The Games Table is done!

After many late nights and googling of old game board pieces, I have finally completed the Games Table. Yahoo! Games have so many memories attached to them, and they can bring you right back to your childhood. The laughing, the fun and sometimes the flipping of the game board. Games are a big part ofContinue reading “The Games Table is done!”

The games cupboard … WIP

Well I must say that trying to be creative whole social distancing and working from home with a 4.5 year old has proven to be very difficult.

I can clearly remember sliding the little white disks with tiny cells into the slot atop the red View Master, pressing my eager eyes to it revealing a 3D image and the beginning of a story. A toy that many generations have had, and as I recentlyContinue reading “The View Master, the first virtual reality toy”

The vintage toy journey begins with Fisher Price

After the art-walk hangover passed and I got over my tent loss…. yes tent loss. My big tent busted on takedown Saturday. A sad loss indeed, and a bit expensive too. That aside, I couldn't wait to get back to the studio and start painting more of those vintage toys. The response to my firstContinue reading “The vintage toy journey begins with Fisher Price”
