Halloween Monster #1


This is a Gring of String. He is known for tangling
string, putting knots in necklaces and making
twisted spaghetti out of computer cables.
He feeds off the frustration caused when his
victims try to deal with the tangles. There
is no known protection from this monster.

    Ha! Well, I have a spell to keep him away from me! He actually looks like some kind of scary moth emerging from its cocoon...

  5. Thank you Artsparker!

    Hello Unknown Love! I'm so happy you liked me darlin' monster... He's at your house? Please feel free to keep him there!! ~love

    Carla, you must share this spell! My poor sister spent a half an hour untangling my necklaces for me Sunday, she made the mistake of wanting one of them. To get to it she had to unwind the one next to it that was tangled in the one...well, I'm sure you know how that all went. They were hung neatly on a peg and I had never touched them, so it must have been the Gring!

  23. Hi Toni, I think I have an idea for another monster...it is from a sketch I did a long time ago. I ran into it yesterday while looking for a monster that so far has eluded me.
