Thank you all SO MUCH for your patience with these!
The shipping of the pins was super delayed which is why they only arrived now:(
BUT I have everything ready to go and we will have all the boxes ship out tomorrow morning!^^ I can't wait for you to get them!!
About the packaging: because of the wider washi tape I n...

I hope you like them!^^
The tape will be a little wider again, 25mm!
This theme is so wholesome and fun and the more I look into the idea and meaning of cottage core, the more I love it!<3
Update on the May rewards: The letters go out today, I'm still waiting on the pins but they are in Germany and should arrive ...

Special thanks to Sarah for the idea with the color scheme!<3
The Patreon art challenge for this month will be to draw something using these colors, bonus points if it matches the overall theme of cottage core too but it's not a must!^^
For the new people: every month, we do an art challenge where we all draw something following a...

I did some doodles before bed after a day of mainly packing rewards and orders!^^ But I also filmed some footage for a vlog today that is probably coming tomorrow or Thursday depending on how much more footage I get!
Do you like seeing sketches and updates like this?

Hey how are you doing?^^
I'm excited to show you the board for Junes theme! My idea for the character concept is an author living in a small cottage and helping out in a flower shop during the weekends<3
I definitely feel the burn out from Mermay and am excited to get into warm and sunny illustrations again! Do you like the ...

We haven't done one of these in a WHILE and I miss talking to you!^^ Also there are some new people here and I think it would be fun to get to know each other more!
In case you haven't seen it on Discord, I'm adding it here too:
We will be talking, then playing some games tomorrow at 18:00 German time, that's 12:00 in New York!
I hope you are enjoying these!^^
Thank you all so much for your patience with me uploading here, I'm just super busy with Mermay as you probably can imagine:D

That means that there will be no ...

Do you remember her?^^
I still really like her concept and design and really wanted to revisit it! It's cool to see how my art has changed over the past 12 months and where I was able to improve!
The biggest difference probably is that I now pay more attention to composition and also make color sketches beforehand where I...

Hey I just got some new info and wanted to talk to you about that!
Some of you messaged me about your March parcel not coming in and I wanted to first tell you that there is no need to worry, they are on their way and will probably come soon too!^^
Many of the March parcels (the cute café ones which got shipped on the 8th of April) ...

I hope these are fun to color, I'll also be printing a coloring book with all my Mermay pieces this year, this coloring book will be on thicker paper for watercolors I think or mixed media paper!

I'm so excited to start showing you what I have planned for the rewards this month!^^
At first, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the washi tape for Mermay, everything seemed too boring or done before! But I remembered seeing this super wide tape with characters on it on Etsy and decided to give that a try!^^ And I think it looks real...

I've been busy with Mermay prep and then also packing up all the rewards so I'm sorry for not posting as much!
Here is my mood board for Mermay/ May! For what I have done so far this year, I tried sticking to a rough color scheme (like you saw in one of my last posts) and it has been really helpful...

I just realized, I haven't posted this one yet!
I imagine Teddy posting to Instagram a lot so that's where the idea came from!^^
Yay I'm so excited to share these with you!!^^
This months parcels will be STUFFED lol but I really wanted to make this theme special!:3
So the most exciting thing this month (in my opinion) will be the keychain! This is my first time making something like this but it was so fun to design it!^^ You might have seen Teddy rock it...

Like last month, I really wanted to work on a character again! So here she is: Theodora, or how her friends call her: Teddy (I chose this name to fit the logo hehe)
She likes coffee, duh, and also spending time shopping, taking selfies or listening to music!:3
While drawing her, I repeatedly used this pattern to draw her clothi...

For the A5 print this month I wanted something that would feel like a movie poster and I remembered that poster from Kiki's Delivery Service where she is at the bakery and looking kinda bored!
