Hobart: Hobart is a daydreamer with an unstoppable imagination. He often hosts elaborate fantasy dinner parties in his head. An example of a guest list: Eleanor Roosevelt, Kurt Vonnegut, God, Einstein, Sylvia Plath, and Hobart himself. There is always great wit, lively banter, detailed debate, playfulness, and sometimes even a bit of flirtation at these parties. Also good soup is served at every party. Hobart loves soup.
Materials: Sock, recycled hardware and buttons, metal bells, beads, resin teeth, dried beans (to give butt a little weight), and polyfil.
Size: Hobart is small--the size of a large potato! About 5.75 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.
