Thank you so much for the fave :D

Very cool gallery!

I just wanted to tell you how amazed I am by your huge assortment of pipe cleaner action figures.  I recently purchased a secondhand giant pipe cleaners and plastic pieces modeling set (it's sort of like Mr. Potato Head except with pipe cleaners instead of a plastic potato) and I discovered your work after doing a search trying to identify who the manufacturer of said kit was.  I've noticed pipe cleaner figures made by other people from time-to-time over the years, but your body of work is by far the most impressive collection I've ever seen (it helps that you obviously like a lot of the same video games that I do too).  Keep it up and never lose your artistic passion!

Thank you very much for these kind words! I'm sorry I only saw them just now, but they mean very much! I love what I do and I plan to never stop!
I love your chenille dolls. I work in a similar medium (poms and felt with some chenille). Would you mind sharing your techniques?
Thanks for the fav!

When will AmpuTheater be at another con?
You're welcome! This coming Saturday and Sunday, at the U of R's SIMCOn, next weekend at RIT's Rudicon, and April 20-21 at the University of Buffalo's UBCon!
