Have a bunch of wood & resin toy projects going on right now. I really hope i can release these little fellas as a DIY edition in march when spring is coming and the sprouts are growing! ^_^ Now i have a lot of details to sort out, especially how to export the cress seeds from the “Happy Gardening” Set i’m planing…

Meanwhile some WIP pictures of my first custom i’m working on: “Golden Age” AncientCritter. Hope you like him

…

Our Test labs are full of new organic experiments with all the different AncientCritters. We had to send out our best recources to get some new rare species and varieties for the “Happy Gardening” Kit

Nasturtium officinale

Medicago sativa

…

The Release of the AncientCritters will be in late February with a first run of 33 DIY pieces, handcasted and numbered by the artist. Differents colorways and some surprises will follow till then, stay tuned!

Now it’s time to share some secret WIP shots of our new fellas. Last week our studio turned into a greenhouse and the first AncientCritters resin casts were used for planting series of experiments. I’m petty sure the AncientCritters will bring the best out of you and a green touch for your desk & toy collection! ^_^

You can see on this short slideshow the silicone molding process of AncientCritter ALTRO.  I have placed the the prototype and the seem line in a slightly strange position for this two part mold but I had the feeling I should give my silicone-plug-system-technique™ a shot

Now after the first few resin copies i have to say, casting is going pretty well so far …and I’ve got some wicked ideas for these fresh Resin Critters right now! Stay tuned.

Short update on my AncientCritters. Just applied basecoat filler and sanded down the ABS layers till everything is sleek & smoothed

Finished 3D-Print Proto with white NC-paint. Now this fella is good to go for a first mold! Check back soon…

…

After reconstructing the “Ancient Critter No1″ information from a tiny bio-harddisk we were finally able to revive a first specimen of it! For the time beeing it’s growing fast and we feed it with fern and other ancients herbs. But see for yourself!

More about these long time died out “Ancient Critters” next week…

Happy New Year from smallstuffstudio to all!
The year is pretty young, but i have so much new stuff to show you!

First of all, the last few PEARBLOCK Angels will find a new home today at my grandparents and grandaunt’s shelfs. They where a great joy to give away as Christmas presents. So i have one last left (no. 01/16) and i will sell him here on the smallstuff page for you in a few days! Stay tuned if u want to grab this unique handcrafted 2.5 inch Wooden Designer Toy py pepe for your own collection.

Now to the fresh stuff: Ancient Critter #1 – Keep your eyes open, long gone species will revive 2010! Check the data-sheets I found deep burried in a secret vault of this ancient little fella… Strange things will come! Be warned!
