Durthi the plant shaman

‘She watched the roots reach up out of the ground. Twirling around each other. Tying themselves together, standing tall. She would have run when she saw her face forming in the organic ballet if the roots holding her hands and feet would loosen their grip…’

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Don’t rip up flowers willy-nilly. You never know if a dryad will be watching. So, yes, Durthi has arrived at the Little Fears Etsy store. She’s available as an original art piece, not a print. On 220 gsm canvas card. Inked with a Faber-Castell PITT artist pen – Black. Free first class Royal Mail worldwide delivery. I also have Leo the lioness and the Siamese kitties in my shop if Durthi doesn’t tickle your fancy.

Sleepy Sally

Chasing Leads – ep. 18

Sally took a few sips of her coffee. “Very nice, perfect drinking temperature.”

“I think so,” said Robyn. “Do you like felines?”

“Oh I love kittens,” replied Sally, rubbing her eyes.

“Good,” said Robyn. “I hope you see them in your dreams.”

“What…” gasped Sally, toppling over. “What have you…”

“Sleeping pills in the coffee,” replied Robyn. “I know who you are. I’ve seen you in a picture with DCI Lily. You’re not taking my moggy art away from me!”

“Oh no…” cried Sally drifting in and out of sleep. “I need a cat nap…”

Kitty Coffee

Chasing Leads – ep. 17

“You’re kind of funny,” observed Robyn. “Can I invite you in for a drink?”

“Sure,” replied Sally. As she walked through the door, she was a little unnerved at how many cats roamed the flat. “You like cats, huh?” she asked.

“I love them,” replied Robyn, switching the coffee machine on. “Cats are elegant, friendly and sexy.”

“Aren’t they just,” replied Sally. “What sort of coffee is that?”

“My own brew,” replied Robyn. “Catpurrchino.”

Friendly Face

Chasing Leads – ep. 16

Robyn narrowed her eyes. “Do I know you from somewhere?”

“I don’t think we’ve met, Miss,” replied Sally, a little nervous.

“I’m usually pretty good with faces,” said Robyn. “I was in a competition once, putting names to the faces of celebrities.”

“WELL DONE!” cried Sally.

Robyn stood back. “I didn’t win.”

“Sorry,” replied Sally. “I suffer from premature congratulation.”

Rhubarb

Say hello to Rhubarb. This weeks #Colour_Collective is Lincoln Green. The top of the horns is Lincoln Green. Originally had a black body, coloured purple, and looks so much as fear of Rhubarb to me.

With special thanks

Weekly shout out to my $10 patron, Warren from IWrite. Without people like Warren, I wouldn’t be able to wake you all with my little fears and you’d probably cry a lot less in the morning than you already do.

Pool Card

Chasing Leads – ep. 15

“You’re going to need to distract her for a few minutes while I hop through the window,” said Lily.

“Yes, ma’am. I have a plan,” said Sally, confidently striding up to Robyn’s door and ringing the bell.

Robyn answered the door. “Hello?”

“Good morning Miss,” replied Sally. “I’m collecting donations for our local children’s swimming pool. May I ask for a contribution?”

“Sure,” replied Robyn. “How much do you want?”

“I’d say a mug of water would be enough,” replied Sally.

Monopoly Cafe

Chasing Leads – ep. 14

“I know where she is,” sighed Poppy.

“Do you have an address?” asked Lily.

“No,” said Poppy, “but do remember, Rollie Dice? She lives in her old flat.”

“Rollie Dice ma’am?” asked Sally.

“She was a criminal mastermind, Sally,” replied Lily. “One demanded I recreate a monopoly board or she was going to blow up a local coffee shop.”

“Gosh!” gasped Sally. “What goes through your head in that sort of situation?”

“Well,” said Lily, “I thought I’d have a Go…”

Siamese Loaf

Chasing Leads – ep. 13

“I left her when the cat’s got too much for me,” said Poppy.

“Anything event particular?” asked Lily.

“I think the final straw,” said Poppy, “was when she made me bake her a Siamese cat out of flour, margarine, yeast and water.”

“Was anything else mixed in?” asked Sally.

“No,” replied Poppy. “It was pure bread.”

Fish Wife

Chasing Leads – ep. 12

“I dated her for a while,” admitted Poppy.

“Did you partake in any of her cat based shenanigans?” asked Lily.

“She made me dress up a few times,” sighed Poppy. “She’d make me wear the top half of a cat costume and slip my legs into a giant fish tail.”

“I see,” said Lily. “So you were a meowmaid?”

Cat Bed

Chasing Leads – ep. 11

“So how much did you know about her?” asked Lily.

“I knew she had some funny fetishes,” replied Poppy.

“Such as?” asked Lily.

“Between you and me,” whispered Poppy, “she used to like dressing her partners up as cats before she let them into her bed.”

“Good grief,” gasped Sally, “what a purrvert!”
