"I like the Walrus best," said Alice, "because you see he was a little sorry for the poor oysters."
"He ate more than the Carpenter, though," said Tweedledee. "You see he held his handkerchief in front, so that the Carpenter couldn't count how many he took: contrariwise."
"That was mean!" Alice said indignantly. "Then I like the Carpenter best—if he didn't eat so many as the Walrus."
"But he ate as many as he could get," said Tweedledum.
This was a puzzler. After a pause, Alice began, "Well! They were both very unpleasant characters—"

I am starting in on my "Truscheit-style" quest, but I can't resist first trying a few that I have saved from her collection. Not only will it hopefully help lock in and explore the style, they are just so darn cute!!
This walrus, for example, is from one of her earlier images using the technique. I tried building a few times, but one of the things I really need to keep in mind is they are not designed to be big and bold, they work better as baby cute. The first built was the fatty bellow with the speckles on his cheeks - WAY too big. Even the second suffers from too much blubber in the rubber up there. Ah well ...
