ROBOTS IN THE GARDEN



Except for the boxes these guys are completely done. If you remember the Space Man Robot I did a while back, he came with a box.
I love this time of year because I can get some good shots outside in great light. Plus everything is so nice and green right now. I'm working on three more robots right now. I don't have a goal as to how many I'm making. I'm just going to keep going till I get bored. I think some robots will be making it to one of the Plush You! shows this year. Once I feel I'm tired of working on robots I'll start working on the boxes. There's a lot of math and cutting involved and that really requires a whole different mind set, so it's best I do them all at once. Though I realize it will take a while to do them all.

GEARING UP FOR CRAMMED ORGANISM


I had some cards made up for the shows that I'm getting ready to send to Cranky Yellow. There's a sticker on the back with all my info. I haven't done these in the past but I think I'll start doing them now that I've got a few shows coming up this year.
I'll be at Star Clipper Comics on Sat. June 6 for the opening night of the show. So if anyone is going and liked to say hi just track me down.

ROBOT SKETCHES


I just started working on some more robot plushies. Here are the sketches of some of them. They'll range in size from about 10 to 15" tall. I made one robot guy back in the end of February. Just like him these will have boxes, which actually take a litte while to construct.

BACKSIDES



Thanks to Jhoanna for inquiring about what they look like from the back. I never think about taking pictures of the back of my pieces. But I guess since these are so three dimensional I should have. I just took some quick pics of the backs. I didn't feel like dragging out my backdrop and tripod and all, so they're not real professional, but you get the idea.

HANSEL AND GRETEL


Finally..it only took me 2 1/2 months to finish him. I wasn't procrastinating I just found I had other projects that had to get done first plus throwing a baby into the mix shakes things up a bit. But he's done and I think they look good together. Eventually I'd like to make the witch to go with them. I also want to make a stand so they can stand on their own better.
They measure exactly 16" tall and their heads are 8" wide.
