Hooray for Right NOW!

We’ve also booked almost all our shows for the holiday season. In November we will be doing a first-time appearance at the Abernathy Art Show, while in December we are once again attending our much loved local crafter get together, Crafty Wonderland, AND we will be making a first-time appearance at Urban Craft Uprising in Seattle. The exact dates and times will pop up on our shows page once we get all that information together.

What it all amounts to is “Crap, we’re busy!”

Hooray for “Crap, we’re busy!”

A definite high point of the show was that we did our first ever radio interview. It was only about five minutes long, but we got to talk about what it’s like to be doll makers on a daily basis, our thoughts about art and a bit about our plush making process. The interview was for the weekly show Convention Crashers on pdx.fm and airs today at 3p.m. After that, the show will be available in podcast form on the iTunes store.

As always Crafty was great (thank you Cathy and Tori), and we are eagerly looking forward to their Super Colossal Holiday show in December. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us. And a huge thanks to Jolby for their ongoing support of what we do and who we are.

Hello, hello! These are some of the pieces we recently finished for the wonder-duo, Jolby! The dolls are based on the lovely illustrations of Colby Nichols and Josh Kenyon. We are so stoked to have been a  part of this awesome collaboration, Home is Where You Make It, taking place at Subtext Gallery in San Diego, CA. The show is running for the next month, so if you find yourself in sunny San Diego, drop on in and make yourself at home.

Here are some of the fabulous prints you can see at the show. On the left is Danny, the grandfather, and William on the right, grandson. There is a wonderful story behind this show, very sweet.

The final journey for Danny, as wonderfully illustrated here. Being a part of this show has been a wonderful experience. Working with Josh and Colby has been great fun, they are a great team, and fabulous artists! We hope to have more opportunities to work with them in the future, and wish them the very best on their first solo show.

This is the postcard for the upcoming Solstice Arts and Crafts Market that we will be participating in on December 20. We did this show last year, and we had a great time and met a lot of very creative individuals (you know who you are). We are looking forward to an equally fantastic and busy time this year as well.

This show will also represent the completion of year one of the Dolls for friends project. We are amazed that it has only been 365 days since we really started our little plush/art endeavor. We have met so many great people, participated in some great shows (sell and gallery) and had a great time transitioning our sketchbooks to a 3-D environment. We have some amazing projects in the works for next year (more to come on that front),and we are really looking forward to seeing what year two will bring.
