Large Forest Gremlin

Hi guys, :)

I recently completed a new character, the Large Forest Gremlin. These are much larger than the mini forest gremlin that I have previously made, standing 22inches from the tips of their ears to their toes!!!

The Forest Gremlin is a large, elusive gremlin that can be found in heavily forested areas. He is a mischievous chap and he spends most of its days collecting mushrooms and chasing small rodents. They work away collecting the large mushrooms, leaving the smaller ones for the mini forest gremlins to collect.

More photos can be seen on the Grumble Toy blog.

More Mini Bonhommes!

I have recently completed a few more Bonhomme minis and decided to take them to the park for some adventure. Here are a few of the pictures that were taken.......

The adventure ended when a giant hand swooped down and carried this little one away.

Wide-eyed Kitties

Hi everyone,
Happy Friday!
Here are a couple of the latest plush that I have made. I call them wide-eyed kitties because of their huge eyes.

Hope that you all have a good weekend!

Meet Wolfie

Hi guys,
Here is the latest plush that I just finished off this morning. His name is Wolfie and he is made out of wool and acrylic felt. He has glass google style eyes, glass nose and handmade polymer clay teeth.

Needle Felted Creatures

Hi everyone,
I recently completed a few more needle felted creatures that I wanted to share with you. Each of them stands 2-3 inches tall.
I have been in a real miniature toy kick lately and plan on making more mini bonhommes as well as other mini creatures.

Here are some pictures of the latest needle felted creatures that I have made.

More Mini Bonhommes

Hi everyone,
Its Ainsley from Grumble Toy here.
These are a couple of the newest mini plushes I have made. These little guys are headed off to Yellowknife so I decided they might need some boots and a scarf just in case it is chilly :)

These tiny little guys stand a mere 4 inches tall from head to toe.

Grumble Toy - Needle Felted Kitties

Hi everyone,
This is the first time I have needle felted and I must say it is a lot of fun! These are the first two creatures that I have made so far. Hopefully there are more to come!

Mini Bonhommes

Hi guys,
This is Ainsley from Grumble Toy. I just wanted to tell you about these little guys that I finished today.
I have always loved anything that is tiny so I decided to make a miniature version of the Bonhomme of Winnipeg.



Here is me....proudly posing with the little guys. :)

Ookie by Grumble Toy

I have just completed 3 more toys. This little guy is Ookie.
He will be a limited edition of 10. However each Ookie is unique and has its own personality.

Grumble Toy --- Dumbo Octopus

Hi everyone,
This is Ainsley from Grumble Toy.
I just finished a new plush creature today and thought I would share it with you all. It is inspired by the Dumbo Octopus found deep in the ocean.
However, this one only has 5 tentacles......... so I guess it is more like a penta-pus.

Grumble Toy

Hi everyone,
This is Ainsley from Grumble Toy.
I just finished a few plush that I thought I would share with you. The Mookie's were in the works for quite some time but they are FINALLY finished. I just completed my Bachelors degree in Science and finally have more time to dedicate to sewing.
There are 5 Mookies in total.

Check out the Grumble Toy blog for more photos.

The Kitty with boots is a new design. For some reason I just really wanted to make some plush boots.

Grumble Toy

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on the needle.org so I guess I should tell you a bit about myself. My name is Ainsley Sturko and I am from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. My partner Chris and I run a toy shop called Grumble Toy. (www.grumbletoy.com)

I just started making limited edition plush a couple of months ago. The first of these is a friendly snow gremlin called the Bonhomme of Winnipeg. The Bonhomme is an edition of 10.

I have also started making these fuzzy guys:

This guys name is Cedrick.

This is Mookie.

You can check out more photos of these guys on the Grumble Toy flickr account.

All of the plush that I make are inspired by my drawings and paintings. If you are interested you can check out my art at: www.ainsleysturko.com
