WTS is Larger Than Life

First things first, Project Hello is this Saturday from noon - 7pm at Redline Gallery. WTS will be there and we hope you will be there too.

With that being said, Here's a little sneak peak at what we've been working on for this year's installment of Project Hello.

We had some 72 sq feet of giant creature pattern printed up and then took it home, traced it onto over 11 yards of fabric, cut it out and pinned it together.

Then we set up our dueling sewing machines and got to work stitching this bad beast together.

Then I (Denise) got clever and decided to wear the skin of our very large creature ... trying to get an idea of what it'd look like stuffed ... with a human. Everyone keeps asking us, "how much stuffing did it take to stuff that thing?" and the answer is, not very much at all. In fact, our giant creature is pretty light weight considering it's size.

We built a chicken wire frame and covered it with 1 inch thick batting ... it feels nice and soft, and yet it's hollow for the most part.

The whole of making a giant creature has been more like constructing a building or performing surgery more than it has been like making a creature, like we usually do. It's not quite finished just yet so if you want to see the finished creature you'll have to come to Project Hello and meet it,and get your picture taken with it, and have a good time.

In other news, WTS Creatures was commissioned to work with artist, Buster Bear, out of Chicago. He submitted the following sketch.

And Ricardo turned out the following WTS+Buster Bear Creature

I'm going to let those photos do the talking (it's pretty great, huh?)
Whereever you may be in the world, keep your eyes peeled for WTS creatures. You never know when they'll start turning up in your neighborhood ... perhaps in the form of a custom creature, or one of our many classic designs ... or maybe A GIANT CREATURE DANCING IN THE STREETS!

Hope to see you all this Saturday at Project Hello. Until then, Goodbye!
