Bert: Bert is mostly of a creature lineage, but family lore suggests his DNA may include some chipmunk. This lore is further supported by his facial structure, his scurry-like movements, and his love of peanuts. Bert keeps a tidy nest in the hollow of a large pine tree. Being a vegetarian, he spends his days foraging for mushrooms and berries, and tends a small veggie garden. When he's not ensuring his pantry is fully-stocked, he puts his extra energy and woodworking skills to use by building elaborate houses for his bird friends. He is beloved by all of the forest creatures.
Materials: Sock, plastic eyes, recycled hardware and buttons, beads, resin teeth, dried beans (to give legs and butt a little weight), and polyfil.
Size: Bert is small--the size of a large potato! Just under 6 inches tall in sitting position. Arm span of 5 inches..
Shipping: $10 (If you're outside the US, please contact me prior to purchasing so I can adjust for international rates. If you purchase it at this price and you're outside of the US, I'll need to cancel the order as international shipping starts at $34 and is usually closer to $64. Thanks for understanding.)
Shipping Info: I take creatures to the post office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Once there, your creature will ship USPS Priority Mail, which generally takes 1-3 days. A tracking number will be provided once it's at the post office. (If you order on a Tuesday or Thursday, it might go out the following ship day.)
Please note: Creatures have small parts and should be kept away from small children and pets as they could present a choking hazard. And, while reasonably durable, they are handmade and designed to sit next to your computer or on your nightstand. They’re not for rough-and-tumble play. Please look at the size dimensions of a creature before you order as the photos may make them seem smaller or larger than they actually are. Each creature comes with a printed copy of their story. Thanks for looking!
Anne's creatures are silly, weird, and awesome. Each one has a unique personality and just wants to love and be loved.
The superfluous is the most necessary.
