New Items!

If you haven't checked out the Sleepy Robot 13 Shop in a while there are a few new bots fresh off the assembly line!








Check back in the next week as tons of new robot buddies are added!

Unfortunately to make room for new bots, we have to say goodbye to some old friends. Check the last chance/discontinued section of the Sleepy Robot 13 shop for items that will soon be no longer available. Once they're gone they're gone!

Crafty Advice Youtube Channel anyone? Send me your questions!

Hi guys sorry for the lack of updates lately. I've been busy preparing for craft shows and making wedding cake toppers. I hope to next month put together a post to show you all of the custom toppers I've made this summer in a special wedding segment. I've also been working on putting together a youtube channel where I can put up video containing crafting/small business advice. The main reason I wanted to start the channel was to answer all the questions you guys have been emailing me. I will still continue to post selling tips and advice here, but I figured that somethings make more since when you see them. As soon as the channel is finished I will post a link here, but in the mean time I would love it if you guys would submit questions for me to answer in my videos. Please send your questions to lisastarchild@yahoo.com. Also as soon as I get the software working correctly I plan on posting short animated web comics featuring many of my Sleepy robots. I'll keep you updated!

Quick Update and some photos

I've been super busy lately, juggling craft shows, art shows, orders, custom orders and making huge quantities of robots to send out to charity and promotion events. Since everything has been so nuts lately I decided not to take any more custom orders until the end of May. This was a hard decision because I LOVE doing custom orders. The ideas people submit are just amazing! Other than being busy I don't really have any new news to report. Below I have attached a few photos of the massive amount of robots I made to send out to a private charity event and the loopsandpluto.com clothing party for their swag bags. Later!

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!

Sleepy Robot 13 on G4TV

So it was brought to my attention today by sakiwaki that you could see my Super hero robot for a brief second during an episode of "Attack Of The Show" which airs on cable channel G4Tv. Unfortunately I haven't had cable in 3 years, so I missed it ):

G4TV did an entire segment on Etsy (well mostly about the etsy shop "thechopshopstore")None the less it's awesome that one of my items made it's way onto tv even if it was only for a split second. G4 has since posted the segment on their website. You can view the video below:

UpStage Artisan Alley Pics

I thought I'd share some photos of my booth at the Upstage Artisan Alley show this past weekend. For it's first year it was a great show for a great cause. If anyone has the chance they should definitely check it out next year. This is actually a smaller set up for me. I decided not to take as much jewelry with me and I usually have a second smaller table of one of a kind figurines. I also had a backdrop to put up but there wasn't enough room for it. I was a little bummed because I ordered a new vinyl banner for my booth but it didn't arrive in time. i ended up making one by hand out of poster board.

Zombie Toast(V2)

So the new Zombie Toast figure goes on sale today at 11Am and I am really excited. The response I've gotten so far has been really great and I just can't wait to get him out there. He'll be available in for sale Here for only $13. Only 15 will be for sale now. I haven't yet decided if our when I will begin to take pre-orders for a 2nd batch. Keep checking back for updates.
