Spring is in the air!

OHMAGOODNESS!
It has been way too long since we've updated you on the happenings. A million apologies!

WTS Creatures will be in Mod Livin' until May 15th. If you haven't been there to check out our sweet display Get Into it! Also, Tomte Craft on 41st and Tennyson is another great place to find our wares. That shop is rad and you should go.

Recently Denise moved into a new apartment so WTS Creatures as been uprooted and re-rooted. This is part of the reason we've been quiet on the blog front. Now that the dust has settled we're gonna start the machines a runnin'. Expect some great new things!

In other news: Denver Art Week is on May 12 - 15 . WTS Creatures is participating in the launch party, on May 12th, with a new "product". The party is gonna be in the new Spire building in downtown Denver. This is going to be a very exciting event! There will be a lot of interesting and artistic things to see and do so don't miss out! We'll be giving hints as to what the new product is but don't be surprised at how wonky and awesome its going to be. Ha!

Have fun!

Denver By Design

Last Saturday was the opening of Denver By Design's pop-up store at Mod Livin'. It was a magical night with lottsa of good people, good friends and cup cakes.

This is the DJ and cupcakes. The cup cakes were spinnin' some heavy beats and the DJ just kinda stood there.
MMMMMMMM Cupcakes! MMMMMMMMMMM!
I ate one!
I believe this is Anya and Jackson: two of WTS Creatures newest and biggest fans! They couldn't get enough of the our display. It was great. Jackson, the kind brother, bought himself and his sister LockJaws. Awwwww right? So nice!
Peoples.
The packed house. All the designers, including yours truly, had to tell everyone about themselves and their designs. It was a bit nerve wrecking but apparently we did good. With the help of Jackson and Anya modeling their LockJaws, we pulled it off.
The fashion show inspired by Mod Livin's furniture.
The evening went off very well. We met new people and made new fans. It was a great night. There was a very eclectic mix of designs: from furniture to photography, jewelry, drawings, fashion and, of course, plushies. The Denver By Design pop-up shop will be up until May, I believe. If you get a chance you should definitely check it out.

Can You Feel The Excitment In The Air?

If you've been following us over the last month, you may have noticed that we have been hard at work building a new display, installing it and loading it up with creatures over at Mod Livin', located at 5327 E. Colfax Ave. Denver, CO 80220.

You may have asked yourself, why haven't more furniture stores started selling WTS Creatures? The answer is: Mod Livin' isn't just any furniture store, from now through May Denver By Design has a shop that has "Popped Up" right in the middle of the showroom floor.

Brace yourself cause this next part will probably knock your socks right off. This upcoming Saturday, March 12th, From 6-9 pm WTS Creatures and all of the other fantastic creators that are part of Denver By Design, along with the folks at Mod Livin', will be having a "Grand Opening" kick off party. We sure hope to see you all there!!

Get to Mod Livin' this Saturday and check out some of the new WTS Creatures, like Finch, Star Del Face and the designer Sumi Pillows and of course some of the WTS Creatures regulars.

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.


Detail shot of Sumi and Finch..
Ginger and The Strongman just "hanging around>" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (get it?)
Detail of the opposite side.
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!
