Jonni, you and my husband would get along like gang-busters, you rule-breaker, you! That said, having been a big drawer of mythical beasts in my youth, that's what makes them FUN! They're not REAL! You can make them any way you like! I spent some time looking at my 11 year old cousin's drawings of dragons and other mythicals last weekend. He got some "inspiration" from other sources, but they were definitely his own creations. I think it would be sad to lose that level of creativity altogether. Heh!

She said "You can do whatever you want with (mythological creatures) and there are no rules." I found out some people think there are lots of rules - but I ignore them, of course. Back when my drawfluffy.com website was comment-enabled, I got quite a few visitors who told me (not always politely) that you must <a href="http://www.drawfluffy.com/gryphon.html" rel="nofollow">draw griffins</a> with ears, which I left off. And werewolves don't look anything like real wolves, as I assumed, and dragons don't have any salamander-like parts. People can get rather rigid about how made-up animals should look. Which is sad, in my opinion. But I've never been good at following rules, anyway. There was one thing that Monique said in the newspaper article that made me smile.

I think I'll just be patient. I hope she doesn't charge as much for the book as it is probably worth, considering the quality of her sculptures. By the way, as a working artist you might have some suggestions for Vicki, the last comment on the <a href="http://ultimatepapermache.com/random-thoughts/artist-health-insurance-debate" rel="nofollow">health insurance post</a>. We can't, as artists, just put off a creative life just because congress can't put together a decent health care system. Do you have any ideas for her?

Stunning work, of course. Oh, duh. Yes, probably in her book. That will be one to have on the work table! Thanks for pointing this one out, Jonni. Does she say anywhere what her magic recipe is?
