BIG POST: What's that? A SHOP DROP!? SKETCHES? YEAH!! (Patreon)

Hello, hello, hello, wonderful patron pals! How are you!? Are you enjoying this warm weather?

I have quite a few things to show you/share with you, so let's get right into it!!!

The obvious, of course, of course, I have finished the MOON ANIMATION! If you've been wondering where I've been... I've been doing this, just this lol! It's taken me HOURS and HOOOURS over the past couple of weeks, but it's done!! AHH, I am so stinkin' excited to share it with you all!! (did I mention that it's the postcard of the month! our first matching set!! + FRUIT STICKER SHEET WEEE - I'll share pics of both once they arrive!! 🧡)

Okay, but then, but then! I've been working on FINALLY re-opening my shop for my first big drop of the year. I know a lot of you have been asking about this, so I'm here to say that the tentative date for this drop is...

April 24th!! (April 23rd for Patrons 😌)

I have been preparing lots and lots of prints, stickers, the usual! Here's a wee preview-

Many prints from my little gallery show will be featured as well as a few oldies! I'll have more details and things as we get closer, but for now, you've got the date 🌱

I've been doing a bit of sketching this week too.. I know my backlog of sketches is LONG, BUT, I can't help it! I get ideas, and I have to scribble them down!

While walking about the trees this past weekend, a thought came to mind, "snuggling snails.." and, well, the sketching commenced!

KNITTING!!

Speaking of crocheting, I am still brainstorming little crochet/yarn makes I can start offering in my shop here and there! I know I've been talking about this forever, but I simply haven't found just the right thing yet. But, I did some sketching of some little crocheted tapestry ideas-

How am I to pull this off, you ask? Good question! Cross stitch? Crocheting/embroder atop a crocheted square/rectangle? Not sure, but I'm going to do some experimenting!! (imagine these as PILLOWS, maybe!?!?)

I'm really loving this billowy cloud/ foresty feel, so I thought I'd also sketch and explore a more detailed, fully-rendered version of the above sun! (reminiscent of the OG somber sun too hehe)

It has been incredibly windy and cloudy where I live, so I've been spending quite a bit of time watching the clouds move about, casting big shadows on fields below! Very inspiring 🥹

Alright, friends! I'm off to explore among the trees and doodle, doodle, doodle! I can't wait to delve into even more sketches and things. The big urge to create so many things is back! Yay for spring 🧡

Have the bestest, sweetest week! Talk again soonly!!! ⛅️
