Pre-Show Week

I'm doing one of my very few art shows this coming weekend, and my house / workshop / kids are feeling the stress.

At least I have new jewelry cards!

Day 292 - Utter Exhaustion

Post-show exhaustion.  Even Norman feels it.

Day 291 - What's the Story behind that Bot?

With a show tomorrow, I've been writing the bios (stories) for some of my new robots. 

Chip

 

Chip’s a little bot, but he’s got a BIG heart.  He’s into championing causes and standing up for the underdog.  Today, his platform is saving innocent robots from landfills, tomorrow who knows?  Let him give your latest cause a voice.  Choose Chip!

Miss Maci

For Miss Maci, the Boston Tea Party was actually all about tea.  Taxes or no taxes, as a refined lady bot, she’s unwilling to let tea time pass by unnoticed.

Is it time for you to set sail on her robot seas?  Feel free to stow some secrets away in her canister body, and make sure you enjoy a spot ‘o tea along the way.

Annabelle

The rumors are true, Annabelle is a morning person, but don’t hold it against her.  She knows not everyone is.  Her quiet cheerfulness is complimented by her slightly oversized cup (because she knows some people need a little extra caffeine to get going).

Store tea bags, sugar packets, or secret treasure in her body, and let the soothing tick-tock of her working alarm clock head be the rhythm of your mornings.  

Scooter

 

Sleek and silver, Scooter is intent on being taken more seriously.  Sure, he has a sifter head (that clicks and clacks when squeezed), but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have feelings, too.

Scooter is ready to face the world with a canister-ful of responsibility.  That’s why he insisted on the Memo Holder addition.  Never fear, your important notes will never be lost with Scooter near.

Are you the one—the one who’s ready to give Scooter a chance to show the world what he’s made of?  I think you just might be.

Pinky

 

Pinky is a bit on the smaller side, but what does she care?  Cuteness often comes in the smallest packages, and no one can deny her intrinsic cuteness. So if you’ve been looking for a delicate little pup who’s also easy on the eyes, Pinky’s the one for you.  

Day 273 - Norman Makes the Cut

Getting new business cards, just in time for the May show.  Took me a little bit to decide if I wanted to get the usual "boring" cards of before or branch out a little.  In the end, it wasn't too hard of a decision--it's time to share Norman with the world.

Day 209 - Going to Florida

With a few frantic final touches, these beauties are headed for a show in Florida, thanks to Cheri Kudja.

 I couldn't very well let them go without a few "story" shots.

"This was when music was music!"

"Your dog is beautiful. I see he takes after his owner."

The abnormally-large bird eyed Norman hungrily.

Norman stared at the ground, unsure of what to say to such a pretty girl.  Having an attentive audience wasn't helping.

"They never let poor Norman join in any robot games."

Day 205 - Bitty Bot Production

Some new Bitty Bots are coming to a show near you . . . if you live in Miami.

Day 95 - Jingle Bots

Last minute touches to my new Robot Ornaments.  Maple Leaf Festival, here I come.  Robot World Domination will be mine!

*These little bots are made from 1 1/2" tall vintage salt and pepper shakers.
