In second place, say hello to Blue Magic by Sue O'Guin of Ocean Isle Beach, NC. Sue says "I'm calling this "Blue Magic", because somehow blue sloth hair magically transformed into blue feathers of the herons, background fabric magically turned into top notch and legs, tree branches turned into small cattails, and even a few flowers magically showed up on the driftwood log."

In third place, we have Baby Brown Eyes by Kara Kluszynski of Garner, NC. She says "Starting life as a white fur rug, Baby Brown Eyes was hand dyed and spray painted then brushed before climbing into a favorite tree of the friends and family that surround him."
