  • TEAL bedtime bunnies coming next Thursday night August 7th at 9pm

    Saturday Aug 02 2014

    They are just about ready to go up into my webshop peterkatoshop.com

    Inspired by customer reactions to test shots and my visit to the Hampton beaches one weekend I decide to create

    the teal series of bedtime bunnies. So when you look up teal on the intern a whole range of colors show up , there doesn't seem to be one definitive "teal' color. So i went with that, a range of sea-green colors that reminded me of the ocean beaches. All the colors are different blends of blue & green tints. The feets are cast in...

  • New Bedtime Bunnies Colorwave Orange with Grey Bunnie Slippers

    Monday Jun 16 2014

    Hello everyone , hope you had an amazing weekend!

    This week we will be releasing some new Bedtime Bunnies, this time Orange with Grey slippers!

    Some at the studios wondered if this colorwave variation was influenced by my recent binge-watching of "Orange is the New Black" season 2, well i guess it is possible...not a bad connection to be made for sure~( I love that show~ ).

    3inch bunnies will be $20 each while the smaller 2.5inch variety will be $12 each.

    We will also have a restock on our shop standard of Pinks and Whites!

This time the batch have been organized as a blind assortment so i have included a special chase figure, one golden bunnie with a black felted bottom. I hope you like the figures & please stop in at myplasticheart if you're in...

  • Artists Interview on John Derian

    Tuesday Jul 17 2012

     So my daytime job is at this artists studio in NY called John Derian Co. where we focus on producing handmade decoupage plates, platters, paperweights, coasters and bowls . His designs are sold at upscale home stores, in catalogs, and gift shops worldwide. It's a wonderful place to work where the people are very good to me. I get to assist in design & production and have learned many unique skills that I otherwise would not have gotten to learn had I not worked here. Artist HealeyMade actually worked here first( as one of the skilled artisans in production) & got...

  • Hinomaru Turtle Tetsujin makes it to the Design Toy Awards 2012

    Saturday Jun 16 2012

    To my surprise earlier in the week I had received a tweet from the Design Toy Awards group. I found out that my Japan Charity figures , the Hinomaru Turtle Tetsujins had been entered into two catagories for this years awards: Best Self-Produced & Best Toy of the Year.

    To be included on the list with so many veterans in this industry is really amazing. I honestly thought it was a mistake of some kind( like some twitter-hacking prank or something), but as I checked the link to the DTA 2012 pages I saw that my figure was up there...
