Flyers will be Flyers

Up past midnight placing my new and highest Uglydoll shelf. Before I could climb down from the ladder, three flyers zoomed up and claimed the space.

All of my Poe's are keen for a high perch. Flyers will be Flyers!

Uglydog Gets Some Sun

We were alarmed to notice our tiny glass Uglydog was missing from his air-cushioned case.  Where in the world could such a little fellow be?

We sent out an all points bulletin to our Ugly Shire and soon discovered our tiny glass Uglydog is all Uglydoll indeed.  He took himself out to inspect his new digs and to get a bit of sun.   We found him proudly perched atop the glowing sun and shining just as brightly.

We coaxed him inside with cookies, a sure fire way to entice any Uglydoll. We'll have to keep an eye on this little fellow.

Uglydog is part of group of six Limited Edition Hand Crafted Glass Uglydolls just released.  Find one of your own right here.   Or get all six.  But be warned, they may be very tiny, but they are 100% full of the adventuresome Uglydoll spirit, so keep cookies handy if you need to find them.

Uglee

Uglee. A new word around the house.  That's the pure state of joy that comes from having our Uglydoll family.

We're glad to be back on the Ugly Chronicles after a long, unplanned absence.
Those of you who recently looked back through old posts no doubt noticed ALL of our photo links were broken.  That happened when we tried to update and organize our Flickr.
So a labor of love is under way complete with volunteers. We plan to attempt to find and restore the hundreds of missing photos over the next couple of months.
To our volunteers go the cookies!  Enjoy!

In the pic:  Strange Beast Bossy Bear Glee Version from Giant Robot. This fellow is extra special because he has a David Horvath tatt on his red cape!  David was very kind to sign him.  Thanks to GR for making it happen!  Since I'm about 1200 miles from GR, I would not have this Bossy without the help of others.
If you want one of these, you can still pick one up here.

Rocket Ride Uglydoll Tin Toy

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.  Look what's coming in 2012!
An Uglydoll Rocket Ride Tin Toy.

Start at the top with that too adorable Ugly poking out, then let your eyes roam down the piece, taking in every swirl of color.  Then the pay off! Rorocket Rides with our favorite Uglydolls as pilots.  The Uglydoll magic is alive and well. No doubt.

A must-have tin toy for me.

Check it out here.

Flashlight Series #3 Uglyworm

Clip-on Uglyworm was a bit surprised by all the attention.  Yet he gave us a tiny smile.

The Flashlight Series #2-- Poe

Some of us are uncomfortable being put on a pedestal.  Others were born for it.  Poe is one of the latter.

Ugly 365 The Flashlight Series #1 FeaBea

This is first in a nightly series of photographs called
Ugly 365--The Flashlight Series.

For one year, each night between the hours of midnight and 4 am I will capture a special moment with an Uglydoll.  If you're going to explore the contemplative side of an Ugly, the first four hours past midnight prove to be the best.

I will use only my iPod Touch and a flashlight, thus creating The Flashlight Series!

I've been asked many times how many Uglydolls I have. My answer has always been that I never count them.  I do, however, have enough to photograph a different Uglydoll every night for a year!

Let the fun being!
