I do have a particularly cuddly, loving German Shepard so I can get that most days but today I wanted to find something comforting and cute to post. You just have to do that sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>Now, my version of cute is usually a little off from the standard cute of kitties and puppies (not that I am at all immune to their devious cuteness) but tell me that this little mom and her, well, baby creature, aren&#8217;t just heart-meltingly adorable. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/people\/octopy\">Dyagileva Marina<\/a>\u00a0specializes in furry and polymer mixed media creations with a little bit of creature and cute all rolled up into her sculptures. The contrasting softness of the fuzzy soft body next to those polymer faces with their big eyes probably helps, plus it is a combination you don&#8217;t see too often with polymer.\u00a0I do find the combination of soft fabrics works quite well with polymer, even in jewelry, although I don&#8217;t know if I have seen furry and polymer on any necklaces but I think I&#8217;m going to go look for some!<\/p>\n<p>If you are up for a dose of slightly off the norm cuteness, you can see more of Dyagileva&#8217;s creations in <a href=\"ttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/Furrykami\">her Etsy shop<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"http:\/\/furrykami-creatures.deviantart.com\/\">Deviant art pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">_________________________________________<\/p>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"likethisblog\">Like this blog?
