  • Moss Painter

    Energetic, spontaneous, and playful, Frizzle the Mosspainter loves going on adventures with Furber. She’s incredibly creative and imaginative, but she can easily lose her focus. She is quick to take charge and feels emotions very deeply. When she feels sad, she turns into “Drizzle” and her dress turns blue.

    Frizzle first appears in episode two of “Furber and the Mystic Woods”

    Episode 2: Moss Painter

    Frizzle is based on my partner, Liz Lowson. Liz is just as imaginative, creative, and bouncy as Frizzle! Liz writes books about bears (which I illustrate). I highly recommend reading her stories. They are amazing!

    Welcome to the world of “Furber and the Mystic Woods”. A place of magic, humour, and gentle storytelling. Written and illustrated by Daniel Saunders.

    Hi, I’m Daniel, and I have spent the past year crafting ‘Furber and the Mystic Woods’ with the intention of creating a peaceful online sanctuary. This world will always be open for everyone to explore, and my hope is that people may find something healing within these gentle stories.

    Currently, there are 12 episodes (with plenty more on the way!), so pour yourself a cup of tea, relax, and let Furber and his friends guide you into the forest.

    On a final note, I want to make these episodes as accessible as possible. They will always remain free, but if you like what I’m doing, there are many ways you can support me and my art. Please consider sharing this message or making a donation.

    Thank you,

    Daniel
