Artist's Comments

I love these brightly colored, simple critters...I just need to figure out the kind of background they want to live on. (There's the rub!) Metallic gold is a little better than blank white, but it's still not perfect yet.

I am quite pleased with the design, though. I also think he'd make a fabulous pair of enamel earrings, but I'm not sure how I'd get those made. Probably there's a place in China that does it, but I'd probably need to buy 300 pairs or something.

5 x 7, mixed media (I WILL use that tube of iridescent gold metallic acrylic I bought in 1997 in my lifetime!) on watercolor paper. Original will probably go to MFF with me, unless somebody's just gotta have it first, prints available at Red Wombat Studio at: [link]

I could make you some earrings out of him. They would be pretty cute, but I would need to print him off. I even promise to only print for you/no other reason other then for a pair of dangley earrings/only with your permission. If yer interested, you can email me at wylde_works@hotmail.com
