Robots!
I've been working on these robots for about a week - building, gluing, painting, varnishing - and it has been so much fun! Do you like playing with all the different filters on Photoshop like I do? I don't know how to do much in Photoshop (another thing on my to-do list) but I love clicking through the various filters and oohing and aahing over the different looks. I thought the robots look like vintage toys in this photo.
Here they are under normal conditions. I haven't given them names yet because I am so name-giving challenged (see, I can't even think of a name for my short coming, good grief!) so I am open to suggestions. Hopefully I'll have some of these guys and a few other new things I've been working on for sale in the shop fairly soon.
You did a wonderful job. They are so cute. I agree, the top photo has a vintage looks. It's my favorite. Those will sell like hot cakes.

I was just looking at your online store, and fell in LOVE with your mushroom house pincushions. I'm so sad they're all sold out. I have to have one for my collection.

I wanted to leave a "Thank you" for the banner pattern you had & then I saw the cute robots! My 5 yo was standing right next to me & the first thing out of his mouth was "Mom, let's make some!" I guess I know what we can work on this summer while he is out of school. So a double "Thank You"!!

Adorable! I'm not good at naming things either, and I LOVE the photoshop effects.

How cool is that! The robots are wonderful and the photo shop techniques...I think we may have this on a machine in our house...don't know for sure though.

You are too talented! I love the robots - they look fun to make. My son and I will have to give that a try this summer. Right now, I'm working on the vintage vertical stripe crocheted blanket for my daughter. It's an easy and fun pattern to crochet. Thanks for the tutorial!

I think the dog one should be something like Bitso or Scrappy, while the other one looks like a male, Tobias is the name that springs to mind for some reason

Oh my goodness! These are mighty cute.

Those are amazing! I'm thinking Roberto (taller one), Everson (shorter one) and Jeremiah for the dog. The dog was easy...thats my dog's name :) Fantastic job by the way.

I love to play with Photoshop too, but I am really bad at it. You seem to play with it quite good.
Your robots are cute cute cute, and about their names, what about Bit and Bot?
(I am having a nephew and I am thinking on doing him things with robots, no doubt, you will be one of my inspirations)
