Cute & Vaguely Creepy Mini-Gallery


I call this collection my Cute And Vaguely Creepy Creature Gallery. I started out with the cute bunny, cat and dog but then got bored with cute and opted for some of the less popular (but just as fascinating, in my opinion) creatures.

Anyway, I've put my experiment up for sale on Etsy. If you buy them and you're on Livejournal, feel free to add them to your personal icon collection:
