DIY Robots

So I've gotten several emails recently that a lot of you want me to make the blank DIY robots available again. Well you got your wish! I have made available again in my Etsy shop a few of my blank robots and I lowered the price! You can now get them for only $5.50. I have also dedicated a section of Sleepyrobot13.com to photos sent in of finished bots (it can be found here.) Below you will find a few pictures of photos that have already been sent in.

Pizza Love!

Today my little Pizza Robot was featured on the Tilt Treasures blog. I love the the title of the feature "Pizza...ok,so I was hungry..." Along with my robot she featured other amazing pizza themed items by other great Etsy sellers. I would also advise checking out the blog owners Etsy Shop "TiLT creations". There you will find several unique and lovely bags, purses, clutches, back packs and pouches!

Free Robots!!! & A Contest!

So earlier this week I gave away 5 free D.I.Y robots on the Kid Robot forum with only one catch, the 5 people that got them have to custom them and send me photos. I can't wait to see how they turn out!

Robot Idea Contest:

Starting now until this Friday 01/08/10 I will be accepting new idea submissions for robots. This could be a theme (ie, love, valentine's day, music, art) to just a robot performing an everyday activity. You will then have the opportunity to see your idea come to life! I will pick the top 3 ideas and turn them into robot sculptures and the top 3 will receive their robot for FREE!

Your idea can be submitted as a written description, sketch or photo. You may submit your ideas in direct messages to me on Twitter http://twitter.com/lisastarchild or to lisastarchild@yahoo.com. Please put "Robot Contest" in the subject line.

For examples of robots please visit the robot section of my online shop here

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

I've Been Blogged About

Today I received two messages through Etsy Convo from awesome people who have blogged about some of my items. First http://www.seemegshop.com/2009/10/30/friday-ramblings/ posted about how much she loved the earrings her husband bought her from my etsy jewelry shop sugaredwithspite.etsy.com . She says that she has been wearing the same diamond earrings she received from her husband on her wedding day since that day, but took them out because she wanted to wear the new earrings that badly.

Next http://www.sewcupcake.blogspot.com/ featured my Sleepy Robot Figure in her "Whacky Wednesday- Cute gifts for children". Though I really appreciate her featuring one of my items, I will just say I do not recommend giving any of my figures to children as they are fragile. This is the 2nd blog in the last few weeks to feature my Sleepy Robot.
