Pebble Spirit(s) 🪨 I started sketching out different types of designs for a pebble guy and decided I'd just keep them all 🤷‍♀️ Which one is your favorite? #Kawafitober26

some things are so hard to get in germany but at least we have some decent stationery and art supply brands (and drugstores)

also love my Prismacolor Premiere for their delicious creamy texture and combining them with gouache but the special thing about Polychromos is that I can just walk into every art store around here and actually try them 🙏

I love coloured pencils so much. Not only using them but they also have the best smell and the best sound of all art supplies, pure sensory bliss ❤️ Also running my fingers over several of them lying on my desk, such a good feeling!!

Felt the itch to do some traditional art, so I went to my fave stationery shop (Rosa Quitte) and got myself some new Polychromos, including some of the very new colours :>

our heating hasn't been working since last thursday and the landlord just keeps on saying that it's getting fixed but i'm cOLD I'm usually a person who thrives in lower temperatures and doesn't mind the cold much but I am working at my desk in several layers and a hot water bottle and blanket 🥲

I for one abandoned twitter because it was instrumental in helping the current group of monsters get elected and had already begun to fester into a hateful, rage inducing cess pool of slurs. So when people say "haha you left because of AI and now-" no, a lot of us didn't.

Lol asked Polaris for compensation or at least a guaranteed spot for next year because of the missing table but nothing 🤡

the reply sounded a bit like "yeah but it all went well in the end" yes because my artist friend was kind enough to let us burrow her table because my helpers went to the fair in the morning to do all the work for me because my artist neighbours were so kind to help squeeze the extra table in

okay that's all, i need to get back to resting, there will be better quality pictures in the shop update to come ✌️

On friday I didn't sell any apparel and got a bit sad, then on saturday I sold very few but then took most of them back home again so that I wouldn't have to carry so much stuff on sunday.... and then on sunday I actually had to turn people down who wanted some because I didn't have enough!

I took some reels and pictures of my new things at Polaris for Instagram and forgot to show you as well!!

what made me especially happy was that I had a bit of a loose bet with someone about whether or not the "never used chatgpt"-stickers would actually sell since they said there weren't many people left who honestly had never used it – and they sold really really well haha

I also love how much crafting is involved in my new stuff: pressing the shirt and bag prints, assembling the stamps and adding the dtf print on top, assembling the charms and hair pins and doing the embroidery on them!

I'm really happy about my new products since a lot of them were things I wanted to make for a whole while! I recently invested in a transfer press and making apparel is soo much fun. Making the tote bags was especially cool since I could make them from scratch with my plotter!

I already made stamps for my very first online shop waay back (remember tictail?) and ever since then I wanted to bring them back! There will definitely more since I'm simply obsessed haha.

Polaris was a wild ride (bad but very good too) and I definitively need to rest a bit, physically and mentally. I will take care of everything - my Patreon backlog, the shop update, etc - but I need to put my health first right now! Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by and left kind words ❤️

Thank you for your concern! We got a table today but the additional stress (and way too little time for setup....) really knocked me out.

Already worst Polaris, not only am I much too sick to be here, but my table is missing. Or somebody took it. I can only do my set up because a friend who will set up tomorrow is so kind to let me do it on her table in the hopes that I get a new table tomorrow morning. This 🤏 close to a meltdown

caught a nasty cold so I don't have the time/energy to do a proper con catalogue for Polaris, but I'll take pictures of all the new things tomorrow!! (if I seem a bit grumpy that's also the reason :'> ... barely hanging in there but my lovely helpers support me a lot)

Looking forward to you all ❤️❤️❤️

Ready for this adorable mini adventure themed stamp rally? 🌻 Come visit us at Polaris this weekend 💜 We're all in the arist alley in hall B4! @exozetart.bsky.social EG.173 @hnys.art (Insta) EG.229 @paraplyshop.com EG.245 @smallbizcat.bsky.social EG.124 #Polaris2026 #StampRally

For those who didn't see on patreon: September Lelomail preview will be further delayed (very probably until after Polaris which is from 9th til 11th of October) as well as shipping of August+September combined Lelomail! (I'm massively overworked and rly need to take care of my mental health :'>)

I think this might be the biggest shop update I ever did so far? I really hope you'll like everything (and that everything arrives before Polaris :'>)

Sorry for being a bit absent and slow with Patreon at the moment, I'm very busy preparting new stuff for Polaris and autumn shop update! Will be back soon :> (Also, reminder that August and September rewards will be shipped together, so don't worry if you wondered where your August Lelomail is!)

A little drawing to celebrate the joy of artist alley and the legendary bill money going all around the booths. Our wallet aren't much bigger but our heart are full 💜 (Thanks @sedeto.fr for helping me with the finishing touch on this drawing 🥰) #ArtistAlley #ArtistJoy
