Hello friends, it's been a while! It's a busy time as life's tides attempt to sweep me around, not to mention getting ready for spring and summer markets! After stressful family illnesses and the death of my car's transmission, I'm back on my feet and ready to show everyone what has been in the works over the past few weeks, so on to the announcements!
First, the start of market season for the year! I will be appearing with a selection of my tabletop gaming gear at the Delcon Game Swap tomorrow in Drexel Hill, and there will be a few new items with me this time (see below for a sneak peek!) Events for the rest of the spring and summer are still getting lined up, but the next confirmed one is the Punk Rock Flea Market in Philadelphia, which my table will be at on April 2nd.
Now for the new arrivals to the shop! This time the additions are all on the gamer side of
things, but don't worry, new crochet designs (and maybe some cross stitch) are on their way! Starting today, the site will feature detailed maps perfect for printing or for digital play on sites like Roll20, Foundry, and Owlbear Rodeo. The library of such maps will continue growing over time, with a subscription available to alert you to when new ones come out. My intent with these is to eventually be able to take requests for custom maps, but that's a little further in the future.
Up and coming designs next! There are a few fiber art patterns in the works just now. My wearable cosplay horns and goggles sets have a finalized design that is in the process of becoming a digital pattern, and the physical items will be making their debut at the punk rock flea market.
The featured physical items from this past winter, the evergreen earring caddy and the snowed-in beanie, will be available for everyone to make at the end of the summer, along with hopefully the knight's helm.
A design I haven't shown off too much yet is still in production, but I'm hoping to have that done by fall - a hooded scarf with horns on the hood, and rpg class designs on the scarf bit. So far I've managed to make a lovely Tiefling Rogue design (in bi-pride colors, because of course),
but I intend to create designs for bards, warriors, mages, and clerics if I can figure out a design that doesn't call to mind real world religions. These designs are done in overlay crochet, and finished projects will be included in appropriate markets, though this one will likely be an option for custom orders as well.
Last but not least in the designs, creatures! The dragons that popped up in the fall will have their own pattern in the coming months, aimed to be just in time for Smaugust. Some other fun critters are in the works, but I've been working on so many projects that the Possessed teapot and Rambit designs aren't in physical form just yet.
And finally, Stickers! The first of my digital art designs is now live in sticker form, available now in the shop. I'm intending to come out with more of these as the summer goes on, so stay tuned for updates.
As always, thanks for checking out the site and for your continued support! I hope to have more fun designs and news for you soon <3
