Artis de Partis...at home

This is Artis de Partis (and a little girl called Grace) and he is neither animal nor person. He was given to us by a very kind friend and is the mascot of Artis (full name - Natura Artis Magistra, the oldest zoo in the Netherlands). Apparently, if one is an owner of an Artis de Partis, one is supposed to take him on one's travels, take a piccie and send it in. It may then be posted on their website.

Looking at their site, I don't think we'd have a chance of getting our picture published - he's visited the Guggenheim in New York, Bali, Seattle, Athens and other very exotic places with other owners!

(Normally, he doesn't wear the orange shirt and nappy - that was Grace dressing up her dollies!)
