new monsters maybe?After thinking about making a slightly fancier version of Tookies finger puppets for the Northville Art House Holiday Market -- and not really wanting to try another one tonight -- I came up with this guy. 
Each one would be different and individual, but would be similar in that they'd be the same basic shape and face but different colors and arms, maybe not all will have a tail, etc.First off, I am thinking skinnier arms...like I will roll up the fingers more tightly the way I did the tail (photo below).
The tail was added because there was a small hole in the glove.Oh...and I won't call them Tookies...I will think of something else. And they are too large (even folded up) for an Art-o-mat box. I will still make Tookies for Art-o-mat.I like this guy -- but what do YOU think? Is this a decent Stocking Stuffer?
I am SO thrilled to be able to announce that Greeny (my first Art-o-mat® machine)
is now located at the most wonderful coffeehouse in Northville, MI -- SOLID GROUNDS.
I have dreamed of moving Greeny in to Solid Grounds...it is one of my fondest wishes come true! Solid Grounds is such a warm and friendly place...there is always something going on. Plus, BIG and exciting changes are taking place and I feel so privileged to be a part of it. Thank You so much, Teresa and Mike! (more pics tomorrow)
And, of course, Buckety is still thriving at Detroit Comics in Ferndale, MI. Buckety fits in so well with the wacky, quirky, FUN atmosphere. Thank You, Brian and Lori!

YAY -- Greeny (one of 3 Art-o-mat® machines in Michigan) is back in Northville!
