Look at this great fabric I picked up at the thrift store:

I have always been a fan of the compass.

Also a fan of the nautical theme.

Taha likes it, too!

Lock your doors! Bring your small furry animals inside! It’s the Swamp Monster!

Here it is emerging from the Oozing Depths of sludge and slime.

Notice the crazed look in the eyes. No one is safe!

Here’s the traditional PterodactylPants embellishment – in lily-pad form.

A bird’s eye view.

And Adorably Sludgy Haiku:

I tried to say hi

before you ran away, but

My mouth’s full of mud!

A bit prematurely. I have begun thinking about the holidays. It’s only natural, as a plush purveyor, since the fall and winter seasons are the ones in which these furry, cuddly critters are in highest demand. They make you feel warm just looking at them, don’t they? Who wouldn’t want a giant maggot to cuddle up to in front of the fireplace on a chilly evening? Here is my first foray into Holiday Plush.

Meet another in the PterodactylPants family – Odilon the Cyclops. I named this monster after its favorite painter – Odilon Redon. It’s a great name, after all. It’s no surprise either, that Odilon the Cyclops loves this painting the best. (Creepy and awesome – like my plush!)

I am toying with the idea of adding protective spikes to the elbows, as one-eyed Odilon has horrible depth perception and bumps into things all the time.

The fuzzy middle part is NOT a huge hairball after all – just a fuzzy belly perfect for cuddling up to on a chilly winter’s evening! And those arms are sooo long – perfect for hugging!

A Post Impressionist Haiku:

My knuckles may drag.

They snagged when I crawled from the

Primordial ooze.

A total departure from my usual style.

A Fringy Haiku:

I read the entire

Encyclopedia, but

I wasn’t in it.
