A Giant Embryo finds a home...

You may have seen a few weekends back now I was lucky and took part in the FIRST EVER Designer Toy Convention the UK has seen in London; ToyCon UK! http://toyconuk.com/

It was an amazing weekend and I am so glad I got to be a part of it.  One of the main specials I had created for the day, was a selection of GIANT Monster Embryos. 10 were created in my original colouring; Brilliant Blue and another 7 were customised by some amazing artists! Haus of Loz, Jon Paul Kaiser (who customised his live on the day), Ume Toys, Stitches and Glue, Creo Designs (who also helped me produce these giant embryos), Lisa Rae Hansen and Matt Lunartik Jones all customised one in their signature styles and MY WORD they were outstanding! 

The fab pink unicorn that Loz did for me has found a home and I was really overwhelmed by Rebekahs post that she was kind enough to share with me about her purchase.

"Today i received a truly amazing piece of art :) the monster embryo in itself is a design triumph but to have a one of a kind custom of such an large scale is truly awesome,
the attention to detail is second to none its beautifully produced in every aspect.
as a collector of these fine works i would define this as an epic centre piece to my collection and would encourage anyone who truly appreciates beauty and quality to invest in one :)"

Thank you SO much Rebekah for becoming the owner of this truly superb creation and also for taking the time to leave such beautiful feedback for me.  There are still Giant Embryos left and trust me guys, these are even more amazing in person.  If you'd like to own one then follow the link and check them out: http://tayloredcuriosities.bigcartel.com/

I am open to taking instalment payments on these larger pieces, so if you see one you want and would like to pay in instalments, contact me at tayloredcuriosities@hotmail.co.uk and let me know!

These little creatures stand at 1.2" tall and are collectible, resin, figures.
These are not suitable for children.
Packaged in a clear bag with original header card.

Candycornariffic...

I was messing about today, just playing with my designs and decided to see if I could make candy corn coloured Embryos and Seedlings.  It was a really fun experiment.  I only made one of each, but look at the results.  So cute.  I just want to eat them, the colours turned out really well.  What do you think?

New Embryos...

The second instalment of my Monster Embryos series hits my Big Cartel shop tonight at 6pm! This time I have produced a run of 20 in an apple green colour.  Just to remind you, these are small, limited runs, so there won't be any more of each specific colour once they are sold out.  To grab your apple green Embryo head on over to my shop : http://tayloredcuriosities.bigcartel.com/product/monster-embryos-in-apple-green

Brilliant blue Monster Embryos...

So here they are, the brilliant blue, Monster Embryos that I have been releasing sneaky pics and work in progress shots of for over a week now.  The 15 blue Embryos will be available in my Big Cartel shop at 7pm tonight!

These come packaged in a clear bag with an original header card, just like the original plush embryos.  Thank you to everyone who has posted about these and spread the excitement and made my first fully sculpted toy an exciting event for me!

Lovely red cords...

Originally my idea was to sculpt each cord by hand and add to the casted Embryo, but due to the roughness of the postal service and the delicateness of the cords, I have altered my plan to assure safe travel.

The Embryo cords will now look like this (these are still to be painted), but it means an assurance of safe delivery via the post.  The above 15 I may have for sale on my Toycon stand next year in London.

Beady Eyes...

The eyes are done and I am onto the hand sculpted umbilical cords.  These will be available very soon from my Big Cartel shop and will be listed for £10 a piece, only 15 available.

Monster Embryos...

I have officially begun production of my first ever, fully sculpted, designer toy.  Monster Embryos are an older design of mine that were once plush and now I have transformed them into my very own resin figures.  Complete with hand painted eyes and hand made umbilical cords, these little guys will be hitting my Big Cartel shop soon.  Blue is the first colourway I will release and there will be 15 pieces available.  Here are some production shots and teasers...
