  1. As much as creepy crawlies make my skin crawl and shivery with goosebumps i just could not stop looking at this one. Definitley an unearthly fascination with Junior has me in thrall. Junior What? Reminds me somewhat of my favourite all-time creepy tentacled other-worldly being with great, but terrifying beauty... Audrey2!

  4. Wow Nichola! Another gorgeous masterpiece!! I love all the details but I personally wouldn't say Junior is creep-y as much as I would say he is di-vine! :) You know I saw those laser cut greenhouses and remember thinking, Nichola will know what to do with these! :)

    Love, love, LOVE!
