You have to visit this site - Tiny Showcase. They sell tiny artprints for a very reasonable price. Right now it's Penelope, you better hurry if you want any of her prints. I will have a print there later, I'll let you know when.

Kindness
I must be a lucky girl, this came to my door - just out of kindness! I guess you all can see who it's from, one of the more creative girls on the web, Sarah - The small object. Thank you Sarah! Now I have no excuse for not doing this :)
Lovely stuff from Tamar Morgendorff, found the link at Karin's style blog. And I saw over at Hillary's that she liked it too.
At Meninas aos riscos I found this link for more creative stuffed things.
As snailbooty pointed out, I'm not the only one that tortures my dog (with softies) - look here.

From sweet Marilyn I received this package today, full of different eyes. She is not only a very talented illustrator (wish I could do portraits like that) she is a great crocheter as well! Thank you so much Marilyn!
Talking about crocheting - these are so cute! I like especially this one.

Nourishment
I haven't participated in Illustration Friday for a while, the new "time schedule" didn't suite me. It's strange how so small things can make a different. But before you got the theme and had a week to figure it out and now... But I really want to participate. This weeks theme is nourishment.
The Month of Softies gallery is up. My monster - here.
Fluffy is in Istanbul and having a great time!

Silk screen prints
Today I've been screen printing on fabric. It's so much fun! I love it! But I'm not sure what to do with the fabric though.
It looks like Monster Town (and Mati Rose?) is organizing another postcard exchange, inspired of My little Mochi I guess.
