We recently completed Dale as a commissioned project for Tim and Rachel. Rachel’s grandfather invented the TV tube tester, and one of his actual creations makes up Dale’s body. Tim and Rachel had the piece made for Rachel’s mother as a way to display the prized family heirloom and to get it out of the deep, dark recesses of the storage closet.

Dale's home

It seems that Dale has now taken to a few of Rachel’s grandfather’s hobbies, including smoking a pipe and wearing his old tie and monocle. 

After Perfection was given to John and Meridith as a wedding gift, they left on their amazing honeymoon vacation. Upon their return home to California, they say they were quite impressed with Perfection’s behavior. ”She had put up ‘welcome home’ and ‘congratulations’ signs and balloons everywhere around our house. She cleaned, fed our bird and even began sorting our taxes,” say her new adoptive parents.

Special thanks to John and Meridith Sprengelmeyer for the update.

Dorchester recently got a new brother, Vita-Mix. They seem to be getting along well together.

Vita-Mix was commissioned out of an old Mac and MINI car parts. Here he is standing proudly in front of one his family’s MINIs.

Special thanks to Todd Pearson of White Roof Radio for providing photos.

Drip was given to Amanda’s boyfriend Topher as a Christmas gift. He now resides on their shelf next to an empty bottle of Patron with a bamboo plant growing inside, which is quite a juxtaposition. We can only hope with all of that gardening, he still finds time to get himself a nice manicure.

Thanks to Amanda for the update!

Beverly in Allen's office

Beverly loves her new home in Allen’s office. She’s learning a lot about the law and is even being trusted with client confidentiality.

Valentine's Day

For Valentine’s Day, Beverly was overwhelmed when she received flowers and a card.

Thanks to Allen Lebovitz for sending in his photos.

Ingrid helps students appreciate art

Ingrid’s new home is in a Kansas City-area school art classroom. Hopefully while she’s there she can soak up a good education.

Special thanks to Michelle Tyrel for not only providing the photo, but also for teaching her students about the importance of art. Hopefully Ingrid will help inspire some robot-related art projects.
