Happy November and welcome back to TBB’s newsletter! I hope you all had a good Halloween.

Getting right into it with a quick recap of October, there were so many events to attend last month! We. . .

1. met this adorable young bison at the Las Golondrinas Harvest Festival,

   

2. saw Kami Kehoe, Starset, Chevelle, and Breaking Benjamin in concert,

3. and went to the Abiquiu Studio Tour! It was a busy month!

   

On the art front, that’s where the changing gears starts to come into play. I really want to start shifting my focus to sculpting: improving old models, creating new ones, etc, the way I did with the Pumpkin Cats. Unfortunately for me, there are currently drawers full of in-progress pieces that accumulated throughout 2026.

Char helped me sort through the backlog, and I’m slowly working my way through them. The second half of my pride drop from May is in here, as well as the figurines I started around the Lunar New Year. Once these are taken care of, we’ll be turning our sights to planning for 2027.

Moving into November, we won’t be doing a Model of the Month sale this month. There have been some changes to Etsy’s ToS that are forcing us to reevaluate our options concerning online sales platforms. We’re not sure what our next move is going to be, but we both want to take this month to figure that out. Hopefully by December, we’ll have sorted everything out, the MotM will be back, and the backlog figurines will be available. We’ll keep you all updated.

As for shows, we will be at Tumbleroot Brewery in Santa Fe, NM from 2-6pm today, November 1st! This is our only scheduled show for the month, so if you’d like to see us in person, this will be your chance. We hope to see you there!

Finally, happy birthday month Char’s dad! <3

And with that, that’s all for this time. And thank you for reading. We’ll catch you later!
