Lyle: Lyle loves Will Ferrell movies. peanut butter waffle sandwiches, and ginger beer. He's a bit of a homebody but on the rare occasions that he takes a trip, he travels with his little pocket shovel. This enables him to collect some dirt from the new place. Once collected, he puts the dirt in a small bottle with a label of origin, and then--once home--places it on his dirt display rack. His cat is fond of knocking these samples off the rack to express her contempt for his adventures away from home.
Materials: Sock, hardware, plastic eyes, recycled buttons, beads, dried beans (to give legs a little weight), and polyfil.
Color: Most accurate color representation is the full size photo. He is very dark gray.
Listing: This listing is sold separately from Butterfinger who is pictured on the bench with Lyle. They like to tell dad jokes together.
Size: His height varies based on how his ears are folded, but in sitting position he is around 8.5 inches tall. Arm span is around 5.5 inches.
Shipping: $12 (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 $42 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; 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.
