I've been on a bit of a hiatus.  But here is a brand new batch of beasts ready for glazing!  They'll be out on the town soon.  Keep your eyes peeled, Wilmington!

This place

It seems like a lot of them end up here:

 

This worm doesn't have the website on it.  And half of it's face is broken off (the other half.)  Good bye worm!  I hope it becomes a butterfly.

This weekend we were marching and skipping and dancing through Shakori Hills Fall Festival.  After many false placements, we finally left this little tortoise on a log by a bridge.   He has the website on him, but the place was so full of art installations, that I wonder if he won't just sit on that log forever.  Which would be fine.

But if by some chance, this tortoise found you, please leave a comment and tell us about it!

The begining is never the begining

For nearly a year I have been placing these little ceramic spirit animals all over town.  They've been dropped in the unsuspecting and open purses of concert-goers, propped up in planters at restaurants, wedged up high and down low in countless dive bar bathrooms.  Occasionally, I'll give one away straight by hand.  Sometimes I have something that I don't want to sacrifice to the masses-- a cool bear, say.  If I meet some friendly bear-type in line for the bathroom or something, he might get it.  If it strikes me.

The idea is that they go where they go.  The spirit animal finds the person that needs it. 

I always thought it would be cool to track or tag them but never tried-- sent them off naked, no names, no place of origin. 

Until now!

If you are here, one of the tagged buggers has likely found you!  How lucky you are!

Please share the circumstances by which you were united with your animal.  I'd love to hear which way the wind blows them and where they wind up!
