New Product
I recently illustrated the "Room to Play Playscene". Now available from Mudpuppy Press.
The scenes fold up just like a book with a cool handle to carry them everywhere. There are over 50 vinyl stickers (re-stickable) to choose from with characters, clothes, and furniture to decorate with. I had so much fun working on this project. There are three other scenes to choose from, which I am going to buy for myself because I really like the illustrators.
Imagine an online version, like this:

My 5 yr old son has enjoyed playing dollhouse, although he wishes there were more knights and riders, castles and forts....

I'm in Singapore and they don't ship to here.
I really wish to own one of this wonderful piece of creation. Is there any way you can suggest?
Thank you & I really love your illustrations!!!!

Posted by: Pat on August 14, 2004 09:10 AMOh, I really love stickers and the vinyl ones are so clever! It's fun to put them on windows as well! I'm definitely getting one of those for Daisy! Oh and by the way, I thought that you would be interested in this link. It's a website dedicated to 1920's Japanese Children's Books and Artists. http://www.kodomo.go.jp/gallery/digi/KODOMO_WEB/index_e.html
Posted by: Poppy on August 14, 2004 03:16 AMI love the playscenes! What fun!! I remember many fun hours playing with colorforms as a child. I'll have to check these out :)
Posted by: Becky on August 14, 2004 01:18 AMi suppose it is a good thing, that i not only understand this vinyl chewing compulsion, but tend to indulge from time to time myself. yes, a good thing indeed.
Posted by: jeff pitcher on August 13, 2004 12:50 PMYES, i also chewed on the pop bottle thingies keri, i forgot about those. i'd sit there trying to dig it out with a fork or something and then my dad would yell at me "hey, that thing helps keep the pop fizzy". is that true?
Posted by: amanda on August 13, 2004 11:04 AMHi Keri-- we committed to PVC/vinyl-free toys for the kiddos, but I am torn about these stickers... we'd love to see them in paper form!

That must have been a really fun project. It's like more portable Colorforms! I might have to go get my own set, for play and inspiration.
Posted by: kat on August 12, 2004 11:05 PMOoh! How fun. It looks great. I bet it was great fun to work on!
Posted by: penelope on August 12, 2004 08:39 PMthey are like colorforms....which i ADORED as a kid. these are definatly going to be part of the christmas gift plan. what do you think is an okay kid age? i'm kid-less....would they be okay for a 4 year old?
Posted by: denise on August 12, 2004 05:29 PMIt's Colorforms fun! Man, I used to get such a kick out of these things. I never chewed the vinyl, but did I ever love that smell! I had a Charlie Brown one as a kid. Charles Schultz was a god (although Peanuts got a bit Family Circus near the end.) I might just have to go and snag some of these for the nieces and nephews!
Posted by: saru-san on August 12, 2004 05:26 PMThat is so cool....I loved that type of thing when I was a kiddo.
Posted by: Luci on August 12, 2004 04:16 PMOh fun. My stepdaughter would love that!
Posted by: Heather on August 12, 2004 03:29 PMi am and have always been an avid vinyl chewer!
what a weird compulsion it is.
do you also chew the pull out thing on the lids of pop bottle tops?
i've actually never discussed it with anyone before.
Posted by: Keri Smith on August 12, 2004 01:26 PMoh my god, i LOVED those types of things when i was a kid. i remember chewing on the vinyl stickers, i have no idea why, i was a weird kid.
it looks fab!
Posted by: amanda on August 12, 2004 01:21 PMawesome keri! that looks like it was such a fun project!! I can't wait to see it in person, it's hard to get an uplose view on those little drawings! looks so cute though :)
