Q:
Dear Ty, How long does the process take from the time you decide to create a product until it gets produced? What is that process?
(submitted by elaw25)
|
|
A:
There have been times when the process took a matter of weeks. The more sophisticated the product . . . special fabrics or hand painted eyes . . . the longer the production time.

(submitted by arlene2)

|
A:
The fabric I created for Punkies, TyTips, was challenging. I wanted a fiber that would spring back into shape but was soft to the touch. Many of our fabrics have special characteristics . . . Tylon is cool to the touch and can be produced in millions of colors and TySilk has a wonderful sheen and softness.

(submitted by ninna15781)

A:
This little guy has become quite a celebrity. As many of you know, there are 2 different versions of Phil. There was a limited number of Punxsutawney Phil sold by the Punxy Chamber of Commerce . . . I think this version may be sold out. The second version, PUNXSUTAWN-e PHIL is available at the TyStore. Keep an eye on this little guy . . . . you never know where he might pop up.

(submitted by victorianliving65)
|
|
A:
Every Beanie Baby design requires a slight difference in the amount of beans. Some times it takes me longer to get just the right amount of beans than it does to design the product. It took 5 tries to get Seadog just right !
