Sweet William Market

Sweet William Market was this past Saturday and it was a beautiful day. Held in Stapleton, It seems we really lucked out with the weather. The previous markets fell on some swelteringly hot days.

The day was a bit slow but we met some good people and the creatures were played with by packs of rabidly fun children on numerous occasions. Good times. Now on to the pictures.

Here is a great shot of Denise modeling in our new tent set up. Notice the keen handmade "WTS" banner thwarting the suns rays behind her. Although you can not tell in this picture, the table display, to the left, sports some fancy baskets "overflowing" with Sumis and LockJaws. Plus the "WTS Tower" is look particularly smashing. The "piece de resistance" is the brand new "WTS Cubby-Comb", (I just made that name up..right now)! Let's go in for a closer look.

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!

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!

Project Hello and George Raccoony

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you the one and only George Raccoony, "The one who rubs, scrubs and scratches with its hands" the new WTS creatures mascot. We enjoy watching him dig for worms and scurry about in the backyard ... although we haven't seen him around lately. I think he's off to his summer home in France.
In other news, we here at WTS creatures are, as always, feverishly working round the clock to create the best creatures in all the land. Here's some insight into our process.

We trace and cut out patterns for our fanciful creatures. Ricardo, seen above, is working on "The Strong Man"
Once we have a plethora of patterns traced and cut out of a variety of soft and fluffy fabrics its time to sew them up and get them stuffed.

That's Ricardo again risking his delicate phalanges getting right up next to the perilously sharp needle of the sewing machine and stitching away.

So Sharp .... And Deadly!!

Another WTS creature almost complete. "The strong man" now awaits a bit of fluff and some closure.

Next Saturday, May 8th 2010, Project Hello, WTS creatures is representing!! And if I don't say so myself, it's just in time for Mother's Day. What mom wouldn't want a WTS creature for her very own? Exactly! Hope to see you all there.
