The People Who Lift Me Up

Yes, I Said Boggling, Not Blogging!!!



I finished designing my logo for my new ratty line of soft sculpture dolls. Isn't is cute? I have decided to call them Boggles as it's one of my very favorite things that a pet rat does. What a huge smile for me it is!
For those of you unfamiliar with what boggling is, it's a very odd thing a rat does when they are very happy. At first they brux, which is a noise they make by clacking their teeth fast together and scraping them back and forth, it's similar to like when a cat purrs. Well, the muscle they use to do this happy bruxing is connected to their eyes and when used a lot it causes them to boggle which is the term used when their eyes literally vibrate and pop in and out. Not, as in, all the way out of their head but you can very much visually see this funny, unique, and adorable "happy dance". It's so funny and I love it when they do this, it lets me know I am giving them a super happy home!
I do not have my prototype finished yet and it will be a bit more time before one surfaces. I really do need to get a handful of other projects done first but I have to say I am tickled to have atleast gotten a logo done.
Thanks for peeking my friends!
