Crammed into a doorway, between the night landscape outside and brightness within, an anxious assortment of strange beasties are wedged together. Some appear puzzled, others gleeful, most are simply curious. One bold orange creature leaps with abandon into the glowing space, joining several floating/flying books and strangely shaped objects. Their mysterious adventure continues...

#20252025Challenge
Someone asked me if I wanted a Cornetto today, and without a second's hesitation broke into song, right from the old British advert.
"Just one Cornetto, give it to me. Delicious ice cream, of Italy. Creamy vanilla and chocolate dream, give me Cornetto, from Walls ice cream."
(To the tune of 'O Sole Mio)

The wren is easily recognised by its small, round, plump shape and its distinctive small chestnut-coloured tail which is almost continuously cocked up.

A small drawing of a wren bird sitting on a branch with a background of lavender. The wren is easily recognised by its small, round, plump shape and its distinctive small chestnut-coloured tail which is almost continuously cocked up. An adult wren weighs about the same as a £1 coin. They are one of the lightest birds found in Britain.

On top of its Cerulean blue and Tyrian purple feathers and legs, abstract patterns in similar colors are drawn. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

INNER MONSTERS
Inner Monsters don't necessarily look like "real" monsters. They are part of that constant chatter going on in the background of our own minds, shaping our view of the world. They can appear in a variety of forms, from human, animal, monster-like, even as plants! Most of us... ahem... keep our inner beasties tucked "safely" in the closet, hoping they won't decide to reveal themselves at inopportune times, causing all manner of embarrassing moments, like sudden extreme shyness, unexplained crying jags, overwhelming crankiness, or laughing out loud for no apparent reason, among others. Sound familiar?
The solution is (drum roll please...) to MEET your inner monsters, SEEK to understand them, EMBRACE them as yours, and then LEARN about yourself through them. Bring them out of your personal inner-verse and set them free!

Gorgeous Monsters & Their Pets
Welcome to my new interview series. I am the official human spokesperson for the Guardian Monster Guild, editor of the "Monster Times & Review" and author of the glamorous tell-all book, "What Monsters Want". These are hard-won credentials that I have worked tirelessly to obtain. As an ordinary human being, entering the realm of Monsterdom requires a rigorous determination, and an ego that can survive all manner of taunts, threats and indignation. I have endured countless nips, pokes and licks from numerous monsters whose intent, it seems, was to provoke me into giving up. I have proved them wrong! NOTE: This latest set of interviews on monster pets is for human eyes only and includes interviews with a select group from the Gorgeous Monsters Society. (This is the name they give themselves.) Here we discuss their feelings of unabashed adoration for their beloved pets as well as their care and feeding.

Meet Lord Shrouder, of the Runbludic tribe & his Leaping Lollies: Ishney, Bothart, Rubels and Pamela.

An olive shaped, leaf covered creature sits sedately on a couple of baroque stools, while his four beloved pets play around him. Happy-go-lucky purple beasties with a layered pink mane frolic and tumble into trouble. Their avid curiosity and willingness to bite any and all things with their rows of tiny sharp teeth, suggest chaos may be just around the corner, as one thinks his owners tail looks downright tasty.
