White Death is Here

Snow, Snow, Snow, all day long...and blizzard warnings for tonight.

Well,
Sorry for the lasp in updates, but it was spring cleaning week around the studio. We got alot done, not only does the entire house smell like Pine-sol but we have some great new products to offer!

We secured a deal with two really great up and coming local artist to do custom paintings of our pictures. They both are very nice, and extremely talented. I'll drop a link to their site here. Make sure you go and check their work, especially the links to their personal gallery on the about me page of their site.

The book also came in this week! It was the best 12 bucks I ever spent. It has great directions, and a wonderful storybook like set up to introduce new animals. If you are into this sort of thing it really is worth it.
We have made so many of them that we had to find space around the studio for them. We found a nice home for everyone in a prop tree in the camera room. Cassie has deemed it "The Club House", it's really working out I think. Pictures of our new friends will go up in the next post I think.

I also think learning to sew is coming along, Grandma came over and showed me how to use Cassie's twelve dollar pink sewing machine. It's nothing too great, and very small but works good for me. I have affectionaly named it "The Pink Monster", on account of it breaking ALL THE TIME!

That brings me to my new and most favorite bit a news. Just like I produce my photography in series I think I'm starting to bend that over into all of my work.

These little creatures don't have a name or a story yet, but the powers that be are working on that. They will have a more proper introduction in a couple of days after I work all the bugs out of their background but here are some pictures.




















They are definitely toys, and always ready to play.

If you would like something from this series, I could be bribed into making one for you I think. It would only cost you a small box of Cadbury Eggs, you know the ones with four eggs in them. No two are alike, and they are totally worth the trade!



In closing, I love Cadbury Creme Eggs and my count is up to eight now. That is, I have had eight so far this year.

Here's to hoping that count will go up soon!

I guess your childhood "Scrap box" has paid off. Your little guys are really cute.
