I love this!

I LOVE this new plush made by Lori Brown.
Lori designed this awesome boston terrier for Detail Gallery in Delaware. The mascot of the gallery is a boston terrier called Mirabelle.
All of Lori's art and plush toys are amazing. If you aren't familiar with Lori Brown, you should definitely check out her blog.

tofu.girl

I love these toys and illustrations from tofu.girl. She is from Gdańsk, Poland and all of her toys are one of a kind.
You can check out her flickr for more photos.
The weather in Winnipeg is very nice today. Finally the snow is starting to melt and the grass is starting to poke through. I'm glad the weather is warming up but I really hate this time of year. Everything is very brown and muddy.

Fun in the snow

The weather this weekend in Winnipeg was very nice so Chris decided to venture outside and take some pictures of our toys.
Here is Neronga from Ultra Man. He looks quite at home in the snow.

The Naruton blends very well into the winter landscape.

Ghostpatrol

Ghostpatrol is a very talented artist originally from Hobart, Australia, who now works and lives in Melbourne. His work ranges from fine ink drawing to graffiti to murals to plush toys.

His drawing style and colour palette remind me a bit of fellow Winnipegger, Marcel Dzama.
Here are some of my favorites....

Toadstool Tea Set

This tea set is so amazing!
It is the type of tea set I could picture little gnomes using...


This tea set was made by Giana Eden from Jesup, Georgia. She uses traditional Japanese throwing techniques, in which each piece is individually formed and trimmed with hand-made tools, dried, glazed, and fired.


The tea set is available exclusively at MAHAR DRYGOODS. This store is definitely worth checking out if you have children. They carry lots of great toys, clothes and accessories for kids.

WAWAYA

WAWAYA toys are designed and created by Ping Yu. Ping is originally from China, but is now working as graphic designer and toy maker in Tokyo, Japan.

The plush toys that Ping makes are both unique and very, very cute. I love the buttons and fabrics that she uses.
