Porkutort: Half porcupine, half tortoise abomination of terrible delightfulness. With a rather bulbous (don't tell her I said that) blown glass green body and head, hand sculpted glass legs, tail and porcupine quills, a dash of colored glass for her eyes and mouth and the traditional kritter black top hat... you might say she's the fanciest darn thing you've ever seen. Ever. Unless you live a particularly fancy life, in which case maybe the she's the second most fanciest. If she's less than second then you might as well move along because la-di-da, I'm sure you have a cavier yachting club or something to get to, right? Although Porkutort does like fancy things, so maybe you two would still be a fine fit... and she LOVES eating cavier. And yachts, actually.

She comes with adoption papers, so you realize just how big a commitment purchasing a stationary piece of glass art is.

She's been featured in the Royal Botanical Garden's "Glass Under Glass" exhibit in Hamilton Ontario, which is kind of a big deal for someone who used to be liquid glass. She did such a fine job standing there amongst pretty plants that she's already been invited back for next year too, and is already practicing a rather heavy footed tap routine for the occasion.

If you'd like to see the pictures of this fine lady in much higher quality, as well as some pictures of her other kritter pals, you can check her out at my "Available Kritters" gallery on my main website at:

What is a Porkutort, you may be asking? Well... let's see if I can put this succinctly for you.

Close your eyes, and imagine... wait, keep them open so you can read this... Okay, just imagine a place that's always just out of the corner of your eye, a place where you think if you spun your head REAL fast you might be able to spot it. This place, which we'll call "that place out of the corner of your eye that may or may not exist but darn it if you didn't see SOMETHING last October" or TPOOTCOYETMOMNEBDIIYDSSLO for short, is a happy place. A place with frogs that sing, ducks that sing, and bears that also sing. There's also a cat, but he doesn't sing, he just sits there all day and ponders things. Things like "Hey, why don't I sing?" and "I wonder what Tuesday will be like?"

So in this place, things happen. Things like, I don't know, the Sun rises at night sometimes. Por- *CHARACTER LIMIT REACHED*
