Naugies

Have you ever heard of Nauga Dolls or Naugies?  I hadn't until the other day when a friend told me about them.  She said that my monsters remind her of them.  Hehe!  I haven't really been able to find any information about their origin so if anyone has any information please share.  I need to know!  ;-)

The faces are so perfect!  This makes me want to play around a little more with different eye and mouth shapes.  I love finding new inspiration!

They sell furniture, too??  Huh??

I need to know where these creatures come from.  Can you help me solve this mystery??  ;-)
