Geek gear

I have started working on Paintbrush bags and Dice bags of varying sizes.
These were the prototypes and more are on the assembly line.
Paint brush/ Tool Bags

 The paintbrush bag makes taking something to your local gaming store for a hobby day nice and easy.
 They sell for $20 each
The design on the paint brush bags has changed a little to add a flap that covers the top of the brushes holding them in place a little better when it is all rolled up.




 The d6 dice bag 
They are hollow inside making lots of space for dice and tape measures etc.
they sell for $10 each
 I have attempted to make stuffed d10's but they turned out like stash pillows so I added a few decorations to them to make them more unique and nifty. since that is two failed tries I am probably going to give up on the D10 idea and these two will be truly unique as stash pillows.
they are on sale for $5 each

The Wargamer approved dice and Template bag.
Big enough to fit all your dice and tokens and templates, a flame template fits diagonally inside. with a zipper opening to keep all those things from falling out.

They sell for $15 each
new fabrics being worked with still

The small Dice pouch
 These are a smaller version of the Wargamer Dice and template bag, the original design is a great one so for RPG players and other gamers that do not need such a big dice pouch the smaller size is more designed for them.
They sell for $10 each
these are not quite finished yet but will be soon

The four ponies of the Apocalypse.

We found a good pattern for my little pony plushies, but being as there is already a bunch of plushies out there for my little ponies we figured that we would prefer to make the offbeat ponies. Robot Chicken did a my little pony spoof and we decided that we would much prefer to make War, Pestilence, Famine, and death ponies. Here are the prototypes we have come up with so far.
War pony

The art from robot chicken we are using to help with design.

Then Dezzy decided that she really wanted a Slephnir pony.
 Because having Odin's 8 legged horse in plushie pony size is awesome.
We are still in process with Death, Famine and Pestilence, so more pictures will come eventually.

A new year is almost upon us and that means a new set of conventions to get ready for.
We are working like little busy worker bees buzzing away in preparation.

The Conventions that we have Tables for in the coming year thus far is:

You can find us in the Vendor hall at this one too.

The conventions we are wanting to have tables at thus far is:

August 8-9, 2015
We currently have an application to vend with them and we really hope they accept as we are wanting to expand to more events on the Island

Attack-X
Attack-X – Tabletop War Gaming Expo in Kamloops, BC – Warmachine & Hordes, Flames of War, Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer 40K Tournaments
September 2015, exact dates yet to be announced.
This is a small but growing wargaming convention in Kamloops B.C. In 2014 I had an artist table and it was a fun and profitable time so I am pushing to go again, and since my husband wants to go to play Warmachine it makes a lot of sense for us to try and vend there again. I will be in contact with them as soon as they announce that they are starting organising again.

Ifcon
IFConHeader01
October 31 - November 1, 2015
This is a new convention starting up here in Victoria that looks promising. We are about to send an application to vend with them and we really hope they accept as we are wanting to expand to more events on the Island and this one is really close to home.

It looks like if we manage to get tables at all these then we will have a nice full schedule for the 2015 year.

Furry Friends

A new shipment of bright coloured Fun Fur has just made it our way so there will be lots of Tails and ears to come in wild awesome colours, we are currently working with the bright and light blue. 
There are no pictures yet of anything made from these as they are just in process right now, but in the mean time here is some finished product.
 
bin of tails, wolf, fox and cat style.
 White wolf tails and ears. 
Pink wolf tails and ears.
We are also starting to make furry hoods like my purple monster hood
should they be monsters too or animals? that is the question we are currently debating.

Tentacles Galore

I make Tentacle monster Backpacks they have a 7x7 pocket on the underside and hve clips at the end of four of the tentacles so they ride on your back like a backpack. 
 They sell for $80 each














And a miniature version too, these ones only have a little 4x4 pocket and are more dice bag like. i put loops at the end of the tentacles so they can have things attached to them like key rings or clips etc. so they can be hung from backpacks and whatnots.
 They sell for $40 each












More pictures can be found here at Sammy's blog.
