Gone Fishin'

Taddy and FriendsPerhaps I should say we're gone huntin'.  We're taking our little boat, Boojum, up into the home waters of the Cadborosaurus.  Taddy (our own little wooden version) has recruited Minuet and Owly to help him find his "roots".  

Here they are…  ready for Adventure!

Wohoo! Love it that you have a blog! Love the Fantiny Owly and have lots of questions about the "Taddy" – do tell about him.

And that tiny cherry pit dolly in the header – more info please!

I know, I'm so demanding :)

Taddy made his first appearance in an episode of Ellen and Pink. It was a series that started with the episode entitled "Caddy" in which the kids decide to go cryptid hunting.

I spent a week carving him. He's quite a handful to pose because although he has lots of joints, he also has a mind of his own.

It's cherry season, so we've had another breakout of Cherry Pit Dolls around here.

Oh my – I'm in love with Taddy @@ – will have to study him further. Looks like he is partly made from spare beads and/or wooden mannequin parts? Did you see the Mer-Bear I made a couple weeks ago?

I'm sure Taddy will inspire even more articulation..hee-hee!

Mer bear is totally ADORABLE!
Taddy was made with one wooden bead and the rest was basswood (and an ultrasuede tail.)
Yes! Articulation is something to explore. I love it.
