I Like Trees

Posted on December 24, 2014 by liz

Our tree is a little small, so I had to tape the things onto it!
To make these ornaments I had to buy crayons pencils and markers, all those things had been left behind when we moved to America. I think coloring in should be for folds of all ages. It isn’t wasted time, it’s useful meditation.

World Fantasy Con Sketch 2!

Posted on November 12, 2014 by liz

Folks who came by the SFWA table at WFC were offered free sketches. I drew this one for Karen Meisner. She asked for something with unicorn and moon. She had no idea I was working on a unicorn monkey sketch at the time! Hooray for Chuffles!

I think Mayara and Chuffles will go on more adventures together.

Halloween costume funtimes!!!

Posted on October 23, 2014 by liz

halloweenbunnyLiving in the northern hemisphere, living in Americaland has made me love Halloween. Up here it is the arts and crafts festival. It’s a festival where everyone can make things, everyone can carve a pumpkin. At halloween the gates are flung open and along with the spooktacular, everyone can be a maker.

 

Request One: Send me costume requests for the Things!

It’s fun to play dress ups, as previous comics have shown. Send me your request.

Or send me your own clever Halloween interpretations of the Things! Send them to things@lizargall.com

 

Request Two: PUMPKINS

pumpkinheadSend me your carved pumpkin photos. Carved pumpkins fill my heart with joy and I think Pumpkin Cat gets lonely sometimes.

If you carve a Pumpkin Cat and a Bunson Cat hanging out together I don’t know if there is a limit to my joy and I will send you Things temporary tattoos (and that tattoo paper is not cheap!).

Send pumpkin pics (or picts) to things@lizargall.com

Shrinky Dink test a success (oww)

Although it turns out that I find shrinking Things characters emotionally exhausting. I get really scared they’re going to get hurt and interfere in ill thought out ways that burn my fingers. I made myself not interfere while Bunson was shrinking, but it made me sick to my stomach to see him curl up and shrivel!

After the Things and Bunson shrank I did the love hearts and thank you. I do not enjoy sliding things around on the foil, but not worrying that someone would get hurt made it so much easier. I don’t think I’ll shrink Things without someone to keep me company and they will be extremely limited edition!

I’m pleased with the end results 🙂
