Beep!

Everyone I'd like to introduce you to Beep. There is much discussion on what he/ she truly is but there is no denying how awesome Beep is.

There is also no denying that Beep has two heads and some short noodlie legs.

Beep was made for our friend Scott because without him WTS Creature wouldn't be here today.

This is Scott and Beep together at last. Happy birthday Scott.

Right now Beep is one of my favorite creatures! I'm so happy how it turned out that there will definitely be more. Beep might have cousin's or siblings with names like "Boop" and "Brrrring". The sky is the limit!! I don't know but i'm stoked on it. Hooray for Beep!!

We're messing with some new and exciting ideas here at WTS Creatures.
This is an idea that I've had on my mind for a while: luchador pillows!
Introducing "Star Del Face"! I made his head especially large because when it sews up it basically shrinks.
This one has a mustache and crazy beady eyes. To me he turned out more French than Spanish and his head is kinda wonky. I don't mind the wonk but there's a time and a place. Regardless, so far so good.
Making perfectly round pillows is a bit tricky. I'm gonna go some more tweaks and tests before we push this out into the market. Expect more crazy luchador pillows like this. Have fun!
luv Ricardo

Introducing "Yorg"

As with all our little creatures they start out as tiny seeds in our brains. Then the seed blossoms out of our skulls on to paper through our fingers. We pick the fabric, cut the patterns and as they say "the rest is becoming of the history."
This is the newest seed to blossom.



Introducing the first new WTS Creature of 2011: Yorg. He's got a cousin that likes to swim in a lake around Scotland.

late entries and the new year

Its a brand new year and the holidays are finally over. (sigh)

Here are some highlights from the last days of 2010.

My cousin Este and Nicholas with Sumi on Christmas.

My mom with a custom pillow I made with the likenesses of my brothers and I. Notice the smile of happiness which comes with every WTS design ;)

Tomte Craft has a new location at 41st and Tennyson. Before the holidays they had a potluck gift swap with other great crafters. We swapped some glasses from Vital Industries and a handbag from Tutela. It was a great turn out with good food and friendly faces. Tomte Craft has yet to settle in its new home but everything should be tip-top at the beginning of February.

So that's more or less how WTS Creatures did Christmas in 2010. We were truly fortunate to have such great family and friends to share the spirit and cheer of the season with.

As for 2011, we've resolved to bring the world all sorts of new and exciting WTS creatures as well as keep on creating everyone's favorite creatures from 2010. There will be more craft fairs, more creatures and more fun in 2011 ... Stay posted and share in the fun and excitement that is WTS Creatures.
