Woollyhoodwinks are a collaborative project of friends Jeff Root (an artist and film projectionist) and Scott Runcorn (a web and print production artist), both of San Francisco. Jeff began designing and creating these woollen creatures at the end of 2003, and within two years it became apparent that the Woollyhoodwinks had bigger plans of their own.

Reviews"The artwork in the book is perhaps my favorite thing of all, a blend of traditional illustration and fabric crafts that have been photo-shopped in. It has a warmth and depth to it that I find very appealing. I have a huge addiction to crafting and that this story is born from five hand made stuffies is really inspiring to me, as a crafter, writer and mother... From my son's perspective, however, it was wonderful. He found both the story and the artwork to be absolutely riveting. He consistently requests it at night and even points to things when out hiking as comparisons to things in this book. If it engages him and prompts him into making connections with everyday occurrences. I'd say we have a winner" - GeekMom, wired.com "The Woollyhoodwinks plush toys come to life and share a new adventure in the new children's book... Each scene in the book is beautifully photographed mixed in with drawings and stitched scenery. The jist of the story is about how the Woollyhoodwinks carefree existence is interrupted when a piece of the sky falls to the earth, becoming the infamous dark patch. But, cute story aside, you'll want to get this adorable book for all it's crafty inspiration!" - Craft Magazine "I LOVE IT. It's my favorite book I've reviewed all year: While I may not always feel smartre enough for Sartre, The Woollyhoodwinks vs. the Dark Patch is one for this existentialist. With a mix of cute handmade sock-puppet-looking things (the aforementioned Woollyhoodwinks) and whimsical sentences that shock and please with their originality, if you like your adult books intense, this is the kids' book for you. Of course your kids just may think the dolls are cute. And that's okay too." - Cool Mom Picks |
