Tiny felted robot: "My head is on fire."

I've been wanting to make more tiny felted things, and today I finally had a chance. This is only my second felting project, and it's my first felted robot. He is 100% wool. (Although i did poke my index finger a few times with the felting needle, so he might also share a tiny bit of my DNA.)

I love the idea of using simple natural materials to make a high-tech little dude. I have a feeling I'll make him some friends.

New Robot Painting: Yay, Lightning

I made this while rewatching Short Circuit tonight on Netflix. (It's one of the movies you can watch online on demand.) The last time I saw this movie was in the theater in 1996, and I'm happy to say it still holds up, even if it's a tiny bit corny. I kind of hope the remake never happens.

It's stormy in NYC right now. Maybe somewhere out there, a friendly robot is about to come alive.

This is what happens when I don't feel like working:

New robot painting: I don't have an unfriend button.

I don't have an unfriend button, so once you add me, you are STUCK.

This is a little robot painting about the suckiness of social networking, and more specifically about the jerk who just deleted a friend of mine. I think it's really sad that our society developed a way to end friendships with a click. If someone matters enough to befriend, don't they matter enough to keep around for a while? To maybe talk to? To let them know what's bothering you?

p.s. I think it's funny that the robot turned out a little creepy looking. That was unintentional. But I like to think that even creepy-looking pink-haired robots deserve to meet people (robots?) who won't unfriend them on a whim.

New robot painting: I can almost reach it.

A new little robot painting, for days when it seems like everything worth having is just out of reach. (He's optimistic, even if he has no reason to be.)

Happy holidays, world.

May your holidays be full of snowflakes and robots and love. :)

I made this year's sparkly, roboty cards with two block prints on 100% recycled paper (yay!) -- one had the snowflakes and one had the robots. They turned out kind of messy, but I like them anyway.

Recent robot painting: You got super-served.

This one makes me happy, because it turned out just like what I had in mind.
