I actually made new pics today! This first one is s'posed to be a
dragon, not a cat or a vacuum cleaner as was guessed earlier today
while chatting:

Because of a comment Veronica made, I decided diddle it to make it a

And here are some of the later developments on this theme.

My verson of the cat:

FS Seemed to think it was something quite different:

it "sucks" :)

I don't know about the rest of the world, but in Sweden a "vacuum
cleaner" is something you eat, so I made this chocolate dipped green
marzipan version:



            .d888888b::::::::::::Y88888booo.
          .d888888888b::::::::::::Y888888888b,

         `Y888888888P::::::::::::d8888888888P'


And this in turn inspired sk to make this animal:
