Morton: Morton wanted to be a professional rock climber but it's challenging when you have stubby arms and a potbelly. So he's shifted his dreams to becoming a stand-up comic. Being shy, he practices his routine alone in his kitchen. Sometimes his cat will listen. Most of his jokes start off, "You know you might be a creature with an overbite when...." (Such as "You know you might be a creature with an overbite when your teeth arrive at the party three minutes before you do.") Morton enjoys strong coffee and fudge.
Materials: Sock, recycled buttons, hardware, and recycled zipper. He's stuffed with polyfil and has some dried beans in his butt to give him a bit of weight.
Size: With legs extended he's about 11.5 inches long. In sitting position (butt to ear bend): 9 inches. Arm span: 5.5 inches.
Shipping: $12 (Note: this rate is for within the US. 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. 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.
