Description:

I love the Moomins (by Tove Jansson). If you have not read these wonderful children's (and child-at-heart adult, because adults love them too) books, then here is your introduction. This swap series will be of ATCs for each Moomin character.

Next is the Groke. She appears as a ghostlike hill-shaped body with two cold staring eyes and a wide row of white shiny teeth. In the book 'Who Will Comfort Toffle?', it is mentioned that she has a tail, but it has never been seen. Wherever she stands, the ground below her freezes and plants and grass die. She leaves a trace of ice and snow when she walks the ground. Anything she touches will freeze and on one instance she froze a camp fire by sitting down on it. She seeks friendship and warmth, but she is declined by everyone and everything, leaving her in her cold cavern on top of the Lonely Mountains. On one occasion in a comic, however, she was hailed as a hero when she, in her constant search for warmth, extinguished a forest wildfire by sitting on it.

One ATC for one partner. Due to flakers, swap has rating restrictions, and I'll be checking profiles. I reserve the right to ban anyone who I don't think will follow through. If necessary I will angel, though I hope it will not be necessary.

Usual ATC dimensions: 2.5" X 3.5" or 64 X 89 mm, on appropriate sturdy at least 100# paper.
