The Little Red Riding Hood and the Small Sweet Wolf

The Little Red Riding Hood and the Small Sweet Wolf

Did you grow up loving fairy tales like The Little Red Riding Hood? We sure did!

In the world of amiguruMEI, Aka-chan and Ookami-chan are best friends who live in the woods, oblivious to the dangers that surround them.

Nobody is born bad, Aka-chan says. “Certainly not baby wolves.” Indeed, Ookami-chan is as innocent as they come.

So don’t judge a book by its cover, ‘kay?

Merron-chan goes green

Merron-chan goes green

Merron-chan is four and loves the colour green.

While she’s too young to know anything about saving the environment or things like recycling just yet, she has a heart of gold, and is a cheerful girl of sorts, always on the lookout for sunbeams and white clouds.

She has yet to see a forest, or a tree house for that matter.

Just what kind of grown-up would she grow up to be?

Dear Coraline

Dear Coraline

Coraline Jones is often curious and bored.

She hates it when people call her “Caroline”, which happens more often than not.

Her mischevious nature is based on Neil Gaiman’s Coraline, which was later adapted into a wonderful stop-motion film of the same name.

She is not one for dolls, but can’t help being attracted to a lookalike softie (with buttons for eyes) she found in the garden outside.

I love it when it rains!
That sure looks creepy, but I like it!
Halloween rocks!

 

 

 

Penguin-san, Penguin-san

Penguin-san, Penguin-san

Shirokuma-kun and Panda-kun’s close friend is Penguin-san, a black, white and yellow-tinted emperor penguin.

However, his whereabouts have yet to be sighted in the worlds of amiguruMEI.

{Shirokuma-kun and Tuxedo-san are having a chat about the weather}
Panda-kun: Penguin-san, Penguin-san!
Tuxedo-san: ???
Panda-kun: What are we having for lunch later?
Tuxedo-san & Shirokuma-kun: ???
Shirokuma-kun: Panda-kun, this is Tuxedo-san.
Panda-kun: Ehhhh?
Panda-kun: Why are you wearing a tuxedo today, Penguin-san?
Shirokuma-kun: Sigh…
