The Robits are coming, the Robits are coming, the Robits are HERE!

"Don't be afraid, we come in peace."

Yes the Robits are here and want to be friends. I started making these lil' guys, oh I guess two weeks ago. The first 4 were trial runs, they are made from polymer clay so I had to get used to working with it. The first, unfortunately was scorched in the baking process, poor lil' Robit. The next 2 were given to my kids, now I told them that these were for looking at and not for playin, but my son (He's 4) decided that his yellow Robit was gonna drive his toy school bus and make it fly, again i say poor lil' Robit. One of the 4 never made it to the baking process because being new to polymer clay i didn't realize that you have to work in light colored clay to keep lint down, it was a mess, i wore a black T-shirt, the lil' Robit was coverd in lint, what a mess.

I Think i have the process down and really enjoy makin' them, I've sold 4 and have a bunch listed in my shop. I hope they keep selling so I can keep makin' them. I hope you enjoy these pics of them.

Where have i BEEN!

Indeed. It has been about THREE WEEKS since my last post, and my blog is PISSED! I am in some serious trouble this time. Flowers haven't worked, candies, poems, sweet talk, expensive gifts, nothing. So I'm gonna try to give it the only thing i have left...LOVE. I won,t slack off anymore, i promise, I'm gonna get it together and start posting on a regular basis again. Serious, honest promise.

Theres gonna' hafta' be a few changes though. First some of you might have relised that I;ve changed the name from Oddist Showcase to Oddist world, this is because I'm changing the format. I used to post 3 interviews a week, and while i had a great time doing it and got a fantastic reaction from them, i just don't haver the time to do that many in a given week. I will keep doing them, never fear, but I'll do one or two a week. It,s really hard work conducting good interviews, what with contacting the talent, coming up with good, in-depth questions, getting them to the interviewee, then posting them. Wow, I'm getting tired just thinking about it. I have an interview ready to go and it will be posted soon.

I am also getting rid of the lil' Monkey Shine segment and replacing it with a pic of my ever changing monkey avatar, he does like to get into the wardrobe department and dress up. He loves the attention, what a little egoist.

From know on i will be posting more about myself, my work, what i'm into and things like that. I think i want to make it a little more personal. I had so much fun with it in the past, i just want to keep it fresh and interesting for everyone else. I hope you all continue to read it and enjoy it as much as you did.
