Soap Opera Softie Zzzzzzip the Turtle

Sock Monkeys are the forefathers of these little Soap Opera Softies. My modern version are little dolls that are OOAK and made of new socks, buttons and trims and scraps that a mother might have found in
her sewing in order to create a playpal character for her child. Little Zzzzzip the Turtle is just one of those characters. He has a hangtag that comes with the story of his dreams. Zzzzzip the Turtle has decided to train for the local marathon. He ditched his turtle shell and donned racing silks and a stunning orange striped Speedo. He's not only lighter on his feet, but is a flashy icon to the local paparazzi's delight. He can be heard singing Lady Ga-Ga's song as he dashes along: "Got my flash on, it's true. Need that picture of you .... It's so magical ..."

Zzzzzip would love to come nestle with you in a favorite reading chair or corner of your room, share a book or a cup of tea and some treats or just brighten a corner of your room. He promises to bring smiles and you might even catch a wink or two if you are quick enough. His bright colors bring lots of love.

Zzzzzip loves kids but is a finely honed athelete and does not do well in rough play. He is a one-of-a-kind doll and character but not well-suited for young children because of small trims and buttons.
