The Kindly Shepherdess with her Flock

Effie the Shepherdess is so happy now that she has her flock.  And she takes such good care of them, keeping them nice and clean and dressing them up in pretty bows.  About all I have to say about her is that she's my favorite.

By the way, when I described this and the polar bear piece to my friend Patty she suggested that I call them the "world peace" line since I have animals that are natural enemies in friendly juxtaposition.  I think instead that what I am depicting is the true spirits of the animals, "Spirits" in the sense of what they truly are without the burden of survival in this world.
