Well lookie here!
I met a wonderfully talented woman named Missy when I was in Sacramento at the Paper Garden this year (actually I met her for the first time last year, but got to know her a little better during workshops this year). Missy has her own site where she creates awesome handsewn animals and other too cool creations - check out her site Crafty Carnival to see all of the fun things she can do.
I asked if I could possibly commission her to make some penguins for me, with her own whimsical style, and she obliged me with 30 beautiful little penguins. We received the box and it was like Christmas seeing all of the penguins inside - each one a little different, with unexpected, hip fabric for bodies and a plush scarf around each ones neck. I couldn't have been more pleased with the results!
Can't you imagine one of these little guys on your art table or given as a gift to a friend?
OMGosh, I LOVE these! How FUN!

Hi Dave.
Happy New Year. I love all your new stamps, paper and blogs.
You are the best Dave!! Missy did a great job on these penguins and darn it, I want one.
My sister and I played with your penguin stamps during our holiday vacation. We had so much fun. She loves them just as much as I do. I wish you continued success this year and safe travels.
I love that you are always up to something new and wonderful.
