Soooo much work has been done!

So, for the past few weeks we have done a lot of planning for the etsy and we started creating some stock. Rose intends to have around 10 items upon start-up. I am really excited about some of the prototypes, but I need to get around to writing down patterns for all the things we've made so that we can replicate them if/when we need to. Pattern writing is a skill that I am very lucky I have, because otherwise replication of these original designs would be torture, or impossible. Anyway, next week Rose is showing me how to screen print on fabric! She's going to sell some screen printing if they turn out very well. :D

Prototypes Update

Currently working on making test amigurumi/sewn doll types. Figuring out our brand's basic size and shapes for the basic people template, and the general look of our other creatures. We've decided to start out with 5 different toy types just at the beginning (to make sure we don't go to overboard) be expecting to see Snowmen + Gingerbread men, Pirates + Ninjas, Unusual animals (like armadillos, and narwhals), and a couple others.... We'll try to post some pictures soon!

I've already made a snowman, complete with mini top-hat and scarf but I haven't decided on how I should do the stick-like arms. And played around with making some food amigurumi, made a pretty nice looking fried egg. I'll post some pictures when I feel there more done
