Old Spice: His real name is Preston, but because he wore way too much Old Spice in high school, he got a nickname from his buddies that would stick with him forever. Old Spice likes barbecue, reality television, and shopping at Costco. Costco, he believe, might be a good place to meet his forever lady. When he shops, he loudly says things like: "Wow, this is SUCH a good deal on spaghetti sauce but it's WAY TOO MUCH for a SINGLE GUY like myself." He hopes, someday, a pretty lady will offer to split the spaghetti sauce with him. So far, no luck. But he's an optimist. And truth be told, he drinks spaghetti sauce for dinner sometimes, so it's really not too much for him at all.
Materials: Sock, plastic eyes, recycled hardware and buttons, beads, resin teeth, metal bells, dried beans (to give legs and butt a little weight), and polyfil.
Size: Old Spice is about 6 inches tall in sitting position. Around 11 inches with legs extended. Arm span of 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 $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.
