Perhaps if people want to see the second toy (you can catch a glimpse of it at the very end) I'll post that video too.
I had a lot of success with toys made with "Ghost Blue" pigment at my last show...so much so that I ordered all the other ghost pigments afterwards (they arrive today!! 👻😍).
Well, it's only been 16 days since the last video, and probably 14-ish since the customer saw their toys (I made them 2). 😍
Guess juggling a day job and family responsibilities are keeping me quite busy! Here's the follow up video though with the final result.
It will get mailed out tomorrow. 😊
Quick post of today's work in the shop (no music or captions for this video).
A customer at this weekend's EACF really loved the colour of one Grind Ring but wanted it in a softer firmness - today we made that happen! 😊
Will show the final once the customer has seen it first, but it looks nice.
So glad you love the colours. 😊
It's always so fun to peel one out of the mold and see how it turned out.
A white coffee mug with pink handle and the Erotic Arts and Crafts fair logo prominently displayed on it. Full of delicious brown gold (coffee).
Had a great time with @comeasyouareco.bsky.social at the #eroticartsandcraftsfair.
I even got this lovely mug as a souvenir! 😍
I’ll be back again next year as long as I’m selected for a table. 😊
One more sleep… 😊
Hope to see you tomorrow.

giveaway toy from @desertislandtoys.bsky.social My very first grinder! I gave some coral inspiration photos and this is what i received. The toy is prettier than i thought it could be. I am in love with the pour. And the little squishy dude is just too cute!!
That’s unfortunate if there’s no nearby office. For me, I had to go across town to a little office near the Ottawa airport. But for $60 it was worth it.
Only the $58.98 import charges will remain.
You can “self clear” your package and avoid all of UPS’s fees if there is a Canada Border Services inland office near you — I just recently did the same. Let me know if you want more details (and haven’t already paid their fees).
Thanks for bringing that to my attention...I had no idea that the default wasn't to be open. Should be fixed now. 😊
And for ALL of our runners-up, lets not leave you empty handed. You've won a $20USD store credit good for 2026 only (not incl. shipping charges). To use it, DM me here on Bluesky from the same account you entered this draw from, and I will manually create a listing in my shop with the $20 discount.
And we have a winner! @pitymepeachie.bsky.social 🥳🎉🎉
I will send you a DM and you have 48 hours to respond back to us to get your Kora model design started.
Desert Island Toys will be driving down from Ottawa to Toronto again this February for our 2nd appearance at @comeasyouareco.bsky.social's Erotic Arts and Crafts Fair! 🥳
This time it's on V-Day itself. 💘
We hope to see you there. 😊

Happy New Year! 🥳 🎉
Should have a new model to announce soon…and with it, perhaps a giveaway. 😊
I’m interested in trying to produce it someday. I have downloaded the files, but would probably want to make some edits to it first. Maybe will get to it in 2026. 😊
I love it when they turn out so beautifully! 😍🐯

A mold of the Coral Grinder.
We’ve got a mold 😱😉
Beautiful! 🤩
Would love to know where I could get that from. 😊
Image of a 3D printed leg/pillow mountable grinder master fresh off of the 3D printer. Design is rectangular with holes for two straps, and contains a large model of a coral as the grindable surface.
The print job went well. Next will be sanding/surfacing the master (that can take a long time, but I’ll try not to be too much of a perfectionist 😂).
Sneak peak though of the Coral Grinder for anyone interested. 🪸
A picture of a grind ring designed to have a tentacle reaching over top of a pile of coins and jewels.
I have been working too on a new tentacle grind ring for months now (on and off), but I don’t quite like it yet, so it probably will get redesigned from scratch. I can share that one…wonder what people think.
At least it taught me how to make a semi-decent tentacle.
A 3D printer putting down the first layer of a new toy design. The picture was carefully timed so as to not give away the name of the design. 😉
Printing a new grinder model today. 🎉😊
I figured it was time for something which could be leg/pillow mounted (I get asked if I have one each time I vend at any market).
Hopefully will be able to share the design soon. 😉
My condolences. Scott was very giving to the community, and he will be missed. 😢
My wife has her eye on a Bard The Swirl Small 😊
🎉 I’ll send that message now. 😊
