I was doing a little rearranging in my studio the other day or shall I say cleaning or maybe just moving junk around. I'll err on the side of diplomacy, I need to be kinder to myself. I came across a template for Swimmy. He is the character in a children's book of the same title. Etsy launched a group project asking members to make a swimmy to send to headquarters. This was in February. Well mine swimmed over to Etsyland in June. I came across it and thought what the heck, a cool lake dweller would be my creative warm-up for the day. I hand dyed some paper and cut the lovely orange rice paper to make my swimmy an organic rainbow scaled stud.
