KOOKY full of Tylers Poncho

Morning! We just drove back and forth from chicago last night- delivering our kooky goods.

Five Tylers Poncho will be delighting or frightening the customers of the Shops at North Bridge in the Nordstrom's building on Michigan Ave in Chicago, along with the Lengi Bears, Double Bears, and Baby Bunnies.

And don't forget that Queen of Hearts in Providence is having their grand re-opening next week! Look for the "king" poncho here! (so named since he's a bit larger than the original Tyler.)

Here are some pictures of the setup -- I'll be dropping by again in a week or so and we'll have pics of the full setup!












We'll see if I have time to update my Etsy shop with replicas of any of these animals...but just request if you want to purchase anything via Etsy.

quick as a bunny

Things are moving so quickly!

I was asked 2 weeks ago to join KOOKY, opening March 1st on Michigan Ave in Chicago, so I've been rushing to get everything together! I'm the only toymaker, and it's in an uber-fancy location.

I'm waiting for materials to get back from the printer, and I've finished a box full of aminals already! It's all exciting and fun!

Available at Kooky will be: Large Tylers Poncho, Lengi Bears, Double Bears, Giraffels, Baby Bunnies, and Chuck Bears.



Today I designed a set of icons representing all the types of toys I make:


See them rollover all fancy and reveal their names here


And if this isn't all ready enough, this is my last semester of college, and I'm trying to get together a portfolio and finish my last classes. =/
