Stubby, the Pup

Stubby has stubby legs--it's just how it is. But that bright, eager face is what really draws you in, with those inquisitive eyes and slightly wonky ears.

He embodies the kind of awkward puppy cuteness you can't help but love. And as an added bonus, this pup offers secret storage in the old battery compartment. Portable and adorable!

Reassembled using a vintage Big Beam flashlight, clock parts face, measuring spoon ears, candle socket feet, and a car window handle tail.

Robo Pet

This is the first of two commissioned pieces for a great customer. Meet Iyla.

New Beginnings

After a month of broken-foot-ititus, I conquered the stairs (by sliding down them like a toddler) and made it to the workshop a couple nights ago. I promptly doused everything in super-killing spider spray, as I have had numerous dreams of spiders taking over and inhabiting every inch of my workspace, patiently waiting to capture me like the Lilliputs captured Gulliver.

Today, I actually made it down there to work.  And, by work, I mean play.  I plugged in the drill press and drilled holes randomly.  Ah, the sweet sound of high-powered machinery!

Once the initial euphoria wore off, I finally started on a custom order I received several weeks ago.  I bent things and drilled things and attached aluminum knives to a pepper shaker.  It was magical.

Although I didn't last as long as I'd like, I feel good. Good enough to mostly ignore the not-so-subtle throbbing of my foot. It's a brave new world.

Big Red the Second

Heading to Florida later today!

Let There Be Doggies!

 

 

Bon Appetit!

Inspired by Under the Table's grand opening this weekend.

Miss Daisy

You don't have to drive this petite pup around, but she certainly doesn't mind if you do. As an Italian Bothound, Daisy has a sweet spirit . . . and super skinny legs.  Those adoring eyes are eclipsed only by her robot dog collar.

Rescued and reassembled for the most devoted Dog Rescuer ever, my friend Sarah.  Miss Daisy has a vintage cookie press body, typewriter hammer legs, shot glass head, vegetable steamer ears, knob nose, clock part eyes, clock spring tail, and recycled dog collar.

Essential Goods

A few of my robots made their way to a shop in Lawrence, KS today: Essential Goods.  Here's hoping these bots find great homes!

Salty

The 1" cube puppy with storage . . . tiny storage.
