It's always something...

Merlin was passing through the studio last night and made a rather rude comment about my latest creation. "Who's the mugwumpus?" Mugwumpus?! But I guess that does say it all. So no witch this time...or even a crone. What we have here is a shortish, independent marsh dweller. Right now, he is being fitted for some water-proof boots....says they are absolutely necessary.

I don't know what else they wear but I'm sure it'll tell me. (Right now I'm not even sure of gender...)

Merlin also mentioned that he will not be attending the Miniature Show in July....he has "things to do". However, Stanley, the luv, has agreed to help out provided he is outfitted with the proper wizard finery and gets an appropriate name for the occasion. He thinks "Stanley" doesn't have the right ring to it. I suggested "Stanislov Petrov" of the Ukranian Petrov wizarding family and he, thankfully, agreed. Now to come up with something regal, wizardy and Russian. I'm thinking Cossack boots and fur....

I think the Mugwumpus is interesting. Can't wait to see he/she/it finished!

Don't forget to make Stanislov something with red on it. Red is the color that signifies beauty in Russian culture. Yellow/gold is for the Sun and wealth. Black is for the Earth.

Thank you MiniKat! I have fitted Stan for a pair a grey leaher boots with red trim...maybe even a side tassel. Not sure about what else. Since I don't want him to look like Santa, I'm thinking Grey with red. I'm actually rather excited about this...and poor Stanley has waited almost 13 yrs. Can you imagine??

I agree with Nicky I can see him oozing with personality. I can see him in a small home maybe a one room shanty type home.. Can't wait to see him finished..
I knew there were beings living in the Marsh (lol) and now I have proof.. Thanks for sharing him.
