Lanyards have Arrived!

I'm a Futurepunk nerd irl and I've enjoyed that it's started crossing over into the things that I make. The original lanyard design I didn't quite know how it would turn out, I used to produce all of my own lanyards in house but this being such a massive order it would have taken me ages to do - so I opted to outsource it to a local company here in the UK - and I'm so happy I did. Their printing quality and sewing ability is spot on and sets off the pink/blue on the badge (which is why they a...

ART // Patreon Badges - Full!

EDIT: 5 of 5 Badges have been claimed by you guys! Once the Patreon ones fill up the next round (Round 3) will have more guaranteed slots. =)

We have Soda, Sandy, Glenn and Pyre!

I've had a lot of interest in all of these on Twitter, and today will be a day of making these so that the whole set is completed - I'm still waiting on Lanyards before anything can get posted out.

This has been something that I thoroughly enjoyed, and as before I have guaranteed spaces available...

Patreon Packs for July - October almost finished!

Good morning guys!

I'm waiting on the last parts to arrive (the packaging is still coming for the charms, I didn't have the right cello bags and it's pointless using the bigger ones with extra tape as it'd be super wasteful @_@) but I'm just about ready to yeet them all across the globe!

There will be different levels of what is going out, so some of you may have larger packages than you're used to seeing because of the wait from the last packs. Because I had to leave for the US...

Charms are coming!

So with the ability now to shake things up properly and to do more fun stuff for Patreon I've invested into making acrylic charms which will be a new monthly perk on a trial basis. I've spent time into designing, the production is underway as I type, and the fastenings arrived Monday so once they arrive on my doorstep I can start the tedious process of putting them together.

I am so excited about these, I'll have now gone full circle in my furry art work. Octobers wolf and cat will be...

WIP // Mid Year MAY Stickers going to $10 and up!

It's that time of  year that I'll be putting together my birthday pack which goes out to all patreons in the $10 and up range!

Patreon has CHANGED how billing works so any new faces MUST pledge in April to obtain May's rewards otherwise you don't pay until June. While its a brilliant change for most people folks that do what I do and mail items has to push for new faces the month before.

What I've changed is how I will be doing my MAILED packs, some of you...

Enamel Pin Reveal Time!

I don't often get to do video editing and I have to do all of the work from my phone as its sadly more powerful than my PC is, but I kept saving and altering yesterday and this morning and we finally have a video! XD

We also have a release date of February 13, 2021 at Noon PST. These will ship from Nevada so you US folks will likely get them first. 

Christmas Commissions Open!

Happy Holidays! While Christmas is next month, I've cleared my queue, finished Patreon packages and started the designs for next months packs (which are pretty cute XD), I'm ready to accept new pieces for the run up to Christmas. This months queue has two lists to it, one for personal commissions (not gifts, which I'll still take on and get done in a timely manner) and Christmas Gifts which will be sorted by priority, however Christmas commissions will be given a certain number of slots depen...

Christmas Packs, Completed!

Thanks to every one of you for being part of my Patreon family, and I am now finished putting together all of the packs! Everyone at any tier is entitled to them, so if you're a $5 patreon, I just need your address and I can finish your packs address labels.

Once you get your packs you are able to open the purple outer layers and inside you'll find a Christmas card and a box. You can choose to open the box, or wait till Christmas, but once you open the packs you are able to message me...

LAST CALL / Patreon References Needed!

Hope you're all doing well!

If you haven't submitted your references to the previous post, I ask you to please submit a character of choice for the Christmas run, the character must be something personal to you, and your own design.

Reference request will close on Wednesday, 11th of November and all missing will not be included in the Christmas  art.  Your addresses will need to be up to date by the 30th of November. If you're wondering where the packs are, this month t...

Mad Owl Labs is now LIVE!

The second part in this insane endevour with Robert is now live!! We are just starting out the facebook group, but anyone dropping in would be incredibly welcome. ;___;   I'm terrible with adding others to groups and shamless self promotion T___T but sharing the group around would be amazing.
 

Christmas is coming! (I know, too soon)

As Christmas approaches, like last year, every single Patreon will be getting a Christmas gift in the post!

While I won't be doing a calendar this year, I've just ordered my bits that will be arriving in the next few days for me to work on.  I've decided to always start Christmas in November, so my November packages which will be going out later in that month than normal, should arrive before Christmas. You can open the packages early if you fancy, or keep them and put them und...

Art & Music Vlog #1

I've decided to give video editing another try with Adobe Rush, and edited this completely from my phone. It's sad to a point that my phone is more powerful than my PC is, BUT I'm chuffed with this one! I'm trying hard not to make mistakes in editing, and getting inspired from other etsy artists on youtube for what people may like to see.  T____T This took a while to put together but at the same time I love how relaxed it is.

This is this months packaging and art creation, with s...

Patreon mail is go!

A photo of the mail going out this round as well as etsy. My hands are tired but worth it!

Twitch Theme, Get! And News!

---> https://www.twitch.tv/Lapres

So it's been a fun time playing in photoshop over the weekend! I spent time to figure out what I wanted my stream to be, and really dived into how I wanted the layout to look. I know a lot of streamers go between way TOO busy with things on the screen and too much information being thrown at you that it really takes away from the overall experience. I've studied other twitch strea...

New Base coming July

Really enjoyed trying a new base on the iPad, so I gave it a whirl with how the line weights work and I actually quite enjoy it and think it balances characters better. ;_;

There are only two styles in this, one with hair mane and one without - it's fairly simplified BUT they don't have to be edited and are saved as transparent PNGs as some folks aren't as keen with having to erase lines and some others can't open my other linearts on their iPads due to the layer restrictions on certa...

Patreon ASMR

I like making calming videos, this one is packing up a few Patreon packs earlier. They'll sit in a mailing bag until Monday before posting to ensure safety T_T

I like listening to paper krinkling so I figure I'd share! XD

LAPRESNO Sticker Set

Come down the rabbit hole with me this month with an extra sticker set! These will be printed as Matt stickers.

You have the option of opting OUT of getting this one if its too ... awkward and you'll get one of the Bearies sets.

One cheeky fanart to pop in the post. ;D

4 Stickers here, Sliding into your Dms, Quiet Nook, Blatherin' and Down The Rabbit Hole text.

April Sticker #1

The sticker will be textless, but will come matt as I haven't been able to get more of my laminate yet - it's been ordered but isn't here yet SO I may have to send out all stickers as matt this month, and depending on what happens over the next few.

More designs are coming! I wanted to toss a fanart in with this batch.

Other parts that will be changing is I am going back to envelopes rather than boxes for this month, and the winner of Aprils give away will be getting a mini mys...

Procreate: Untitled.

I can't think of a title for this, there are  a TON of different things I could put it as, but I'd rather leave this open for interpretation in this version.

Art is amazing in so many ways, to convey an emotion without words, but you might see an image in a different light than I would and take something else away from it.

A self portrait of my internal struggle at the moment, but I'm remaining optimistic and keeping my head screwed on straight. While I have my own anxiet...

Congratulations Ahmenset (Skully 666)!

I've videoed the selection process and it is currently rendering. Next month will be a Mini Mystery <3 

Ultrabox Prep, ready!

I'm working in order of tiers to make it a bit easier this month, so to start off Ultras are now compiled and packed up. This doesn't include the new Ultra with the welcome pack as that was done earlier. This small video is just a portion of what I've taken today and will continue on to do Master and Greats next to post out later in the week with the new Drop and Go system.

That will save me so much time and I am super happy that I can finally just top up a Postal Business account eac...

Day 1: ASMR

Day one. Folks dont usually get to see what I do during prep days, so I figured (maybe a little too late in the day as I already prepped the prints and what not) I'd share a little bit into what goes into it.

Playing with my phone as an editor, and I physically couldnt see my sewing machine. IM SO SORRY.  Duster at the ready, I had no idea it was so dusty. ;^: And two, yes I missed a section where I needed to add text, phone wont let me upload anymore as I've reached my export li...

Patreon 1st Year Anniversary!

This month is my first completed year here and as such Patreons including a mailed sticker to the the Greatball tiers, Master and Ultra tiers are getting a print in the post as well as a thank you note from me! You have to be opted in at the Greatball tier to receive this so please check your information before the 6th!

My mystery bag will be pulled Friday, the 6th of March! It's my biggest give away yet. Good luck guys!

Tha! k you for being with me this year, and here is to th...

TW: Thank You Cards

While I may not post a lot of what I'm doing with TimberWillow (I think if you'd like to see the behind the scenes of it, I'd happily share!) I've made up some example cards to see if I'd like to use them in my shipping mailers. I've been researching and trying to up my packaging game, moving from cello to glassine (biodegradable and compostable material) and got some new very lush paper to work with.

Still not there with where I'm happy with everything, but I'd probably say I'm about...

February Sticker Release!

This month is Ghibli x Pokemon Cross Overs! I want to provide some fun characters but drawn in my style, so for this month we are going with nostalgia!

+ Master Balls get a random sticker in their monthly mailer, one of the 5.
+ Ultra  Balls are eligible for Sticker King which gets every sticker I make during that months release as well as traditional artwork (or for this month) a swap to a digital Chibi piece  that can be used in the future to make printed goodes for tha...

Lappys Art Menu!

I spent the morning doing a new sheet as I've recently had questions about what I did,  so hopefully this is easier!

NSFW is only available to Patreons (excluding Reference Sheets).
The printing menu are all available!

Rainy Thursdays Video

Some pieces I've made since the start of the year, plushies are going well and I'm looking forward to opening them.

Tried to see how my coloured sketches worked as stickers and happy with the end result. 

PillowPyre

Really happy with how she turned out! Sewings getting better the more I am practicing. Pyre is a medium sized pillow.  

Not sure how to price these yet, need to suss out cost per unit per fabric, supplies and what not,  but will hopefully have that sorted this week or next. 

Free-To-Use Shaded Caribou! (With Boba!)

Happy Holidays!
It's been 5 years since I've made a F-2-U holiday base, so to spread holiday cheer I've made a simple lineart for everyone to use!

Read me has the information needed for artistic license. 

Merry Christmas from me, to you. <3 

Patreon Post is on its way!

To celebrate my first milestone goal I've made a special Boba sticker and a golden shiny metal card to mark the occasion!
