…meet felix…
Meet Felix. He is my first robot.

Many people have inspired him. Firstly Johanna, (I am not sure if she knows quite how much of an inspiration she really is.) Also Unsound Records has a band called The Pages. They have a really great song named Robot that always gets stuck in my head, in a good way. A couple of web people I know are making really great robots. Both Lisa and wee wonderfuls(who just posted a new Robot!) (Things slipping together.)
Felix will soon be making his way across the country to Seattle to be in a show at Schmanchy with tons of other amazing people. I first found out about the event by loobylu and all the craft greats are going to be participating. Felix is a bit nervous to be in that sort of company, but he hopes he will go to a nice home. He wears his heart on his chest instead of the sleeve, because he figures it is easier that way. He is great friends with Gilroy, even though Gilroy doesn’t have all his stuffing yet and his eyes aren’t stitched on. But Felix’s heart belongs to May, who still remains a sketch for now, but will soon be making her debut.
Mom is flying in tonight to spend a whirlwind weekend in the city. The Boy and I are heading out to pick her up from the airport. Literally walking out the door!

Felix looks amazing! So regal and important sitting up there. I am so happy to see him…I can’t wait for him to make his journey to Seattle! (Make sure he packs an umbrella. It is very rainy there and I know that rain makes some robots VERY nervous.)
Have a great weekend with your mom!

I love your robot. He strikes just the right balance between hard robot angles and soft toy. Beautiful job.
