Elephant Puzzle for Sale
I've been working in my shop lately, and ran across a few unfinished elephant puzzles. In the past, I have had requests from people asking to buy toys, so I decided to post a finished elephant puzzle on Ebay. Eventually I'd like to start a toy company, or design toys for an existing company. When this happens, I'll be able to have the toys made in a more efficient way so that the prices will be less. However, if anyone wants something now, that's handmade by me, then here you go!
LOVE IT - wow!
ReplyDeleteI really love all the toys you do. So simple and they allow the imagination of the children to grow. I think the design is also very skandinavian-like, so I can easily to identify with it.
ReplyDeleteHaha, sorry my english!:)
Summer greetings from Finland!
simple and perfect. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see every child with one of your toys, as opposed to a box-full of battery-operated rubbish. I think if you established a toy company you'd do fabulously!
ReplyDeleteit's beautiful. i so envy your kids, they'll grow up not just as creative persons, but they'll also have great sense of aesthetics. your work is really beautiful, and i relly wish you find a job as designer for toy company - and hope you won't have to make compromises there.
ReplyDeletei think of all your things i liked tree mobile (is that it's name? you know what i mean) the best!
You could open up a toy shop on etsy in the mean time. People would love it!
ReplyDeletewow. beautiful design, really lovely work there.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much everybody. Yeah, I was thinking on opening an Etsy shop at some point, but now I have so little time that I could spend on it. We'll see what happens though!
ReplyDeleteI second the etsy suggestion! oh and congratulations on the LMNOP work! I'm totally lovin' the magazine now :) Thanks!

ReplyDeleteA great fan of your blog - love love love all the creativity and especially feel that your children are very lucky to grow up in such a creative environment. I bet that kind of upbringing would have helped me out greatly in my own life because I am a creative being.

I love your toys!
