Race-Car Annie: Her older brother nicknamed her Race-Car Annie when she was a little kid who loved nothing more than playing with her Hot Wheels set. She'd take the corners so fast that her custom-painted metallic pink car would fly off the track every time. When she grew up, she started a punk rock band called Fireball 8. After great success but a growing aversion to loud noise as she got older, she now spends her time restoring vintage muscle cars. And, true to her name, she races her favorite metallic-pink Mustang at the local track every chance she gets.
Materials: Socks, plastic eyes, recycled buttons, recycled hardware metal bells, beads, polymer heart, dried beans (to give legs a little weight), and polyfil.
Size: In sitting position, she is about 10 inches tall. Arm span is 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.
