Rest in Peace, Anne McCaffrey

The Dragonriders of Pern series is pretty much what, along with Star Trek and a few other bits of science fiction and fantasy, kept a very geeky, socially awkward, frequently bullied, and often bored teenaged Shoveling Ferret somewhat sane and alive and even happy through middle and early high school.

And I still have a huge geek crush on Robinton and sometimes wish Oreo was a fire lizard and would dearly love to visit Pern somewhere other than my imagination.

Thank you, Anne. You made a lot of people very happy, very thoughtful, and very entertained.

Tree Spirit

This cute guy appeals to many of my likes: fantastic creatures, cute things, and crazy hair, especially crazy blue-green hair (anyone who knew me my Freshman year in college can definitely attest to the blue-green hair part). I love the additions of fuzziness as well as the earthy colors for this inquisitive Tree Sprite.

Go check out Angry Angel's flickr stream too - there are some other fabulous creations to be admired!

Cinderella by Marina Bychkova

I've featured Marina Bychkova's amazing dolls here before and new work has just been uploaded to Flickr. Her dolls are just breathtaking to me and Cinderella is no different - the distant, slightly frightened facial expression is very arresting and, as usual, the rest of the doll is exquisite.
