Trading Funbots
It’s Quilt Market prep time around here, hence the radio silence. I was asked to design some stuffed robots based on Ann Kelle’s new Funbots… (click over to see the line, then check out D and my robot: pipe-cleaners for hands means he can hold things! this 6 year old boy is VERY happy with my test-robot. He didn’t like my suggestion that it be a pincushion/seam-ripper holder. He disappeared for a few minutes, and came back with this: it’s a Seam ripper & pin Holder *Made by Darren* I don’t think I will use...

I’m making some robot toys for the Robert Kaufman spring quilt market booth. They’re completely inspired by Ann Kelle’s Funbot fabric. And BOY ARE THEY FUN!

Peter is up first… I read about this Eraser Clay on Remarkably Domestic, and my kiddos love those weird little erasers, so I thought this clay would be fun for them. I made this Peter Pan (with a pink feather, because red isn’t an option) at D’s request. You can see the crayons in the background for some idea of scale. he’s quite small. clearly I need more practice, but he’s pretty cute, if I do say so myself. haven’t tested the erasing quality yet. but that’s ok. I also made this on tuesday: isn’t he cute?!?!?! I totally...
