October Update Blog (Patreon)

Hello my lovely Patrons 🧡

It´s time for another monthly update blog post!

I hope you had a lovely October till now! It´s currently sooo warm here in the mountains when the sun is out that it nearly feels like summer again.

This month was full of work for the Christmas shop update, and I finally started making YouTube videos again! 

I'm also currently a bit more focused on TikTok than Instagram. So if you are interested in more video content, follow me there:https://www.tiktok.com/@annalunakdraws 

Now I want to show you some of the products I made this week, that will come to the shop in November.

I made two new designs for pouches. From now on I will make the pouches with heat transfer vinyl which lasts much longer than the printed transfer paper I used before. So the pouch designs are one color now:

I also found an Austrian manufacturer for DTF Transfer prints and plan to test them for future pouches and maybe T-Shirts 😊

This is how the red tote bags will look with the heat transfer vinyl:

I still haven´t printed the white ones because I´m thinking of using the printable transfer paper for them but I´m not sure which design to use to I will make a Poll soon for that here.

Then I also made my first ever acrylic Christmas ornaments! I really looove how they turned out! There will be 16 of these available in my shop. 

And theeeen I also made my first-ever magnetic bookmarks! I haven't shown them anywhere else so you are the first who get to see them!

There will be a lot more magnetic bookmark designs available. In particular Christmas ones. It makes sooo much fun to make these and I think they look very very cute in a book 😊

This month was a little bit stressful with preparing for Christmas and also working on some client projects. Also, next week will be tough because then I will bulk-print all the products for the update. But I somehow also love this time of the year because I´m the most creative during this time. 

I recently made an illustration for 5 book edges for a company that sells book special editions. It´s a german company called "Bücherbüchse", and this is their website: https://buecherbuechse.de/

This is the design I made for the Green Valley books from Lilly Lucas:(unfortunately, it´s only available in german)

I´m so excited to hold them in my hands soon ✨

And now I´m also working on another book project for that company 😁

If the Creative Club Patrons are interested in the process of making such a book edge design let me know and I will make a How-To Blogpost about that topic! :)

I hope you enjoyed reading this little update! I know it´s not a lot but I haven´t done much more then working on Christmas products this month 😅
