Look what just arrived!
I little while ago, I posted pictures of a custom Chumby I had painted. (you can check out that post
here) Whats a Chumby? Its like a clock radio/bean bag/rss feeder and more! Its better explained on the
Chumby website, but you can do things like listen to pandora, read blogs, facebook, check email, play games, ect. Its definitely a fun gadget (christmas??) and exciting new platform. The people at Chumby designed their product to be easily mod-ed and encourage using chumby in creative ways, as seen on their forums and community pages.
Anyway, I am about to customize a series of 5 Chumbys that will be sold through the chumby website. I'm pretty excited about it, and I'll be documenting it right here on on my
flickr page. Hopefully I will be able to even develop some of my own widgets! I'm shooting to finish these customs before Christmas.
Oh hey, this is my 100th post!
Goldfish Chumby is now up for sale on the Chumby website! You can snag one right here for $599. Its very reasonable for a hand painted Chumby!
I've finished my Chumby series. YAY! You can check out more pictures on flickr!
I'm up to the detailing part! Its kinda my favorite part, so hopefully it should go a bit faster.
I've finally finished transfering the design on all of the Chumbys. Because Chumbys have a soft body, and the seams are all a little different, I couldn't use any tracing tools on them. I had to draw the design freehand on all 6. This is the most cumbersome part for me. The rest should go faster!
Look what just arrived!
