Aloha Bai!
Nice to see you posting 
I'm digging your pink bird tree with the big birdy eyes - very fun & cute!
& your peanut bob is AWESOME - the big one and the cute little ones (?pendants). Loving the idea of turning bob into a peanut! Now you just need a peanut-based drink recipe to go with the mug  We have a liqueur in the U.S. called Castries that is quite yummy & tastes like peanut butter......maybe that could be a start to an appropriate drink for peanut Bob?
Anyway - nice work - let us all know when you're taking orders for 'ol peanut Bob....

Bonjour Bai!
Yay! You finally got your own thread!
Your work is great. I love the new monkey, but tell him smoking is bad for his health.

YAY!!! Bai has her own thread!! Killer work sista'! Your monkeys are really cute, even smoking. I've got a few requests to do a few more monkeys too... Mine look more like the Hyde to your Dr. Jekyll :-) I never could bring myself to making "cute"...You (and Squid too) cover that area quite nicely.
Soooo much damn fine hand built ceramics taking place on TC these days....ya gots to love, LOVE, LOOOOVE it!
