"What
kind of paper do you recommend?"
I
use card stock which is also called cover stock. I like Wausau Heavyweight
Exact® Index Card Stock, 8 1/2" x 11", 90 Lb.,White.
You can buy a pack of 250 Sheets for less than ten dollars at Office
Depot.
"What
kind of glue do you use?"
Plain
old Elmer's school glue seems to work just fine for me. I've heard
from people who like glue sticks or even scotch tape. The important
thing is to have fun!
"The
PDF files aren't downloading! What's going wrong?"
Check
your documents folder. Sometimes computers download PDFs there instead
of the desktop.
"Where
do you get your ideas?"
Hmmm.
All over the place! I draw every day and a lot of the toys come from
doodles in my sketchbook. I like looking at old books in libraries.
"Can
I print out your toys and sell them at the swapmeet/my store/as part
of my gift baskets?"
Please
don't. They are a gift and not to be sold for money.
"Can
I print out a bunch of copies and give them to people in nursing homes,
my class, my kid's birthday party, use them for Christmas Presents?"
Yes,
please do! That is what they are there for! Make as many as you like.
Nothing makes me happier than to hear that someone has made a toy
to cheer up a friend.
"Do
you take requests?"
I
love getting suggestions of things that people would like to see like
different holidays or animals that they are fond of... that's why
there are lots of otters! I do not do toys using other people's characters
like Winnie the Pooh or Harry Potter. |

I'd love to
hear from you!
