Elliot: Elliot's mom was a creature and his dad was a sock monkey. This is not as uncommon as you might think. Temperamentally, sock monkeys and creatures are somewhat similar although there are some cultural differences. Elliot enjoys playing chess, reading historical fiction, and knitting chunky fisherman sweaters for his friends. After a long dry spell, he now has a new girlfriend. And she not only bakes him chocolate chip cookies every Sunday, but she also has red hair, nice shoulders, and a weird sense of humor. He is smitten.
Materials: Sock, plastic eyes, recycled hardware and buttons, and beads. He's filled with dried beans (to givehis legs and butt a little weight) and polyfil.
Size: Elliot is a small creature. He's about 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.

I've been creating creatures for 20+ years. Doing so is my joyful meditative practice. And I don't 'make' creatures so much as I help their existing spirits come into being. For that reason, each creature is totally unique. My creatures are like people: sometimes anxious, sometimes confused, and full of quirky imperfections that make them completely loveable.
