Carl has reinvented himself from a snagged-up pashmina scarf. Mom and Bubba think he needs a mouth, but this way he can’t jabber, only flail his arms about for attention. I like it better that way.

Shhh, don’t tell Carl, but I created him. He came about a little oddly: I took a class from Carla Sonheim and she had us loosen up by forming wire into the shape of our pet. I smushed up the figure of Buddy my cat to get him back home and stashed him in my stash-room (everyone has one of those right?). Came across him recently but looked at him upside down, and laughed at the fabulous creature shape he took on, and voila. The moral of this story? Take classes out of your comfort zone - of course. love (and plushies)
