Description
Available at Etsy'Oh how I love companionship, and sharing my life with loved ones and friends. I am a creature of transformation, though you might not think so to look at me. But just see how I am on land, versus how I dance so beautifully in the water? I am clumsy sometimes and graceful at others. I am a seal in the mundane world, and I am the selchie of legend in the otherworlds. I can bark or I can sing. Have you ever wondered how to reconcile your different selves together? I know how to teach you. Have you ever wanted to learn how to celebrate your body no matter what it looks like? Why, that's easy! And I can teach you that too. Let us dance in the water together.'

I like that they make their own swirls against the background in such a lovely calm mauve.

A perfect pallet choice again. I also adore the fur- with so little texture you have convinced us of it's fine, impermeable skin!
The iridescence must be stunning IRL.

This one messed with me for ages. I actually thought I'd ruined it on the first passover with watercolour pencils, and I managed to pull it back, but seal messes with me a lot. I love love love seals, but colouring them (as the colours come across to me from them) is always a bit of a weird struggle.
(The iridescence is always so much better irl, I just can't capture it via a scan).
