"Smaller Side Pieces"

Here are WIP's of, a couple of, the "Smaller Side Project" that have taken me away from the Tea With Gargoyles piece.

The First is a WIP for Poinsettia Imp

The second, a WIP for Origami Faerie

Both are now out of the WIP (work in progress) stage, completed, and will be available in the upcoming future through my Zazzle store

Tea With Gargoyles cont.

Greetings, good folk.

It has been too long since I last updated you on my Tea With Gargoyles piece. Well, there is a good reason; it had been shelved for a bit, in order to do several smaller side pieces. TwG is, however, back on the board! Truly!

Here is a WIP showing where the piece stands, today. Bare with me, and I promise to give regular updates as it (hopefully quickly) progresses.
