One hot summer day a few years ago I longed to take off for the beach with its cool ocean breeze. I couldn't get away, so I sent my little clay piggies instead. One little piggy found a watermelon, another pig took up painting and a third transformed herself into a mermaid!
Do you like fantasy? I'm tickled to be making three mermaid animals—a Mermaid Cat, a Mermaid Dog and a Mermaid Pig. I also make two of my own personal fantasy favorites—a star-studded Dragon and a pastel rainbow Unicorn.
My granddaughter loved dinosaurs when she was four. One day she included me in her play. Her favorite dino crept slowly across the room looking casually from side to side as if he was not at all interested in me. Then, suddenly, he jumped on me with a ROAR! And a giggle! I make a bright green dinosaur, really an Apatosaurus, and a purple T-Rex for all the children and children at heart who love their dinosaurs.
