Baby Giraffe No. 5 by Sharon Montrose

"I hate to admit it but I think everyone will benefit from a baby animal today." Thus speaketh the lovely Ms. Sara Distin to me, mere moments ago over IM. Unlikely as it may seem to those who know the mild-mannered, seemingly-sweet-as-pie Sara, she takes a dim view of all my widdle-baby-animule-loving hijinks. This is why I am especially pleased when one of the little suckers melts her cold heart, as today's beguiling Baby Giraffe No. 5 by Sharon Montrose has done over and over and over again during the past few months.

As regular readers are well-aware, we sprang a couple of Sharon's captivating creatures upon our collectors right before Easter. What you all have no way of knowing is just how hard it was to choose. Choose we did, but we've been holding this edition in our hip pocket till just the right moment. Turns out that today's the day, although I hope it won't mean an end to the giraffe-related link trading that Sara and I have been doing as of late.

And with that I'll embed the link most germane—the video below features Sharon talking about her work, with a supporting cast that comprises members of her ever-changing menagerie. Keep an eye out for baby Stanley's loping entry from stage right and see if YOUR heart doesn't melt when he flicks his ears around just so.
