Funny Valentines Gift - I dig you

The idea for these little guys came to me one day when I was driving my son to a friends house. It instantly made me chuckle. I hope you enjoy them too and that they find someone to love this Valentines day.

Ten Methods of the Heavenly Dragon

Some of you may not know that I (Anna) am also a fine art painter. One of my paintings has become the cover art for this amazing book written by a very good friend of mine. The book is about a man searching for a path to enlightenment and his travels in Asia with a western born monk. Reading the book changed my life and I was over the moon to be given the opportunity to have my art on the cover. I am so excited about this for so many reasons!! *bounces around the room happily*


"A truly remarkable book, profound and deeply moving! This first person account of a lifelong seeker’s apprenticeship with Shun Yuan, a gentle Western-born Adept of the Tao and Taiji martial arts, enthralls the reader both as a teaching story and an introduction to as remarkable a man as any hero out of fiction. In the end, one is left with a sublime sense of inevitability and peace. An amazing achievement!"

- Irving Karchmar, 

Author of Master of the Jinn: A Sufi Novel

Little felt Cellos

Three little cellos for 3 little cello playing mice. I named our Cellist mouse after my mother who has been a Cello teacher since before I was born. The first Cello mouse I ever made was a Christmas gift for her. She has her own shop oddsandendpins where she sells colourful enpin rests for children and teaching aids for music teachers.

Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet Mice

 
A customer with a Dutch husband asked for my Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet mice, I had made them 6 years ago back before I really understood the characters and now I knew I could do better. She was so patient while I remade them and I am so pleased with the result. I hope our Dutch fans (and my customers hubby) will agree, they look rather dashing now!
