Splash

Splash, the little white seal, meets the other toys at the seaside and, so far, has only appeared in one book (Splash) She is friendly, kind and fun and rescues Little Bear when he floats out to sea in a bucket.

When I decided to draw a seal I searched around to find a toy one that I liked and when I couldn’t find one I made Splash out of an old piece of white mohair fabric. To make her sea-shell necklace I drilled holes in tiny shells and threaded them on a piece of elastic.
