I designed a set of small animals for a few reasons. One, I enjoy a nice palate cleanse after (and sometimes during) a large project, it is nice to have a nice and easy instant gratification. Two, I love having small little creatures on hand to give out to little people that might be watching me as I work in public (which I do often). Three, they are wonderful to have as nice and inexpensive items on your craft fair table, it is hard to say no to the kid you dragged with you to a craft fair when the little thing they want is so cute and inexpensive. :)
