Hey everyone ~ I hope you're all doing well on this rather tense day. I thought I'd share with you some bright little graphic illustrations from my sketchbook 😊
I made them with a copic pen and markers! It was fun to explore different styles without any particular agenda.
I'm currently working on a new video for (hopefully) tomorrow, but I've also been playing around with the idea of streaming some live drawing on YouTube. What do you think? I think it could be fun to hang out ...

Helloooo Patrons! It's already November - meaning a new month with new things and new stuff! I wanna go ahead and give you an update on what will be coming! 😊

Hallloo all! I wasn't sure if I was going to have any video ready today since I didn't have time to film/edit this week due to my new job... BUT I have this painting process I actually never shared and thought it would be the perfect time to do so 😁
I mention this in my vid, but I will have to go back to releasing vids mid-week again since I'd like to use the full weekend to film/edit. Hope that's okay ☺️
Anyhoooo - enjoy!

Hey patrons ~ I've been itching to do some creative work and thinking a lot about one of my favorite upcoming art challenges - Folktale week!
Folktale week is an art challenge where the prompts are released one month early and then shared sometime in November. It combines story, illustration and folktales to create some amazing (and often dark) works through the community 😁
I did it last year and di...

Halloo! Sorry I haven't been so active on here - the days after a shop update are always just lots of work with packing orders and not much time for creative stuff 😅 I've also just started my new job so... bear (bare?) with me as I try to find balance again.
BUT I did want to show you these new little mini magnets that will be coming to the store! So I got those little wooden charms done and made them into mini magnets, including some brand new guinea pig ones!
The birds turned...

Happy Sunday! I just uploaded the new studio vlog for this week, and I can finally show you the wooden charms up close! In this vlog, I even get outdoors into nature and find some time to carve a stamp 😂
I probably will be doing fewer studio vlogs now that my full time job is starting, and instead will be doing more draw with mes, tips/tricks/tutorials and other things 😊 Studio vlogs might come every other week instead as I need to figure out how making vlogs while working f...

Good morning everyone! I am so excited to share with you the new wooden pins! 😁😁 I got them the day after I finished editing the video for the shop update video, so I wasn't able to show them yet. But here they are! With their new packaging!
These are the wooden charms I ordered from Zap and I'm really happy with the quality of them 😍 This is such a wonderful thing for me as this will really help me in the long run 💕
I may list some in my shop ...

Yay! The October shop video is here and I can finally show you everything that will be available. Lots of new ceramics, spooky Halloween items, lots of guinea pig charms and some earrings that never got listed 😊
Thanks so much for your patience everyone - having this extra week to prep for the shop update has been so helpful for me to get into the right mindset again.
You're all the best! Let me know if you have any questions about any of the items 💕💕

Hellooo! It's Sunday, which means a new video! 🎬 This is a little different than my regular studio vlogs since it is a Draw with me 😊 So you can see my painting process while making these witchy cat paintings.
Let's hang out and doodle/draw/paint together while I answer your lovely questions! 💕
Also, I forgot to mention in the video, but these little original cat paintings will be available in the next shop update 😊
Let me know what you think about drawing/proces...

Hey everyone! I just wanted to do a quick check in and let you know that I've decided to move the shop update to next weekend instead. I've been scrambling trying to get this one ready, but am simply not ready 😶
I originally wanted to do it one week early so that it wasn't the same week I started my new job, but rushing this loved monthly update is simply stressing me out. I really want to prepare everything properly, and by moving it to next weekend, I will have mor...

The Sunday vlog is here! Some little montages packing your happy mail and showing how I make those little boxes for the wooden clips, which I don't think I'm going to be making again after this set cause they take soo long 😅
There isn't much drawing/crafting in this video, so it might not be everyone's cup o tea. More just a behind the scenes of running an art business. Enjoy! 💕💕
(The Q&A video will come at the end of the month!)

Hey Patrons 😊 I hope you're having a lovely weekend so far! I wanted to share with you some of the exciting things that I've been working on and give you a general art/business update.
Happy Mail- Your happy mail has been mailed out! Those in the Fledgling tier will have to wait though, as I still need to make your pin for the tier reward and will mail them out together 😅

Thank you so much for the suggestion of doing magic and witches! I started doodling and while looking through my work, rediscovered this piece I made that fit the theme perfectly 😊
I fixed it up and now have this month's happy mail prepared! It will include both a sticker sheet and a mini square print 🌟 🌟
October is my favorite month - there's always such a spark of creative energy that goes through the community and the colors of autumn are just so insp...

Hey patrons, I just uploaded a new video! This is about a week late, but I thought it would be good to share anyway since I was ping-ponging between doing Patreon or not for the longest time. And, in one of my vlogs from about a month ago, I said I wouldn't do Patreon... yet here we are 😅
This video style might not be your cup of tea as it's a lot of talking, but it's out...

Hello patrons ~ it is a big shipping and packing week! I will be sending out your September happy mail this week and will also be including these little transparent stickers for each tier to say THANK YOU for joining me in my first month on Patreon!
With the next month nearly here, I thought this would be the perfect chance to get your ideas for the next happy mail theme!
What sorts of stickers would you like to see for October? Remember that because of delivery t...

Yay! I just finished uploading the new September shop update video! :) You can get a closer look at all of the new items coming this weekend.
Now it's off to do all the prep work for the shop update - I'm feeling a bit behind! Would a video/blog post about how I prepare for a shop update be of interest to you? What kinds of content would you like to see? Tutorials, blog posts, tips/tricks, general life things? Let me know in the comments - this is our space to create together!

Hello birdlings! (birds? birdies? patrons? how should I address all you lovely people?) I want to give you a sneak peak of all the little things I've been working on this month that will be coming for the shop update on Sunday!
I've been working like mad to get these little costumed birdies and piggies ready in time for Halloween. I literally just made the piggies this morning so that I could film them for the shop update video 😅 which I will be editing in the next day or...

Hello birdlings! We're now on Patreon! I'm excited, scared, anxious... all the things!
I wasn't sure if I was going to launch my Patreon this month or wait until next month to roll around, but I thought it would be nice to hit the ground running and be able to connect with you as soon as possible so we can decide together what the October sticker theme should be!
Anyway, I just want to thank you so much for joining me here on Patreon. It's going to be a fun ride and we're going to do it...
