Isabelle: Isabelle just wants everyone to be happy. She knows life can be hard and that some of us have anxiety or depression or other life challenges. She wants you to know that whoever and however you are in this world: It is okay. It is good. It is even grand. She knows you're doing the best you can do just as every person around you--no matter how imperfect-- are doing the best they can do, too. Grace is for everyone. She loves you exactly as you are.
Materials: Gloves, recycled sweater, hardware, metal bells, fabric bow, embroidery floss, faux-metal flower trim, recycled buttons, dried beans, and polyfil. She holds a removable rose.
Size: In sitting position she is 10 inches. With legs extended about 11.5 inches. Arm span of about 4 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 and usually is 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 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.
