Amazing Mascot Creations

Such creative juices must flow while the creators of these Olympic mascots begin their work of art. 

Jing Jing, Sumi, Sochi, Miga, Gliz, Hodori, such fun names! 

Olly the kind Kookaburra from Australia, Sam the eagle who danced into our hearts, Izzy the Olympic spirit with stars for eyes and Cobi the stylized Catalan sheepdog...I can still see his huge balloonish body disappearing in the sky above closing ceremony.  Amazing how so many who grew to love him so much so that sad sayonara tears fell from their eyes.

Amazing creations.  Amazing art.  Amazing creators.
