Seahorse!

Hot off the sewing machine! I'll have a few different colors available at this weekend's Greenway Open Market (Saturday 11-5) and SoWa Open Market (Sunday 10-4) in Boston.

May 2012 Desktop Wallpaper Calendar

Our May 2012 Free Desktop Wallpaper Calendar features our latest plush design: The Zooguu Manta Ray! We will be bringing the first few rays to the opening day of the SoWa Open Market (Yankee Magazine's vote for best outdoor shopping in New England!!) on May 6. They will be available to order online later on this month, or by dropping us a line to request one.

For now, you can download the desktop wallpaper calendar for free on our Free Stuff page.

Renegade Preview 2 of 2 - Dinosaurs!

They're finally here! I've been dreaming about making jointed dinosaurs for a while now, and of course I have to choose one of the busiest times to try out a new design. I think it might be all of the creative energy flowing here in the studio and the excitement building around another Renegade Craft Fair. If you're in Brooklyn this weekend, come by Booth #22 to be the first to check out these new T-Rex toys! There will be a couple of other color combinations as well.

They Stand!

And they sit, too!

Venusta Orchard Spider Plush

We've been in production mode for the last few days, building up our stock for future fairs, new stores and yes, the holiday season. In the spirit of keeping creative, I decided to take some time to create something new and different. We've been spotting lots of interesting looking spiders around our new home, and I decided to make a (much larger) plush version of one of the prettiest we've seen. It's a Venusta Orchard Spider, and it's got amazing green and yellow coloring with brilliant orange markings. It's completey harmless, and we're glad it's around to eat insects. For a sense of scale, the front legs are 14" long, and he seems pretty comfortable hanging out in a tree. Enjoy!

Tiger!

We just recently finished a custom tiger design for a long time customer.

I love the way the nose turned out, and I think I may use something similar for our upcoming fox design.
