Too early for Christmas?


Too early for Christmas?
Nah!
We sold out of tree skirts so quickly last Holiday season that we are listing them already so you get a chance to purchase throughout the year!

I have a couple up already and as I sort out what will be available (fabric availability, pom pom stock, etc) and I will keep listing them as the year goes on.

As always if you have one you want and don't see listed please feel free to email me at red_marionette@yahoo.com


You can keep an eye on them in our shop HERE

Concept Art - New Additions to the Family?

Its been a fairly productive day so far! Finished up a bunch of ornaments for some orders and then had a brainstorming session for new animals for 2012.
I have in the trio above from left to right - Honey Badger, Weasel and Otter.




This last image is a Monkey. The Monkey has been the bane of my existence for four years since I normally don't add arms to any of my animals. (Hooved animals are also an issue as their long legs are difficult to make. Ostrich, Flamingo, etc) I also struggled with him not looking like a squirrel in all of my sketches.
So tonight I started working on a Monkey from the prompting of one of my Facebook Followers. So I came up with this little guy with tiny t-rex like arms. I bust out laughing while drawing them. What do you think? Is he a keeper?

2012 - Welcome the New Year!


Happy 2012!
I know I am a bit late in welcoming the New Year but having been super sick over the Holidays and now feeling like a human being again... I am catching up!
We had a wonderful time visiting with Kyles family over the Holidays (until I had to be quarantined with the plague).

We have some super exciting things we are cooking up here in Red Marionette Land for 2012 and as the year progresses I will be able to share them with you.
First thing I am happy to (and able) to share with you all is the honor of being part of the Craft and Hobby Association Trade Show in California!

We have been chosen to have a selection of our goodies in the Craft and Hobby Association Trade Show at the Anaheim Convention Center January 28th thru 31st!
Kunin Group, the manufacturer of Eco-Fi (The felt I use) has a booth there and will be showcasing items made from their felt, mine included! Check them out! http://www.kuningroup.com/ and

We are also working on restocking up the shop and filling reserved orders! Busy busy so far this year! Did you make any resolutions or goals for 2012? I'd love to hear what you have planned to make this the best year yet!
