Can't get enough of Loki

Too true!

 

[Sarahmoluccan]

[Hermesbird]

This is so awesome! Love the photo by photo updates! I really need to stop working and try some diy projects like this, So exciting to see his destruction play by play!

 

[Ulis_Beast]

DESTRUCTION!!!
Per request () of @BirdWorld and @ParrotNuts

I simply cannot decide which I love more, making these things or seeing Loki blissfully destroying them...
Next up will be Rainbow Yahtzee, specifically designed and tailored to Lokis playstile and needs, the first toy I sketched up actually;

I'll be beating a dead horse here.. But Loki watches me make them, fiddle with the toys in the making.. He just can't wait to get his beak and claws on them...

The dance in the second video, he already loves it!!!

 

[Ulis_Beast]

The dance

That is him saying:"Give me, give me!"
Lol. I call it the Gimmy, gimmy dance.

I will be stopping by my local home depot to try!! How did you color them? Ive heard a lot of people use food dye.

I call it the Gimmy, gimmy dance.

Also cutest little happy dance I've ever seen

 

[Ulis_Beast]

food dye.

I used an organic vegan food dye, but I'm not terribly happy with it, the colours aren't strong and bright. Only the yellow is nice.. I just couldnt find the Wiltson food dye. Here are the detailed instructions on use.

A "quick" toy..

Made fast, hopefully destroyed fast.

. Just a question, do you get the parts from @calibird ?

 

[rockoko]

I love this thread! Beautiful Loki with his fantastic toys! Great job!

No. I love what they have on offer, I wish I could. Things, economically speaking, make sense only, if I make relatively large (170$ without shipping costs) orders from the US. I can afford about 4 per year. And some of the toys on offer from Things for wings or Seriously Nutz.. Well one simply needs to have them.
If I lived in the US I'd be a frequent flyer.

I use a few chosen specialised stores.
( kork-deko.de modulor.de mibomodeli.eu )
Even so, the shipping to Croatia is rather expensive.

This whole DIY frenzy started after a purchase from Northern Parrots, a simple balsa and cork toy... Which got anihilated .
They don't even have it in stock anymore... I haven't seen any balsa toys anywhere in Europe. It is imperative that Loki destroys stuff... soooo.. Took over half a year for me to get going.. but now..

I am shamelessly teasing him.

Aww thankyou!!

 

[Hermesbird]

His face says pretty please may I have it lol and this is just mean lol but he has to be patient for it to worth while lol

Regardless of the outcome on the color of the toys, they look like they were well loved by being chewed up ... mission accomplished!! Looks like you need a scroll saw if you are going to cut out those shapes.
