Our Dollhouse

This our doll house! It's the bomb. It used to belong to my mom and my aunt Kim. My aunt was gracious enough to give it to us when I saw it in her yard sale and promptly wigged out. I love finding things at thrift stores or the dumpster, but there is definitely something special about passed down relics.  It is going to have a place of honor at our NEW HOUSE!!! We are moving into my great grandparent's (MEMAW AND PA'S) house. We are beyond excited! Most of our stuff has already been moved into the house, our actual bodies will be there Saturday night after the Flea off in Louisville.  I am pretty excited/overwhelmed at the prospect of starting over in Brandenburg. It's our hometown where we met in fifth grade.
     Richmond is also a hometown for me since my dad has lived here my whole life. Which brings me to another point. I will miss my dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been borderline insane cry fest about a million times in the last two weeks thinking about it. I have been trying not to think about it truly.  I will get to come back. I will get to come back often. I just have to keep telling myself that.

T-shirt design for the Black Feather Cafe

     We are really excited about making a shirt for the Black Feather Cafe in Berea, KY! They are super nice and have always been good to us! Plus, their food is the bomb!
     We have been neglecting this sucker. It is not on purpose. We (mostly me?) have misplaced our camera.  Yikes! Hopefully, I will find it soon.  We have been working on secret projects and turning trash into magic. 

Skeletor-finished

          Isn't he a stud? He is 4ft tall and 2ft wide. We will be taking commissions for 300 dollars per character.  He turned out so good! We just couldn't believe it. The next one up is Pee Wee. Ooh La La!

Skeletor

         We were brainstorming and brainstorming trying to come up with something we could make with the supplies we had on hand or things we could get for free.  This is what we ended up with: Skeletor made out of detergent bottles, food trays, black cords from discarded electronics, and lots of staples.  The finished photo will be up soon!

Red Riding Hood on a Skateboard! The shirt!!

Found Photos

In all of our dumpster diving we have come across thousands upon thousands of discarded pictures.  We don't really know what to do with them. But they can be lots of fun to look at, so we thought we'd share some on here from time to time.  Who knows, maybe one of you will recognize somebody and we can reunite some of these great photos with their family.

Comix!

Here are a few sneak peaks at our upcoming comic zine, "My Secrets Well Known." 

BUSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

  Ah, Christmas, my favorite time of the year!  Abbigail is busy cutting out paper dolls, making stockings, and cooking me delicious treats.  Meanwhile, I'm decorating like a crazed lunatic, illustrating my very first children's book, cutting out wooden owls, and addressing tons of Christmas letters (with a little help from my favorite book of typology inspiration, "The Father Christmas Letters" by J.R.R. Tolkien) for friends and family.  Above are a few of our favorites. 

New Stockings!

       I made three more stockings! They are turning out better and better! I am very proud. They would definently be lacking, if it weren't for Billy Joe's help, the Bah Humbug one is for him. He loves it, but he wants to keep all of them. Too bad, we gotta make that dough!!

Meet our latest Paper Doll, Furdinand

Makin' things and gettin' presents!

            Billy Joe and I have been very very busy making things! He has made tons of posters and paper dolls! Together we came up with the idea for the Kitty Cat pins, and we revamped an old design of mine to start cranking out these dinosaur stockings!

 

         Billy Joe also made me a super cool drawing as an very early birthday present. I love it! Dr. Teeth is always the jam!  We are excited and hesitant about the new Muppet movie. I hope it's good!

               I am so pumped about the next two months! We have already had Billy's birthday and Halloween, both of those holidays were not as great as we wished (no money!), so we have to make it up at Christmas and Thanksgiving! Hopefully, all our new things will sell and we will buy each other mink coats!

New Products!!!!

       Most likely, my sister will be getting engaged soon.  Just look at those muscles, who could say no?!  I am so happy for you, little sister!!!
