Whoa! Long time no see. Things have been all sorts of crazy in the world of WTS Creatures. You may or may not have notice that our Etsy store is on "vacation". Currently we have all of our stock in actual stores:
Tomte Craft, a pop-up shop in Stapleton and
Mod Livin(but only till this weekend!). Denise and I are in the midst of creating more of your favorite plushies so we can get the Etsy store back up and running. We are also unveiling a new line of creatures! But I'll get into that a little later.
The craft season is upon us and we're waiting to hear back from a couple art/ craft fairs still. Hopefully we can get out there so we can see all your happy smiling faces!
This past Saturday was a beautiful warm Denver day. The perfect day to go visit our friends at Tomte Craft! Crystal and Beth showed off the new dye printed shirts they're making which are very cool and very limited. We talked world travels, crafts and the crazy things you can find in rural America.
From Tomte we head over to the this:
This was the first
Horseshoe Market of the season. The next one is in August. WTS Creatures will be doing it in October. Brett from Tomte Craft/ Vital Industries was there as well as a lot of other familiar faces. Familiar faces like Roxanne from
Paisley Bird! We hadn't seen her since Christmas time so it was nice to catch up. Check out her sweet hand fired glass jewelry and night lights.
Jennifer Ghormley(below right) was also there. We hadn't seen her since the Winter months either. Horseshoe was like a reunion of sorts. It was great! From the looks of this picture you'd never guess that it was 85 degrees out...you know?........cause they're so cool.....Right? Right? Anyway. Make sure you check out the next Horseshoe Market on August 6th.
So I'm pretty sure I mentioned this in the last post from way back in April but WTS Creatures are stepping into the pet toy arena! Dog and cat toys will be added to the list of plushie wares we create and you better believe they're true to WTS style.
From top to bottom: StarChild, Uno and Sugar. Made with durable, washable materials, triple stitched at the seems and have a squeeker inside for dog to be entertained eternally! The unveiling of these new toys will be this Thursday, May 12 at the launch of
Create Denver Week. From 7pm-10pm at the Spire Building come hang out with us and other creatives as they also unleash their new wares at the Opening Night Celebration of New Ideas! This event is to introduce our new things to the public so we won't be selling our toys per say. There is going to be a lot of awesome and creative things going on this weekend so GET INTO IT.
And thats not all, later this summer WTS Creatures is going to be "teaching" a Plush Creatures 101 "class" at the S
UPER OUT OF THE ORDINARY KIDS SUMMER WERKSHOPS! Tran Wills of
Fabric Lab and
Super Ordinary Gallery fame, asked us to be a part of this awesome endeavor. Thanks Tran! We are very excited about this.
If you live in Denver please come visit us at the Spire Building this Thursday and Friday! Plus follow the links of our creatively inspiration friends.
And remember: Have FUN!
Ah, The "WTS Cubby-Comb". Where to begin? Well, its made from only the finest cardboard concrete tubing mold and lovingly spray painted with only the finest colors. Everything is held together with shiny wing nuts, washers and bolts. A lot of people were asking us about it and that is no lie. The "Cubby-Comb" needs a little fine tuning but its function and appeal are straight A's. WTS might become cardboard cabinet makers yet!
Come see us next weekend: October 1st, at the Horseshoe Handmade Market to gaze upon the new "WTS Cubby-Comb" and to say Hi. Its the last Horseshoe of the season so come on out!
