Crazy busy weekend and TWO New Hueforge Collections Rolling Out This Week! (Click for Pics in the Post!) (Patreon)

Welcome to Monday! I hope you all had great weekends! Canadian Gamer and I were set up at Game Con Canada (Canada's largest gaming convention) on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and it was an amazing turnout. Huge crowds (despite some crazy stormy weather all weekend long). We had applied late for the convention and didn't think we would get in, but the organizers contacted us to let us know that a spot had opened up, so we grabbed it. We are so glad we did, because we had such a fun time and an incredibly successful weekend, and we can't wait to do it again next year!While we didn't have our preferred 10'x10' booth size -- only half the size at 5'x10' -- it's incredible how much you can pack into a small space! Our hueforges were a hit! Being that it was Game Con Canada, the biggest sellers were video game related (we were reprinting all our Zelda prints all weekend long!), followed up by Pokemon and Marvel prints, and (of course, being in Edmonton) our exclusive Edmonton Oilers prints (Go Oilers Go!). It's always so nice to watch people browse and pick up your work, marvel at the texture and detail, and then love something enough to buy it and put it up on their own walls. It's also so rewarding as hueforge creators to see reactions and get that feedback in person!So it was a bit crazy over here in the week leading up to the event. Our printers were going nonstop to build up stock. I didn't have as much time to work on designing new hueforges last week, but I did manage to create a new collection to have on hand just for the convention: a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle set of hueforges (pictured below). I'll be releasing these TMNT hueforges here on Patreon over the next while, and there will also be a set of TMNT bookmarks up on Makerworld shortly.The second hueforge collection that I put together is in response to some requests from Patreon members for more nursery and kid decor. My Adorable Animals hueforge collection will be rolling out this week here on Patreon and Makerworld too. This first set of hueforges are jungle and safari themed animals and they are SO ADORBS as my daughter says.As a former Pinterest Mama, I can tell you from my own experience that moms LOVE to decorate their baby and kid rooms in themes. Way back when I was expecting my first, I went all out and did up his room in a jungle and safari theme. I painted his room in complementary colors, sewed up curtains with safari animals on them, found safari themed crib sheets, bought up lots of safari stuffed animals, and hung up pictures on the walls (if I had been able to hueforge back then, these would have gone up there!). Seventeen years later, his room has certainly changed (it's all cars and video games now), but he still has his massive giraffe army of stuffed animals he's collected over the years, and whenever we create a giraffe hueforge, he grabs the first copy off the printer ("I'll take that, thank you!") to keep in his room somewhere.These prints will be releasing over the next while between here and Makerworld, so keep your eyes open! As always, I welcome your feedback and suggestions, so feel free to comment or message me directly.Have a great week!
