WTS goes to school

 WTS Creatures was made "Artist of the Month" by our art teacher friend Danielle.  Usually she just shows the kids pictures of the monthly artist, gives a little presentation then has the kids do projects centered around the artist.  But we're no ordinary artists of the month!
We visted the kids at school, gave a presentation of what we do, and passed around a few of our creature friends.  They loved it.  Then Danielle blew their minds: telling them that their project was to come up with their own creature!  She told them that their creatures would be judged by us and the best one would be made into a plush creature.  Their jaws dropped and excitement filled the room.  The kids couldn't wait to start!  Below are photos of 5th graders blowing OUR minds with their talented imaginations:

Hard at work.

 Lots of great ideas.

Denise and I were only able to present to one 5th grade class but the contest is for 3rd, 4th and 5th grades.  Each grade will have a winner.  We have been informed that this contest is the talk of the school.  

I can honestly say that this is thee most exciting thing that WTS Creatures has done.  

Thank you Danielle.

2012 is now 2013

Ladies and gentlemen it is no longer 2012 it is 2013!  Where are the flying cars and when can I vacation on the moon or go on a Saturn cruise?!

This year has been crazy:  WTS moved into a house, we came up with some new designs, DIA invited us to be a part of their Colorado Art and Culture exhibit and we made some really great custom creatures.  Our resolution is to try and maintain creating more exciting things and spread the WTS word as much and as consistently as possible.  We are also gonna try to make an actual website to take place of this here blog.  What do you  think about them apples?

Here are photos from the last two shows that we did:  The "Design Within Denver" Trunk Show at the MCA and December's "Neat Market."

The Denver Neat Market was on a cold December day but the sun was shining and so were the smiles:

(I just made that up.  Like Dr. Seuss. BAM!)

Oh!  Hello friends!

And Hello to you too!

This market was completely vegan in that everything being sold, as well as most of the people, were vegan!

This lucky boy got a Finch for the holiday.  It is rumored that he would later get to open this gift on Christmas morning.  A happy customer all the same.

A vegan marshmallow snowman with a chocolate peppermint butt: delicious!

Thanks for all the people that talked to us at the markets we were apart of and to those who bought our creatures.  We really appreciate it and you.

WTS Creature hopes your 2012 ended well and 2013 starts fantastic.

Take care.

Have Fun.
