makin' toys at Pratt

I teach a toy-making class at Pratt in Manhattan.
Here's a great group shot of some soft toys that my students came up with. Some were based on patterns from my book, and some were free-range-craftin' masterpieces. All in all a lot of discovery happens along the way-with lots of suprises! It was a very fun and productive semester.

It's official!

 My brand new book, Make Your Own Toys, has officially been released into the world, and I found proof on Fancy Tiger Crafts' blog--they're a great D-I-Y boutique all the was over in Denver Colorado. Amber and Jamie wrote about my book and the best part was that they posted AWESOME images of the toys they made from the patterns and instructions found in my book. They made a gorgeous Lazy Kitty (Love it!), and an adorable Fox. PROOF that you can MAKE YOUR OWN TOYS.

Lazy Kitty!
