Mod Livin'
Happy Valentine's Day everybody! What better way to say "I heart you" than with a WTS Creature.
(ahem)
So remember when I was telling you about getting invited into Mod Livin's Denver By Design pop-up store? And how we were building a display for it? No? Yes? Yes. We'll we finished it this past Saturday along with a slew of new creatures and pillows. That night we boldy walked into Mod Livin' and set it all up. Check it out:
Initially we thought we were going to stack the cabinets on top of each other but that all changed when we arrived at Mod Livin'. All the designers were going to be in an upstairs room until the curator decided to put everyone out in the open on the floor.
Ginger and The Strongman just "hanging around>" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (get it?)

The lovely Denise posing well with our sweet display.
The "soft launch" is tomorrow February 15th and there will be a big opening March 12th. Go in and check it all out at Mod Livin' on Colfax. Buy a WTS Creature/ pillow, some furniture and be happy!

A-Team
February 15th marks the opening day of Mod Livin's Denver by Design Pop-Up shop. We are very excited for a such a grand event but there is no time to sit and ponder such glory. Work is begging to be done! And so we invite you to join us on WTS's journey through constructing our first store display:
The WTS Creatures display will consist of two shelving units stacked on each other. It will be about 6 feet tall with a shower rod protruding from the side of the top shelf. We are replacing one side of the shelves with painted plexiglass. The glass will have "windows" in the shape of a "W", "T" and "S" stenciled vertically down the side. Does that make any sense?
Here Denise is scoring the plexiglass so we can break it. Hi-yah!
Then I look awkwardly at the camera before i start drilling the holes for the screws.
Drill. Drill. Drill.
From the shower rod we are hanging 3 baskets which will be filled with stuffies. Denise is making these baskets from resin soaked fabric.
The doctor is ready.
Squish. Squish. Resin. Resin.
This is the bottom part of the shelves. The shelf thats stacks on top of this will have WTS vertically painted in green, yellow and pink.
More to come on this epic build!

Announcements
Hey everybody! We came through on our promise for new designs and excitement for 2011.
I've had the idea to make luchador pillows for a while and now I'm starting to get into it. I did some tweaks on the original idea and they're finally coming together. There will be at least 4 luchador designs with fun names like "Star Del Face" and "El Taco". This is something I'm really excited about and I hope are you too!
"Star Del Face"
These are the Yorg's that we've made so far. They will come in a rainbow of fruity colors.
This is "El Taco" before he gets stuffed.
The other day we went over to Mod Livin' on Colfax and next door at Deluxe Burger there was a squirrel clinging for is dear life! Apparently some douche with his terrier where terrorizing this poor little fellow. It was shaking and too scared to even move. Eventually we coaxed it down and the squirrel slowly walk away down the side walk. We made sure it didn't go into the street.
The reason we were at Mod Livin' is because they invited us to be apart of their pop-up store! We are very please and excited about this! If you've never been to Mod Livin' you really need to go cause they have a lot of really great vintage furniture and design elements for your home. Anyway, there's going to be some building on our part cause we have to come up with a proper display for the show. Right now, as far as we know, the show will have a "soft launch" on February 15th and will run for 3 months.
When we get more details we'll let you know; so be on the look out.
