Meet My latest custom, Redcoat, an 8″ Qee. He is now on his way to the Civil War and Our Founding Fathers show which takes place in July. This was my first time customising a large figure like this and i had a lot of fun making him!
A quick sneak peek of my 8′ Qee custom for the Civil War and Our Founding Fathers show in July. It’s great having such a big ‘canvas’ to work on, so much scope for texture and detail. And how gorgeous are those glass eyes? i just love them, i’d love to see how they’re made. The rest of his look will stay secret until he’s all finished!

Hailing from Bristol, UK, Gavin Strange is known to the toy world as JamFactory, creator of the Droplet vinyl toy which burst onto the scene in 2008. Now in their second series the Droplets continue to delight with their simple design and their sweet and curious personality. When he’s not bringing his crisp, colourful style to everything he touches Gav is Senior Designer of the digital department at the illustrious Aardman Animations. I am delighted to be stocking series 2 Droplets through the A Little Stranger Shop.
Is Strange your real name? cause thats awesome!
Haha it is yeap! When I was a kid I don’t think I was too enamoured with it as the other kids used to take the mickey but as I got older i loved it, and especially trying to make a name for yourself in the design world, a weird surname helps!
Qeeology 2.5 is on tomorrow, if you’re in the Nebraska area you should check it out, there are some really great pieces from very talented artists. I’m so pleased to be included, it’s a shame i cant make it to the show! Take a picture for me! :) Pictures of my custom, Moss Rabbit, are here.
I’m very happy to make these Monster Paws by Stitches and Glue available through the shop in 4 different colour combinations. Each is a real little work of art, handmade by Paul Vincett in the Monster Workshop, a fellow UK based monster loving artist. The purple one in the picture is mine, i have it proudly displayed on my keys, and sometimes wear it as a necklace!
Moss Rabbit is my entry for the Toy2R Qeeology 2.5 show on May 7th. The show features custom 2.5″ Qee’s by 70 artists all over the world and im really happy to be taking part. Lots of pictures, including work-in-progress shots…
Monsters have to start somewhere! These monsters have just been hatched, and are ready to be adopted by you. Each is handmade by Chelsea in the Love and a Sandwich studio, USA. Now in the shop!
You can instantly spot the work Chelsea of Love And A Sandwich, her happy furry colourful monsters with BIG personalities will put an instant smile on your face! I have been seriously in love with this girls work since I traded a purple bear plush for her bunwich in 2008 and am now super duper excited to be selling her Monster Baby plushes through the A little Stranger shop.
How does it feel to make toys for a living? Feels great! haha. I do have to put in a lottt of hours and hard work for it to pay off money-wise, but I just remind myself that I’m doing something I love, and things could be worse! I definitely love the hours. I can sleep in and work late, which I love doing. This wasn’t really something I saw myself doing when I was doing art when I was younger, but it just sort of fell into place and works better for me than any other medium could. :D
He’s cute and he’s small, he’s Cavey! Coming soon to the shop, Cavey is a new toy design from A Little Stranger. He’s been a secret project of mine for a couple of months and now he’s just about ready to be released into the wild. Check out his website www.heycavey.com!
Here’s a little sneak peek of my custom for Toy2R’s Qeeology 2.5 show, part of the Toy2R 15th Anniversary World Tour. I’ve been really inspired by vintage toys and facemoulds lately, my friend leant me an AMAZING book called Happy Bunny Kitty Pony (i need to buy myself a copy and quit hoggin’ hers!) and i’ve based this little guy on some of the cute/creepy bunnies in there. He’s a little further along than this now but i’ll post more pictures when he’s done – a girls got to have some secrets right? :)
I am pleased to present a new plush! He has been a work in progress for a couple of months and im very very happy to be adding him to the shop today! As with all my plush art the Chicken Dragon is unique and never to be repeated. He’s 10″ tall with solid glass eyes and sculpted face, teeny weeny translucent teeth, and is available in the A Little Stranger shop Edit: Sorry he’s now sold!
Cavey is a new toy series from A Little Stranger. Each Cavey is lovingly handmade by Holly in the A Little Stranger Studio.
