Looking at Tuesday&#8217;s artist led me down a rabbit hole of impressive figure and doll art where polymer is being beautifully combined with furry textures. I did try to find jewelry, and there are a few things, but nothing that was knocking my socks off.<\/p>\n<p>This artist, however, did grab my attention. Furry doesn&#8217;t have to be cute, quite apparently. This majestic little creature impresses one with both the bright but not overly used dashes of blue and a very sleek and elegant line in its form. You also have to wonder what story the artist has for this creature. I can&#8217;t imagine making something like this without imagining how it would live out in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The artist,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/people\/Escaron\">Linda Lundqvist<\/a>\u00a0who hails from Sweden, creates a wide variety of fantastical creatures,\u00a0that mix characteristics of various animals along with a good dose of pure imagination.\u00a0Discover more of Linda&#8217;s world through her <a href=\"http:\/\/escaron.deviantart.com\/\">Deviant art pages<\/a> and in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/se-en\/shop\/EscaronsImaginarium\">her Etsy shop.<\/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?
