I was happily flitting around the net last weekend when I found a lovely blog called All Things Considered. While I was browsing around I stumbled across a picture of the two creatures I made last summer at a Julie Arkell workshop in France. What a nice surprise!

Peony (rabbit) and Roy (winged creature):
