Monster Tails --err, Tales..

Yikes!

Where does the time go? How is it now a week after the Monster Mash?

Well, while I am STILL trying to catch up to myself, I promised you I would give you a few background stories on some of our delightfully creepy creatures. These are based on some of the descriptions the artists sent me of their monsters! Enjoy!

Frankencat by Lisa of Lisa Nelson Art

It's Frankencat - created in my catbratory especially for this swap! His head is half tuxedo cat, half Siamese. He has one orange tabby arm and one gray tabby arm and one calico foot and one black foot. His tail is from a Persian cat.

Som-Som by Amy of The Heart of A Seed

"Som-Som" was a "monster" that used to wake my oldest son when he was around 4. He would wake up crying" the Som Som"!~

Josef Knob by Caroline of Caroline's Crafts

Knobs were once happy little creatures traveling through time. After the darkness came, they were banished to an unseen portal in your closet. The Knobs derive a twisted joy from implanting nightmares while you sleep – a devilish habit thwarted only by the skeleton key lashed to their neck. As long as the key remains in place, they are dormant. If the key is ever untied, the spell is broken and you will never know another night’s rest.

Frau Honkerbooger by Athena of Miss Millificent's World

A Honkerbooger is everything that balls itself up into a big THING: dust, hair, buttons, etc. My sisters and I absolutely hated those things, and couldn't stand being touched by them (we used to play and hide under our beds, so we came in contact with them more than we liked!). I couldn't really do that (I didn't really *want* to do that!), so I made up a story about Frau Honkerbooger; an old hag who creeps out and collects things from under beds, desks and couches.
She has wild hair and a badly-stitched dress, and stained cheesecloth dressing, and errant threads and buttons throughout her hair and dress. I also gave her some fake blood stains because if she finds you, she'll try to collect you, too.

Hope you enjoyed some of our little Monster Tales and, once again, thank you to all of our Monster Swappers!!

And, I am still trying to get to the big news that I've been trying to share with you forever. So, maybe next time? I hope?
