Here at Arundale Products, we’re very dedicated to making our product line American Made.  We try to, but man, is it difficult.  As a small family owned business we make a genuine effort to ensure that as many products as possible are made in the U.S.   Unfortunately, the business ways of the world come with many irksome obstacles.

One of our largest and most pressing obstructions is finding a U.S. manufacturer for our Feed the Birds Garden Flag.  Our customers love the image and they LOVE the Garden Flag, so much so, we sold out of the flags some time ago.  We’re not inclined to admit the sheer number of back orders we have for this product or the demand we’ve received for other Squirrel Stuff images to be printed on garden flags.  The stores are very eager to get this item back on the shelves and we would very much like to get these flag mass produced and start selling them again.

The problem is, we don’t want to give in and send the manufacturing out of the country.

We want to pay a U.S. company with U.S. citizens employees to produce our products.

So we’re putting out the word.

Does anyone know a good garden flag manufacturer in the United States?

We’ve had several almost options, but so far no one has come forth that can make the Feed the Birds Garden Flag and meet the correct specifications we need to have it look like the quality product that it is and enable us to have this be a United States made product.

Here are the exact specifications:

 12″ x 18″

 Machine Washable

 Durable for Outside Use

 High Quality Print Image

 The image MUST be viewable from both sides at the same degree of saturation.

Front Side of the Feed the Birds Garden Flag

What does that mean? – In the past the flag is two sided, on the front the Feed the Bird image can be seen and the text is reversed.

Back Side of the Feed the Birds Garden Flag

On the back side the Feed the Birds image can be seen, with the same level of color intensity (not faded) only the reverse image is visible and the text is reversed.  It almost appears that the ink has bleed through to the back and retains the exact same degree of clarity as the front.

If you are a manufacturer that can product the type of product at these specification (or you know someone that can) Please (or have them) contact Marc at the office.

(314) 652-1220

We would be very interested in seeing if we can do business.

Recently we’ve received complaints from customers demanding more new undiscovered squirrels in the calendars.  As the artist, my initial response is “Com’mon people, are they trying to kill me? I need sleep too.”  Then Anne (President of Arundale Products) chuckled and reminded me that this was actually a good complaint.  People love the images and they want more.  As referenced in a previous post “The Undiscovered Squirrels” the creation of each undiscovered squirrel is no simple task.  Because of the limited production time for illustration, layout, designing, and editing we decided a few years ago to only add a limited number of new squirrels to each upcoming calendar, to lighten the work load, to extend the series out, and to give new customers a chance to discover the favorites of previous years.  New ideas are constantly being tossed around through out the year and I’m always on the look out for the next crazy awesome hypothetical squirrel idea.

One difficulty we have when selecting new “animal” are the requirements for keeping our little guys cute, fuzzy, and being able to still look like squirrel at the final stage.  Sorry, there will be no Octopus Squirrel in our calendars.  It crosses our “Is it cute?” line and squirms right into something one might find in an H. R. Giger series.  I certainly mean no disrespect to his work, after all I own several of his books.  The Octopus Squirrel, and other hybrids of that vein, simply do not fit into what we want to create and share with our customers.

What exactly are the requirements for a potential Undiscovered Squirrel “animal”?  Mammal, easily identifiable features to distinguish it from other animals, and appears significantly different than a squirrel.  This last requirement is why the “Rabbit Squirrel” is a no show, the two animals look too much alike, the final product wouldn’t appear very “undiscovered”.

Squirrel and Rabbit

Cute, yes, undeniably so.  While cute is a requirement, it is not the over all goal for the undiscovered series.  If one removes the tail off of the squirrel or adds a squirrel tail to the rabbit, the end product wouldn’t carry that same intriguing quality that the other undiscovered squirrels possess.

I’m always eager to hear idea from others, even if the idea isn’t chosen, there is always the potential for an outside idea to generate an even more fantastical Undiscovered Squirrel to present next year.

The Armadillo Squirrel *Armadillisciurus squamosus

In this most recent edition I created the Armadillo Squirrel, this was by far the most ambitious of the series.  There were so many opportunities for this little armored one to fail.  He’s technically a mammal, has fur and definitely stands out in a crowd, but his leathery armor was tricky to manipulate.  It was simple enough to create the “shell” but the bulk of the work went into directing him in a cute direction.  Real armadillo body armor is made up of small plates of bone, each covered by a layer of horny skin and separated from its neighbors by soft skin from which sparse hairs grow.  This intricate armor was recreated in a similar fashion but with the coloring and fur texture of a squirrel.  All the while, in the back of mind I was hoping “please don’t end up looking like some freakish alien turtle”.   I put off the tail for last.  It took several weeks to develop viable a plan of attack for negotiating how to integrate the banded armadillo tail into the fluffy squirrel tail and have the two appear feasible.  After a great deal of patience, adherence, and humility to hit command-Z repeatedly the image was complete.

Hopefully the next round of Undiscovered Squirrels will be just as unexpected as their predecessors and, as always, we hope people will take the same amount of enjoyment from them as we get from coming up with them.

Armadillo Squirrel *Armadillisciurus squamosus

St. Louis Cardinals Fan Squirrel

As St. Louis residents, we have a lot of fun finding “The St. Louis Connection” and here at Squirrel Stuff, finding “The Squirrel Connection” is one of our favorite games as well.  Seeing the two combined in the these 2011 National League Division Series has our St. Louis family owned company in high spirits.  Even those of us in the office that devote more time to drawing squirrel & birds than watching baseball are excited to see the Cardinals in action at the up coming World Series.

Because the Cardinals are on our minds and Rally Squirrel in our hearts, we developed a Rally Squirrel Mugs that reads “Rally Up!” to cheer for our home team and remind us of how life can always surprise and delight us in comical new ways.  Rally Squirrel: Rally Up! Mugs are available at www.squirrelstuff.com
