Grouping

I am going to be grouping my Mini Communitites together to create bigger communities. So instead of one set you get three little houses,two felt play mats,and six monsters.

And I'll have the one sets for Stocking stuffers on sale! I'm working on simple softie monsters for younger kiddos.The only piece to worry about is the face on the monsters but if you watch your little ones with them they won't come off.....the face would have to be chewed a lot to even come off!


I had an example monster

 

I think this design is cute,simple and fun for little tykes! Their not too big and not too small.

I have new felt (thanks to me awesome husband) and I can stitch up some monsters and work on Monstrous Baubles towns and accessories now.I have a Christmas Village in the works now and a trade order to get to baking!

 

 

I may be working on more cave like homes this weekend .....I like the idea of a one monster home and more tree houses.We'll see clay isn't cheap!But I do have white clay and it is only 6 bucks a pound which rocks!!

Another Update

I am quite the chatter box...anyhoo I am going to sit back and work on just the Farms and other parts of the Monstrous Baubles community....This is a list of what I came up with for cool towns and villages....


Monster town
Spooky City
Candy Corn Fields
Cotton Candy Farm
Flower Fields
Lollipop Village
And I'm thinking of Tinsel Town for a Christmas village.

I have had ideas pop into my head and my cousin's ideas conjured ideas as well...for instance..

In Lollipop Village there will be bubble gum sheep that instead of your average wool from a sheep they have bubble gum growing on their back.Small bite size ones I believe!

I want to also work on a small field of tiny candy corn that you can set on an orange or yellow felt mat....I could also stripe the mat some how.

I have ideas of lollipop flowers too that can be picked....tall flowers like Alice has seen in the fields......tons of ideas I want to work on.It will take a long time to have everything done but as soon as I do I'll list like a mad hatter!

Update

I have the first larger Monstrous Baubles set done!

 

Their bigger and better....more fun the felt lawns are a whole 12" square!

 

It will take me awhile to come up with the Monster Metropolis but I will work little by little.I would definetly like to have some stickers to offer as well,so weekends I will work my butt off! Hopefully by Christmas I'll have a large assortment up in the shop!

New Set

Here it is! This is what the new sets will look like

The only problem was the outside,it started to smear so I have to make a different house for the monster set.....But it won't take too long.You get a 12" felt mat for a grassy scene! it's awesome and you can just have it set up with the box closed and them in their backyard.I made taller trees and blue berry bushes.I'm going to work on more acessories for the monsters but it's going to take forever since I'm not so good it tiny hats and things quite yet.I was thinking of making fun winter hats and scarfs for the winter sets,and other miniature things.......More to come in the future!

New Sets are arriving!

I have started Larger Monstrous Baubles sets....the homes are 4" by 4" and the monsters are 11/2" tall the monster kids are 1" and they come with a cool monster pet which are the usual 1/2" or smaller.

It's awesome the rooms are bigger and you can make out the design better more details and the outside of the box are even drawn up so you can have a backyard and the outside of the house.Theres a velcro closure to close the homes up!


So now the original sized monsters will be cute fun collectable ornaments and I have some adorable elf monsters ready to list soon as well great for Christmas!

SOOOO I should have those ready this week sometime! I'll post pictures later!

More Brainstorms!

I kept coming up with ideas and the more I kept on lining up small houses to the larger one I thought it was a mess to work with......I am thinking of making my sets bigger and more fun to play with.


I'm also thinking of listing a cool item.....Monstrous Pocket plushies.You can pick from an assortment of faces and monster styles....They'll be made from different color felt .....More updates when I come up with them!

Brainstorming

I am going nuts brainstorming new ideas for my toy sets.I came up with the idea of just adding my smaller houses into the larger pencil box sized ones.....I have had a bunch of comments on how small my monsters were but I believe them being smaller is a great thing so they can be a part of a bigger community of monsters inside my pencil box sized sets.

The lid is actually where the metal would go and you can have some trees and a house or two set up there on the sides.Inside I would have a hand drawn or painted scene of hills and stuff and the houses would sit on the bottom there too.If I had enough metal squares I could cut it to size and fit it inside the entire box like my first initial plan of the magnetic community.....But I'm still not sure since I don't know how strong the squares are.But as soon as I can pick up the supplies I can start on testings! Mwwwahaha! I will keep updating.
