Tie-Dyed Bendy
Posted by terrepruitt on January 15, 2018
In my last post I mentioned family, friends, and both Nia and yoga students giving me cat things or things related to yoga this past Christmas. I received a lot of cute things. And I received a lot of thoughtful gifts. I want to share another one. (I know I have already posted about a few.) One of my students gave me a Gumby. Do you member Gumby? He is very flexible and bendy. She said it was because she called me Gumby, although I don’t ever remember hearing her call me that.
He has a tie-dyed shirt on! So cute! She made a tie-dyed shirt for him. She actually “tie-dyed” it. At first I thought she just found some material that looked tie-dyed and then she used it to sew a shirt. But nooooo! She actually used pens and colored the shirt making it tie-dyed. For those of you who have never taken one of the classes you might not realize that I wear tie-dyed shirts. They are kind of like my “uniform”. So this was super cute. It made me laugh. We were going to lunch the day she gave it to me and I had to bring it into the restaurant to show everyone. I also wanted to share it with you because it was so cute.
I also have some Gumby facts because this particular Gumby is a 50th anniversary edition Gumby so the packaging came with interesting facts listed about Gumby. I can say that I really didn’t know that much about Gumby. So these were things I didn’t know about Gumby.
-Gumby’s TV debut was on the Howdy Doody Show in 1956.
-Gumby got his own show that year. The Gumby Show.
-The Gumby Show aired from 1956 to 1968.
-By 1966, Gumby sales break all records.
-It takes 1,440 still-frame pictures to make 1 minute of clay animation.
-In 1988 100 new Gumby episodes were produced.
-There are 214 Gumby episodes in existence.
-Gumby’s first feature film was release in 1995.
So there. Now you know some Gumby facts.
Do you remember Gumby? Did you watch him on TV? Do you remember his side kick?

My dad made a Gumby movie when he was young. It was a film in which he would turn the camera off and then move Gumby one step and turn it back on, repeat, repeat, repeat. I will have to see if he can still find it. It was awesome!
