cardholders + phone grippies! 🍮🌸💫 + patreon update (Patreon)

Hihi Patrons! I wanted to share the new products I've been designing for the May shop update! We have some super cute cardholders and phone grips coming soon~ Note that the cutlines are not final because I actually did them wrong!! Haha cutlines are the enemy... they take me hours and I've been learning so much with the pen tool this past week. T w T

I was super inspired by my love for Sanrio this month!! I've wanted to really dive into creating cute mascot merch again like I did when I initially opened my shop with Bun + Pan a couple years back~ so here are some new friends!! They don't have names yet, except Dumbii and his dumbii juice. I really love bunnies and Pompompurin so I wanted to make my own special characters. If you have name suggestions let me know~ 

This month's theme rewards are delayed but I'll aim to finish sometime next week!

Next month's theme will be retro video games (game boy consoles, etc) with either plants or fanart (Earthbound + more ??) or both - it'll be a surprise. 

Thank you all so much for your patience with me this month. This has been the busiest and most stressful month of my life and I appreciate the support SO much. My cat Kojin is doing much better, although his blood disorder requires long-term treatment and so far we've had almost weekly hospital visits and two emergency stays. Everything has been incredibly costly so I also took a month-long freelance job in May to help pay the bills. On top of that ordering new products requires a lot of capital so it's been a LOT this month haha. But now that things are (hopefully) settling down, I'm excited that the shop update is finally coming together and everything is almost ready to be made. I'm also finishing up on the tote design which will be shared soon too!

On that note, the secret shop will be updated with the big restock in May once I receive all the sticker sheets! Any outstanding orders will be fulfilled this weekend (along with an extra B-grade LUCKY gacha sticker sheet as thank you for the wait)! 

Thanks so much for sticking around and I'll see you all in the next month~

Sending you all lots of love!

♡
