Step Into My Sketchbook...

I realize I have been talking about my move from MO to NY and a lot about my family...Which yes, it's obvious are important to me and this is a huge moment in our lives...but this blog post will focus more on HinckleDoodle today.

Presently, I am still working on the snail. I think I'll get it done this evening :)
Commencing the crossing of my fingers, toes, and eyes now!
(Whoa, actually strike that...Eyes have to be uncrossed for now. Hard to type and do that bahaha!)

If you haven't become a fan of my HinckleDoodle page yet (what are you waiting for!?) here's a pic of the snail's progress...

I now have the shell completed and I am assembling the body today :)

AND I THINK I HAVE DECIDED TO NAME THIS LINE:

HINCKLEDOODLE SLOWPOKES <3

Now I have been back & forth on whether to reveal my secret project just yet. Mostly because I'm afraid my former best friend who is now my biz copycat will try to copy this project that is very dear to me.
It's going to take quite a bit of start-up money, but I am just too excited about it--not to share!

So, without going into it too much, I thought I could at least show you sketches of the new style of plushie-making that I want to integrate into HinckleDoodle's products.


CAUTION: THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN THE PRODUCTS YOU'VE SEEN SO FAR IF YOU'VE BEEN TO MY FACEBOOK PAGE!!

But I think it's a good 'different'... :)
 

Here's my first ever sketch in the style...(some of you may be able to tell what style it is but just for the sake of secret-keeping, I won't use the term until I make my first plush for this line!)
And this sketch is my favorite!

Cute, unique, OOAK dolls are in HinckleDoodle's future! :)
I think that this line of products will be unlike anything you've ever seen!

And here's a few other sketches for you to peruse :)



Scuba Fish Explorer



Fisherman's Delight

Air Ship Captain



Mistress Key Keeper



That is only a SMALL GLIMPSE into my sketchbook for this project :)
I wish I could show you all of them. I'm very proud.
The greatness is the endless possibilities this line will bring.

It's definitely more personal in a way.
I'm into science fiction, fantasy, magic, retro and vintage.
This meshes all those wonderful things into one style.

I think I may make this a regular theme...to allow my fans to step into my sketchbook.
It's how all my creations start.

I hope you've enjoyed tapping into my imagination and taking a stroll with the creatures that will be and could be.

I heart you fans. I really, really do. :)

If you enjoy my blog, I'd love it if you would pass the word on!
