Every year, my neighbors Kathy and Alistair host a great Christmas eve party. Silly games are involved, and great food and great company. An important part of the evening is a gift exchange, and each year has a theme...something broad, to be interpreted as each guest sees fit. This year's theme is "Dreams". Well, I decided this was the perfect opportunity to create a strange dream monster. I started out with a green cotton print, and the result had lots of arms and legs and other odd appendages, but just didn't have "it". So I scrapped that idea, and decided my creature would be furry. I made a pear-shaped body and a round head, added a long neck and eye stalks, which later became ears, and a silly nose. Once the legs were added, there was no denying it: this guy looked like a kangaroo. I really don't know how to interpret this: my dream monster turns out to be a kangaroo. What does that mean???
