Calico Shukat Room Guardian

Available in my shop this Sunday March 16th at 12pm EDT.

The Calico Shukat has a clear quartz crystal heart. It stands about 10 inches tall and it has a coat of high quality faux fur that is very soft. Every patch of color was a different piece of fur hand quilted together. The hands are sculpted out of a flexible clay that does not break when bent. The neck, legs, and tail have a fully posable plastic ball and socket armature inside that will not wear out over time. The arms have a posable wire armature inside.

See how it was made on my Patreon.

Did you know sea otters have pockets made of loose skin under their forearms? They use these pockets to store food and treasured rocks.

Sea otters use the rocks to open shells while they drift around on the open water.

I feel the spring time in my bones, it's hatching like an easter bunny. That's how they're born, right?

There’s always time for a quiet evening stroll with a few good friends (and maybe a snack, if the scenery looks scrumptious enough)

(this is another custom request from last year’s Kickstarter~)

A mermaid found a swimming lad, Picked him for her own, Pressed her body to his body, Laughed; and plunging down Forgot in cruel happiness That even lovers drown.

"Grateful" by Laura Graves on INPRNT

Grateful for where I’m at, excited about where I’m going. An inspirational quote for living your best life. Styled with retro minimalist hand lettering typography and vintage swans printed on a night blue lake reflecting the star-filled sky. Research into Daily Affirmations shows that positive thinking can change the way you feel about things, decrease stress and increase well-being. Amen to that.
