NOT OF THIS WORLD

Most people won’t admit to believing in life on other planets. Many people however believe ours is not the only planet that evolved as it did. It’s quite possible the BIG BANG scattered “Life” throughout the universe.
As advanced as our civilization is we have yet to travel outside of our solar system so it’s quite possible the life on other planets may be having trouble leaving their own as well. Perhaps one of these worlds is similar to our own and has large areas of water and perhaps the most advanced species on that world would be the ones that evolved to live in or under the water instead of those who adapted to living on land.  Now, suppose the civilization living there look something like this:




For years we as a people have imagined how the life forms on other planets might look. Since I've decided the people on one of these worlds have evolved to live under water they would not for example wear clothing.





I imagine their bodies would be covered in scales similar to some of our sea creatures. This particular specimen has fins on her limbs for aiding in swimming and it would appear she can spend time out of water. She has a lovely tail and a fin that runs from just below her head and stops a few inches above her tail.



Her eyes would be adept at seeing under water and it would appear that her head is protected by a heavy shell like covering.







I have been a little heavy handed with the photos for this post in hopes I'd be able to show the way her coloring seems to change with each pose. The reason I photographed her with the back drop that I used is because I wanted to show you what the fabric that she was made from looked like before it was painted.

I'm currently working on her mate and hope to have him completed and ready to post by the end of the week. 

I hope you're having a wonderful week and as always, thanks for stopping by.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM CAMP

Dear Mom,

I am so happy I decided to come to Camp Good Bear with Wendy and Bellamine. If I had stayed at home I would have never met my best friend Blossom. We are so much alike we could be twins. We don't look alike although we are both beautiful. Her fur is almost as amazing as mine. Hers is the prettiest color and is so fluffy. Wait until you see her. Prudence took a picture of us. See, I'm staying in the shade so my fur doesn't get sun damaged.



We talk for hours about everything. Next to me she's the prettiest girl here at camp and certainly the nicest. That yellow flower she's holding she picked for me to wear in my fur.

I really like her brother Sweet Pea. He's so nice and handsome and I can tell he likes me too. Remember when you told me that when boys tease you it means they like you? Well, yesterday he chased me with a frog. I pretended to be scared and screamed and ran away and called him a meanie and he laughed in the cutest way. Oh Mom, wait until you meet him.

Prudence is my favorite bearcelor and she's really pretty too. Blossom has a sister named Sissy and she and Prudence look a lot alike.

This is where we are going to be this afternoon.



We've got to practice paddling our canoe for the big race tomorrow. It's the girls against the boys and I think the girls are going to win.

Bellamine and Wendy spend a lot of time making crafts. They're going to need another suit case to bring it all home. I made you a button necklace and a braided key holder. You're going to think I did a wonderful job because they really are the best ever.

Every night the bearcelors tell us scary stories around the camp fire and then we get to have a special treat. They're really yummy and they have a funny name.



They're called smores, and almost as good as honey. I think we need to start making them at home.

Bellamine and Wendy said to say hi and they miss you and to remind you to bring money when you come tomorrow. You are coming tomorrow aren't you?

Hugs and kisses from your little princess,
Clarissa
