Where did this toy come from? Who's is it? Was that here last night?

It is pretty cute, something really unique too. You're not getting that at the local supermarket, that's for sure. I do wonder where it came from though... did it just smile a bit at me? Are it's eyes moving?



I'll leave the rest of this pooltoy mystery to your capable imaginations. I'm usually good about getting an end of summer piece, but I thought I'd spice things up this year with a beginning of summer piece. What better way to do that than to make Tallu all cute and puffy?

And  Cari came to help make that a reality with her wonderous expertise again... I've got to see how she added some of that shine layering to the vinyl and recreate it in traditional mediums... Goodness I love the work she did on that cat this time. Along with being a quick but uninvolved distraction from a hellishly busy time on the ship, it was also nice to drop this idea between two other... less family friendly... ideas that I might key y'all into later. We'll see.

Until then, check your AC's, puff up your toys, mix up your kool-aids, and get ready for the hot months in the northern latitudes.
