Who the heck customs a dog toy???... Apparently me.



I was at the a pet store recently with Butters to find him a good brush because he has been shedding like crazy lately! While in the dog toy isle I came across these "Bad/Good Cuz". I had seen these toys before when I worked in a kennel as a vet assistant, but hadn't given them much thought. For some reason they caught my eye and I thought "I need to paint those!" Vinyls, vinyl right? So I bought a few (They were actually pretty cheap. Depending upon size between $3-$10) After screwing up the 1st and a little more trial and error you can see what I came up with below. I found the surface to be kinda tacky. I had to wash them off twice before I could get the paint to really stick. I add some additional parts modeled out of polymer clay (Much like you would a munny) All in all these were pretty fun. I may make more in the future.

Som of my Favorite Custom Orders to date

I began taking custom orders in early December of last year. The 1st couple I got were kinda plain, but lately people that have been contacting me for customs have been coming up with some great concepts that were a lot of fun to make. I figured I'd share a few of them here.

Alice? ... The Alice?

I recently posted pictures of a few Alice in Wonderland figures I had been working on. I decided to do one more. I give you "The Cheshire Robot." It was fun trying to make a cat but still keep it robot looking...if that makes any sense???. Also many people ha told me the Alice robot would look better with hair...So I gave her some hair! lol.

Stay tuned for new Robots coming soon!

Cute New Robot for my display


I just bought this little guy to put on my table to greet people during craft shows and conventions.He hasn't been delivered yet but I'm already excited! He's "The Bot-ster" from Hasbro/tiger electronics. They were released in 2002 as part of the Robo-Chi series. I have been looking for one for a very long time as they are no longer in production. Luckily this weekend I found one on ebay brand new still in it's original box for $10 + shipping. He talks, sings, moves his arms and legs, and changes his facial expressions. I think he will be a great addition to may display.

"We're All Mad Here"

So this past week I had some extra time so I decided to work on some more movie themed robots and to test out a new type of clay that I bought. I'm not too pleased with it. It was too soft and oily. It also didn't hold shape too well. Anyways With the release of the remake of Alice in Wonderland quickly approaching, it seemed like the obvious choice. I like the way the Mad Hatter turned out, but I'm thinking of remaking Alice. Tell me what you think (:

Mad Hatter Robot



Alice in Wonderland Robot


The following robot has nothing to do with Alice in Wonderland. I decided to make him after seeing the trailer for the movie Cop Out for the millionth time on TV.

FBI Robot
