Wingfeather minifigs and the Igiby Cottage

Carson and his brother Colson sent us these pictures of their collaborated Wingfeather creations.Here is the Igiby Cottage and all the Igibys. Sara Cobbler is in town for the Dragon Day Festival.Spoiler:Back to happy thoughts! Here is the upstairs bedroom in the Igiby Cottage. ("Comfy!")And here is the main floor of the cottage. In the words of Carson, "Downstairs Dining/Living Room (smells of cheesy chowder and bagged thwaps!)."

Thank you guys! This is super cool. :-) That is an amazing Black Carriage (woe!), and I love that the cottage's roof opens up. And the minifigures are fantastic! How cool that you included a thwap in Podo's sack!

Any more Wingfeather Lego creators out there?

True names in enemy territory

Amy at faith starts at home has been wrestling with the deep themes in the Wingfeather Saga.

Some of the very best books I read last year were the four books in the Wingfeather Saga by Andrew Peterson. I’ve been wanting to tell you all about it for a while, and I’m sorry it’s taken me so long, but my love for this series was so deep, I’ve had some trouble finding the right words to tell you about it. ...I want more for myself than who I was before Jesus. Don’t you?I want to remember who I am.Over the past year or two, the Lord has been revealing places in my life where I am full of fear, and don’t completely trust Him. It’s been painful to look at the parts of my heart that still need work, but it has also been so sweet to realize that Jesus knew they were there all along and has been patiently waiting for me to turn them over to Him.

Read the full post here. Thanks so much, Amy, for sharing your heart.

The Jellogone and other beasts

From Jubilee, who writes:

Hello,

I'm a ten year old artist who really liked reading your books. They were in the top ten books I've ever read. I thought that my style of drawing was similar to the drawings in your Creaturepedia and was wondering if you would be interested in them. The pictures are a few of the creatures I've made up. 

PS: the one that looks like a Jelly Bean is a Jellogone (otherwise known as a Jello-brain-gone) :)

These creatures made me squeal out loud when I saw them. See if they don't have the same effect on you. I can't decide if I love the wolf-bird or the crowned barb-tail better. (I don't know their names; I made those up. But I would adopt them if I could.) And the geometric shapes on the dragons are like mosaics! Jubilee, these are just wonderful. Thank you so much. :-)

 

The Black Carriage poem in LATIN

In the words of Andrew Peterson, "This is awesome."One of you wonderful souls sent Andrew an insanely cool and nerdy gift: The Black Carriage poem, translated into Latin.YES.LATIN."Anonymous," let us be friends.

Andrew's birthday was yesterday, and we're having a party! It's not too late to join in, and I know he'd love to see you. :-) Head over to the forum for a bit of cake and celebration!

North! Book Club Kit: Coming Soon

Dear readers, you have been very patient with me. More than a year ago we launched the first Wingfeather Book Club Kit, and what with the Kickstarter and animated series production and other things, I've not been able to work on the second one. But I am working on it this week, and hopefully it'll be ready very soon! As I go through North! Or Be Eaten and plot out what recipes and activities to include, do you have any suggestions or requests? If so, you can comment on this post or on the forum thread. I'd love to hear what sounds fun to you.Thanks!—Madame Sidler

The stories are true.
