Heinlein: Heinlein created string theory. Now, you may say to him: "What are you talking about? Gabriele Veneziano invented string theory." And Heinlein will explain that he invented the actual string-thing for which there is now a theory. And the original creation goes beyond the ability to name using human language. But, whatever. He doesn't really care if Veneziano gets the credit. And it's not even Heinlein's best invention. Although to be fair it is in his top ten favorites. Heinlein keeps a broken key in his chest pocket. It's a reminder that we all have the key to everything. And--although our keys are often broken--that's kind of the point if you really think about it.
Materials: Sock, glove, recycled hardware, beads, metal bells, embroidery floss, and recycled key. Heinlein is stuffed with polyfil and dried beans. (Beans give his butt some weight.)
Size: About 12 inches with legs extended. 10.5 inches when sitting. Arm span is about 5.5 inches.
Shipping: $12 (Note: 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. Thanks for understanding.)
Shipping Info: I take creatures to the post office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (If you order on one of those days, I'll try to get it to the PO that day but I can't guarantee it.) 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.
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 larger or smaller than they actually are. 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.
