I've gone Batty!

I have many new wood toy projects in the works. With Halloween around the corner, I couldn't help but be inspired to make this batty guy. He's a whopping 14" high with an 18" wing span! I decided to be a little more advanced in my wood working this time round by using dowels, so everything can rotate and be disassembled or replaced at will. I used black stain and acrylics to help bring him to life.

For those that weren't able to make it to the San Diego Comic Convention, here is a short video of what Scott Tolleson and my booth looked like. Video courtesy of Toy Break.

Morsels Progress update #3

The girls are coming along nicely. Still in the painting stages, but should be wrapped up and ready to go for next weeks San Diego Comic Con.

And a special thanks to Andy of Toysrevil for this video.

Comic con here we come.

Here are some photos of the wood toys I made and will have on hand for Comic-con this year. All stand about 6 inches tall and will come with an adoption certificate from the Superham Wood Shop. If you are at comic con, please stop by booth #4633 to say hello and see them in person. Pricing to be determined later....just wanted to give a little preview. Any left over after the con will go up for sale on my webstore.

Morsels progress update #2

Julie just sent me some more progress photos of the Morsels being painted. It's quite the undertaking and every photo makes me realize all the work that is truly involved. The plate of heads and diving girls are funny to me. Looks kind of like we have a creepy new serial killer in town.

Morsels progress

Here are some progress photos Julie B sent me of how the Morsel girls are coming along. She is doing such an amazing job with them. She is dedicated to her craft and all her painstaking time and effort is really paying off. I can't thank Julie enough for helping me finally make these delicious ladies happen. Some info...there are 25 total being made with 5 different colorways . I am being greedy and keeping one of each for myself, so there will be 4 of each up for grabs. I hope to have them in time for the San Diego Comic Convention, but if not they will be up for sale soon after. I'll update soon with more progress shots and information soon!

DIY Bass Wood Toy

I'm testing out the DIY world with my first do-it-yourself bass wood toy I call Itty Bitty. Itty Bitty will come unassembled for easier painting and multiple head variations. There are 3 different tails to choose from too!

I will be putting two Itty Bitty's up for sale for $60 each at my web store this Friday May 8th at 10 am mountain standard time. First come first serve. If there seems to be a demand, I will make more to be sold at a later date. Shipping to be $5 within the United States.

Other items in my webstore will be nicely discounted on May 8th as well, so if you don't have yourself a Carrot Shake Jake or some Haminal keychains, this will be the time!

Let me know what you think, or any suggestions you may have.
