These are "Perkkapurple Pines" that are from my children's book "Miratambo Moonsong". This actual plush toy is 12 years old. I designed them on paper and my Mother, who is a really talented seamstress put them together for me. I love these characters. I think that these character have a special type of magical quality. I hope that someday they, like the other character "Zinkle Quinkle" will become a real toys. I am looking to license my beloved book "Miratambo Moonsong." I am also in the final stages of finishing the illustrations for the follow up book titled "In A Place Called Barrontippeny." So, I will be looking for a publisher soon.
