Chamomilla, Flora and Herb

Since I am filling in as administrator for the Month of Softies group over on Flickr while Amy is on a maternity break, and I called the theme, I thought I should participate. The theme is "Plant Life" and here are three of my little plant pals. In the individual portraits below (which you can see larger versions of by clicking), Chamomilla relaxes with a cuppa tea, Flora spends some time in the sun with her cousins, and Herb is hanging out with his buddies from the Italian cooking class.

      

I had originally planned for four, but they took longer than I expected and I wanted to spend more time on my "Midsummer Night's Dream" stuff. You may have noticed a theme of little armed and legged non-animal or person things lately. I think it all started with this impulse purchase from superbuzzy:

Which I bought with absolutely no idea of what I'll ever do with it because it reminded me of one of my all-time favorite videos, Blur's Coffee and TV. What do you think the dude with the square blue head is? My current theory is an ice cube to help with the fire. I've been getting inspired by so many odd things lately that I'm beginning to feel a bit overloaded. I can't work that fast!

I love Herb, really I do. I need to go and check that group out. Themes? I love it.

I always love your creativity - the individual photos are great. And I agree I do think that is an icecube...

those little plants are so funny! i was toying with the idea of making a little smiling shrub, but then i see i'm a month too late. i think the months are just too short for me.

i hope your spring is going well in your garden!

I love the little flower people! Too cute. That retro fabric is so sweet. Whatever you make you need to blog it so we can see what you do with it.

Hi there. I recently discovered your blog and have been reading some of the archives. I'm loving your work (both the drawings and soft creations) and finding it very inspiring!

[Diane Duda]

Thanks for "hearting my shop". I was beginning to think you met a horrible end at the hands of these cute little flower people.

Hope your summer is going well.
Love, me

I'm pretty sure the blue headed guy is viagra.

I could be wrong.

I think the little blue guy is a milk can.
