the little perky psychedelic mushroom

012

This is a very short story about a little, kind and perky psychedelic mushroom, very much child- and adultproof.

Got an order for a little mascot for a child's backpack, I suggested a fly agaric, 'oh cute, but perhaps not sending child-proof vibes?'. So instead the mascot became a little crazy, happy mushroom, green, pink and orange (three of my most loved colours).

Finished off one evening (from order, to idea, to assembling), inspected by Waldemar (it's a difficult task, but someone's gotta do it), and delivered the next day.

I'm hoping it will live a long and mood-lifting life (still waiting for an update on how it's doing its job as a perky mascot). Also planning to make more of them - the colour combinations are endless... - in other shapes as well, then list in Etsy shop as "made to order".

Just for the fun of it, as I'm of the firm belief that one should pay a reasonable price for carefully handmade things I'm under no illusion that I'll sell many (if any), but still, for the fun of it, a listing it will be.

  1. It's really cute, Pia. I think I could use a real psychedelic mushroom right now. :-/

    Thank you so much for the comment regarding Annie's passing. I'm very heavy-hearted, yet relieved she's no longer suffering, poor baby. I miss her so much!

    pärlbesatt, jo då jag vet att det är vinnova du for efter, blev tipsad om tjänsten på twitter för ett par veckor sedan, ligger på min att-söka-lista:) nej då inte hemlig alls, eller ja, lite då'rå eftersom jag inte vill babbla hur ingående som helst i blogg eller annorstädes, men ja, det är väl självbevarelsedrift/yrkesskada det. skrev ett kort svar till din tidigare kommentar, har inte hunnit maila lite mer och berätta ändå. fullt upp med nya grejer, bara bloggen jag ids fylla på *bara för att* - hoppas få lite mer tid till annat när det blir helg igen! höres:)

  4. pärlbesatt - och nej, inte syfestivalen alls. orkar inte med det där med mässor och "hysteriska" folksamlingar som ska shoppa, titta, fynda. bara arbetssamt tycker jag numera.
