Chris and I bought a Gocco!!!

It just arrived in the mail yesterday and we have already tried it out. I am really excited to have it. I hope that we are able to do lots of different prints with it.
The machine is really easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to make prints quickly and easily.

Here are the first prints that we made yesterday. They are titled "Bonhommes". The print is an edition of 25 on the white paper and it is an edition of 15 on the brown paper.

These prints will be available in the Grumble Toy shop very soon. Check out the Grumble Toy blog for shop updates.

I couldn't resist

Well what can I say.....I love buying myself presents.
I felt like buying myself something today and couldn't resist this little guy from wawaya. I have blogged about their toys before and think that they are so cute!
It was only $20.....so I thought, what the hey.

All done!!!

Ah, I am finally done school and now I can relax.
Now I can do some more sewing and hone up on my Nintendo skills......and of course look for a job.

I am very excited that one of my presents for graduation will be a Takiyaje doll! Her dolls are so beautiful, I can't wait.

I have already done a little bit of sewing myself. I don't have any pictures of what I made but will try to take some today.

Almost done!

Next Thursday I will be completed all of my exams. I am so excited.
This is my last year of University, so that means I will be done for good.
I really can't wait.

Mum - "They Made Frogs Smoke 'Til They Exploded"

This video was introduced to me by our friend Devon awhile ago. I don't know much about it but I really love it.
It is so wacky....in a good way. So I just thought I would share it.

Wormrah!

Wormrah is finally complete and will be released on April 19th, 2008. I think that Chris did a great job painting him!
We are really happy with how he turned out and hope that we can make more toys soon. ^ - ^

Check out the Grumble Toy blog for more info.

Tijit

Our very good friends Curtis and Devon just finished setting up an Etsy shop this weekend. Their shop showcases the cool hand silk-screened shirts that they make.
All of their shirts are original designs that they created.
Show some Manitoba pride with one of their (204) designs.

You can find their etsy shop here.
It is worth checking out!

Wormrah Teaser

In this photo I am trimming the excess vinyl off of Wormrah's articulation point.

Wormrah is the very first toy that we designed to be produced. He was sculpted by Amapro. Both Chris and I are very excited about the whole process.

As I write this, Chris is busy working on the colour scheme and will be painting them all very soon!

Wormrah has arrived in Canada!

The toy that Chris and I designed just arrived at our doorstep last night. We are both really excited and very happy with how it turned out.
Both of us have been busy trimming all of the excess vinyl off the articulation and assembling the figures. I will put some pictures up very soon of the process and the final result.
Now we just have to figure out the colour scheme that we will paint them in. :)
