Very interesting are these peaks every year before Christmas…
Next year, I think i have to plan the timing for my releases better

…

The first bunch of XMAS PEARBLOCK Angels are gone for Christmas and
few more waiting for their new owners. Happy Hollidays to all!

Ok i’m late as usual

…so i’ve worked today on my small series of XMAS PEARBLOCKS.
I droped the arms because they where to small for my taste, i’m fine with
only the two wings on the back of the body.

All the pieces are now finished with semigloss varnish. Still have to
assemble them and have to find a nice giftpackage solution…no idea
about this, very simple i think. For iron branding it will be too late
…grrr no time. (and srry for the blurry mobilepics i’ll update you
with better pic’s of this series PEARBLOCKS when Christmas is over)

Lost yesterday my complete WordPress database with all my pages,
posts and comments I was really downhearted about my work on
the code, css and template i’ve done so far for this page the last half year…

Now today the Support of my Web-Host was my year 2009 hero!
The Support answered to my ticket after two minutes, they had a Backup
of my Database and even repaired a damaged file for me without charging anything for it.
This is what a client-support should be!
..now smallstuff.ch is up and running again!!! jepeee!

thnx METANET

Last month I had so much work to do in the model building studio and nighttimes i was more on the painting-some-stuff-wave. Finally I’m ready again to work on my Toys and I’m really enjoying it to work with wood. It’s such a wonderfull material and it offers so many ways to cut, drill, mill and carving some nice toys out of it.

For the time beeing I’m working on a first small series of my PEARBLOCK Wooden Designer Toy. Have some ideas for these first 15 pieces. I want to spend them two angel wings out of bright wood (maybe maple), but I’m not shure if it fits well…any suggestions? I planed to give most of them away as Chrismas presents. Check the WIP pictures of the process so far…well, still lot to do till x-mas! …and if you be in luck, maybe Santa won’t give away all of them and you can get even one of these guys in my shop, stay tuned
