Beanie Baby Mutations, Part I

Take one Beanie Baby Snail. Dismember it a bit. Add a Beanie Baby pony. Insert some carefully placed pins. Sew. The result? SnailPony! My friend and BKP (Best Kendo Partner--we earned our black belts together) has a Pony named Pepsi. She also has a stamp dispenser that is a plastic snail. Somewhere in the fatigue of post-workout pizza dinners, the idea of a SnailPony was born. This plush version, a true one-of-a-kind treasure, was a college graduation present. Think it can't really be ridden? Well, you just have to be the right size.

I believe you are wasting your time with your day job-you should be creating the new beanies of tomorrow.
Nice job on the mutation.

OMG--that is too stinkin' cute for words! Just when are you going to open an Etsy shop, my dear? Seriously. You must. The world deserves a chance to get their hands on your creativity!
