Loveable Cambrian Chordates WIPs

Finished Pikaias

That last post about Impish Santa Mugs makes me aware of the encroaching Christmas season, about as close as I get to feeling Christmasy, even though it's only the middle of October.  What does one do when the Holiday onslaught seems imminent?  The obvious answer is to prepare by making extra pikaia, those loveable Cambrian chordates from the Burgess Shale.  The one on the right is one of last year's crop of pikaia.
