Softies Central

A Little World by Elsita

Elsita is one of my very favorite artists. I'm forever astounded at the breadth of her creativity and I fall in love with each and every new piece. This little world is described in detail on her blog, Dolls Have Feelings Too, including the materials used to make all the elements.

The Perils of Living with a Dog

The very talented Raggy Rat made this wonderful rabbit, Edward. Apparently Edward has to share the house with a dog named Rosie. Seems unfair, but what can you do....

 

Rosie pulls Edward off the chair.

Looks like Rosie is contemplating her crime....or is she thinking of eating Edward?!

 

Rosie caught red-handed and looking very guilty!
