interview with the FArtists : cyber brown wednesday fart fair

well, this year, we wanted to answer the question, what do the teeny weenies for the rest of the year, u know, like, when they are not helping santa.



and, well, to answer that question, me and duk duk thought long and hard, and drew on the depths of our life experience as a ferocious wolf and falcon. hang on -



duk duk, why r u poking at - no, technically it applies to both - cantchoo see we are in the middle of a very professional - okay, okay, fine...



sorry, i meant a ferocious wolf and a ferocious falcon. anyhow, to answer your question, which really, answers our question, when the teeny weenies are not busy helping santa, we felt they would have very normal, very rich lives. playing on the merry go round, living in cute houses, and helping others in a variety of contexts. and, well, what with santa's deep and nostalgic connections in the literary world, the help context that most intrigued us is how they might go off and appear and help in other beloved (mostly) children's stories. hee hee, all while making them their own, of course.



o u mean like, why now? why cyber brown wednesday? well, we started the project in earlier this year, thinking we would be finished in time for a cyber f(ine) art fair in late summer. i mean, we have been going to school for forever now so making peeoramas should be second nature to us, right? but me and duk duk kept having more and more ideas on how to make them cooler with all sorts of interesting details. like, the tiny tiara and tiny handstitched leather shoes and boots? and tiny red leather sleigh?




all things we had to get mom - i mean, all things our talented team had to not only learn how to make, but figure out how to make on a miniature scale.




and then after we made a few peeoramas, we thought, well, these are really cool, but what if we could add movement? you know, to engage the viewer and draw their minds deeper into these little worlds, through the very powerful sensations of touch and motion? so that took some time to figure out. and of course, as u might imagine, fabricate. but we think the results are really worth it and hope others will, too..



hmm, a preview of everything? well, me and duk duk are working on a few stop motion videos to debut our collections so our friends should stay tuned to our instygram, instygram stories, and facebook because we hope to be posting them soon. that way u can see what they look like when they are moving.



so anyhoo, if all goes well we hope to be dooting our teeny weenie peeoramas and mecharamas at our cyber brown wednesday (F)art fair on the 28th of november at nine eastern standard time. o and sometime after that, we hope to debut our new christmas ornament and after that we will have to see what have time to post because do have some tiny dachshund treasure boxes and some teeny weenie trees to finish up.

hm, is there anything else to add? well, mostly that we hope our teeny weenies will all find wonderful homes and we hope that everyone will enjoy the pocket sized tidings card we are enclosing with our orders this year. they are smaller than the postcard we usually like to include, but this year we thought it would be nice to make something that can be put in a wallet or purse so it can be taken everywhere. and we printed it on special pearly card card stock to give it a nice subtle, calming and peaceful sheen. like frost on a window on the night before christmas. i would show it to u but we did not want to spoil the surprise for our friends.
