You may have seen me working on this design on Instagram and I thought this version was so cute as a coloring page! There are lots of details to fill in and I tried to add as many different types of vegetables as I could.
It makes me think of all the summer vegetables that are currently growing in the garden. My partner has planted up lots...

The next restock is full of SOO many new things! I actually severely underestimated how much I made, which is why it's taking me longer to prepare everything.
The restock is planned for Wednesday May 31, 18:00 GMT+2. Patrons in the Hatchling tier and up will get 30 minutes early access, and I will send out the password at ...

It's been a long time since I made any art specifically for The Popcorn Parade (TPP), but I haven't forgotten about it. In fact - I just started working with Makeship to make another plushie!
Makeship reached out to me to do another campaign, and I wanted to do another plushie + snuggle sack combo! So I doodled some ideas to figure out wha...

I got some more time this month to make stuff, so I can now take pre-orders for these little chickens ^^
These chickens are intended to be vases and are a little bigger/taller than your average cup, but they are food safe so you *could* technically use them as a mug instead.
A heads up that I'm looking at how I can make this into a...

Okay so this is a totally different kind of video, but I've been obsessing over my plants these past few weeks. I saw a video about how if you put a plant on a plank, it will encourage it to grow really big leaves.
So that's what we're doing in this lil studio vlog - re-potting a plant with a plank!
I'm pretty excited about thi...

You may have seen me working on these earlier this month, and now I'd like to share them with you! :D I've been trying to design some artwork to put at the studio since my walls are so bare, and these are 3 boho inspired posters I came up with.
I made these as sketches to eventually translate onto big canvases one day. Hopefully I'll find ...

I feel like I've been in a bit of a dry spell with drawing. I've been mainly just doodling ideas for ceramic projects, but I did manage to do a painting on the weekend!
I'm playing with the idea of making vases, hanging planters and wall planters. I absolutely love how hanging planters look, but I'm also scared of hanging any kind of plant...

So a looong time ago, I asked on Instagram if people would be interested in my work if some of my pottery were manufactured instead of handmade.

You can add a piggie pattern to anything you want with this month's sticker sheet :D The stickers have been designed without a outline, so it will seamlessly blend into any journal, laptop or water bottle like it was part of the design.

It happens to be my birthday! :D I'm turning 33 and happy to be in my 30s. I wish we saw more positivity about getting older in the media, especially for women, cause the truth is that things only get better!
