Maybe, if the squirrel had climbed a tree instead, they could have been friends. I plan on having this cute lil’ guy come back for some sassy fun! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/85afc471-aca1-4d7f-a89e-43dbce61c120/MsMo_The_Mo%27shroom_Profile.jpg Mo'shroom Blog - ‘Cause you got Personality! - The Mo’shroom This cute lil’ monster is is my favorite and they should be as they are the reason for doing all of this. There are aspects of this character that are a collaboration of my children, my students, and myself. * The pivotal point in my story is when the Mo’shroom meets the rabbit. The rabbit just wants a nice place to rest and the Mo’shroom just wants to be left alone, so you can imagine how happy both of them are with this agreeable arrangement! This is the point where the Mo’shroom begins to interact with other creatures, facing their fears and their emotions. They stumble on the way but their efforts are rewarded with an unexpected friendship. * This is a work of fiction. Characters in the Mo’shroom story are the product of my imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/88053e15-6cb0-4863-80cf-066fd51fd4c8/MsMo_The_Rat_Profile.jpg Mo'shroom Blog - ‘Cause you got Personality! - The Rat I am not sure about my plans are with this cute rodent, but I do know that they should watch out for that cheese… Yeap! It’s a monster! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/1a3932f6-179f-4779-ab7f-bcbcade85ab8/MsMo_The_Rabbit_Profile.jpg Mo'shroom Blog - ‘Cause you got Personality! - The Rabbit The rabbit is such a sweet character. I have another story on the back burner that features the rabbit, who is from the Sonoran Desert, where I live. The rabbit found it challenging to make friends with spikey cactus (who are monsters like the mushroom), venomous snakes, and lizards who refused to share a shady rock. The rabbit, decided that maybe a new place was in order. This is how the rabbit met the mushroom monster. https://www.msmoshroom.com/moshroom-blog/the-moshroom-the-rest-of-the-original-story monthly 0.5 2024-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/b345523d-9210-4355-99c8-4be750b59bf4/16_The_Mo%27shroom_Toad.jpg Mo'shroom Blog - The Mo’shroom, the Rest of the Original Story! - I am pleased to share with you the rest of the story! To recap the two previous blogs, the Mo’shroom wants to be left alone, but they are bothered by a variety of bugs and critters, like this frog. But, something different happens when a rabbit comes along. The rabbit (who is actually a jack rabbit , which is actually a hare) has their own story to tell, but we will start the rabbit’s story here… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/1718315618880-PGJ8B0UJ4TNSW8AVC8VG/17_The+Mo%27shroom_Rabbit_Sitting.jpg Mo'shroom Blog - The Mo’shroom, the Rest of the Original Story!

Our first page was a table of contents so that we would remember what the prompts were and to help us find specific drawings. Each day, I had to incorporate mushrooms into my work. The majority of my works were mash-ups and cartoon illustrations. I have always enjoyed kitschy art, so I had a lot of fun doing this project. (My students liked this project too, but I am trying not to be in teacher mode, sorry). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/a843c42f-beb4-44bc-b044-8e5e33003d7c/Mushroom+SB.jpg Mo'shroom Blog - Starting Somewhere - A Sketchbook.

My mushroom monster made its first debut outside of the sketchbook. This is where my journey truly took off. My mushroom grew, gained personality, made connections, and a story started taking shape. Thank you for reading my blog. I hope you enjoyed it and come back to see more. My next blog with show case the original drawings of the story my little monster wants to tell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/1717450609795-IULY9YQIVWR0MBM32SRP/3+Mushroom+SB+Toy.jpg Mo'shroom Blog - Starting Somewhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/1717450628586-WE59K6NTNK1R5OQMGJZZ/4+Mushroom+SB+Robot.jpg Mo'shroom Blog - Starting Somewhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/1717450641858-C4T62X6B0DH7I6FBSNT5/5+Mushroom+SB+Boat.jpg Mo'shroom Blog - Starting Somewhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/1717450834297-Q12GF2XTCFB6AER4PLPM/9+Mushroom+SB+Memory.jpg Mo'shroom Blog - Starting Somewhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/1717450658299-1FPVRG0QWCN9U3GLSXEB/12+Mushroom+SB+Musical+Instrument.jpg Mo'shroom Blog - Starting Somewhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/1717450680101-639LWIUOWYKHOWH2EWP7/26+Mushroom+SB+Current+Feeling.jpg Mo'shroom Blog - Starting Somewhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/1717450712165-JUBDENPK0X9SACYY1XHC/32+Mushroom+SB+Fall+Break+Activity.jpg Mo'shroom Blog - Starting Somewhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/1717450740173-23Y06B9B48GYMO2QCGNK/34+Mushroom+SB+Monster.jpg Mo'shroom Blog - Starting Somewhere https://www.msmoshroom.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-05-30 https://www.msmoshroom.com/home daily 1.0 2025-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/ac38a066-47c7-4ca2-8dac-33b59d974f32/Illustration+of+Me.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/bf1f0e57-c4ff-4743-9afb-f1be3b581210/Book+Photo.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/ba7474e5-632c-416f-ae99-8379354511e1/PXL_20211009_182445482.PORTRAIT.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/1446b62c-9930-4284-bb4e-5e0329566b6d/0.0_The_Mo%27shroom_Cover.jpg https://www.msmoshroom.com/about daily 0.75 2025-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6657792c994e1502bf3eff8d/48b2342f-cdb9-44f9-8c14-2369072004dd/IMG_20181011_103916878.jpg
