New Merch Type – Clay Cat Pins!

merch, pet portrait / / / , ,

Here’s something new I’m testing out. This year, I’d like to get more into making my own merch instead of having it produced in a factory. It’s slower, but slower can be very good! To start out, I made a batch of kitty magnets!

These are made from air dry clay using stencils I designed and 3d printed myself. Then I painted them with acrylic paint pens and sealed them with a high gloss varnish. They have neodymium magnets, so they’re VERY strong. If people like these, I’d eventually like to open custom slots for pet portraits, and maybe make some as pins instead of magnets.

You can find these guys here on my Etsy shop: https://squidtartsart.etsy.com/ca/listing/4443907407/handmade-clay-cat-magnets

New Pins – Axolotl and Fluffy Kitty

merch, pet portrait, watercolor, watercolour / / / , , ,

Continuing on from the gecko pins I introduced last week, I’ve also made some kitty and axolotl pins! I try to have a variety of types of subjects so more people can find something they like.

These guys are 2″ across and look super vibrant in person. The axolotl looks a little more subtle since it’s such a long and squat design, and the round kitty is more of a statement piece.

New Wooden Pins – Tokay Geckos!

merch, pet portrait / / / , ,

Following on from my last tokay gecko post, I decided to turn these viscous cuties into wooden pins! Now you can carry your angriest friend with you wherever you go!

(Their bumpy texture is a reflection of my terrible photography skills, not the pins’ quality. They look very vibrant and feel very silky in person!)

You can pick up one of these little guys RIGHT HERE!

New Patch – Sparkle Every Day

merch, pet portrait / / / , ,

Surprise! It’s another patch!

This is legit my last patch for a long while, but I just could not make a patch of Scuzzy without also making one of Sparc. Sparc is the world’s most happy, confident cat; and he wants to remind everyone to share their own spark with the world!

These patches have some metallic embellishments which make them extra fun.

You can get your own Sparkle patch here.

New Merch Drop

After a teaser last week, I’m super excited to finally be releasing these new items: Pens, patches, sharker keychains, and stickers.

Three of the four of these are new types of products for me, and I’m really thrilled with how they turned out. The pens are probably my favourites, because I’m a hopeless pen addict, but the patches are also really cool and so representative of my Scuzzy cat haha!

Screm Pins Out Now!

merch, watercolor, watercolour, wildlife art / / / , , , , , , ,

Here it is, the Screm wooden pin series! There’s my classic opossum design plus a new trash panda, void cat, and pacman frog!

These guys are hard to photograph, because the wood grain catches the light. They look more flat and graphic in person. They also have a delightful subtle pine scent! The smell fades over time, but it’s my favourite part of packing wooden pins haha!

When you scream into the void and the void screams back!

This space kitty’s pose is heavily inspired by my cat, Sparc, at breakfast time. I created this little galaxy kitty to be part of a screm pin collection, which should be available soon.

3D Printed Seal Coin Bank and Planter

3d printing, merch, wildlife art / / / , , , ,

Swinging back to 3D, I was in need of a place to keep spare change, and decided to create a seal coin bank. I just cannot resist their squishy shape! It was pretty tricky to get the hollow shape and twist-off plug with Nomad Sculpt, but it worked out in the end. And of course, once I had the model, I couldn’t resist making a planter version!

I tried a new filament with this planter, and it doesn’t transition between the colours quite as well. I also used resin for the bank seal’s eyes and painted the planter seal’s eyes without adding resin. Which look do you prefer?

Rainbow Celestial Space Seal Enamel Pins

merch / / / , ,

I’m so excited to share these little guys with you: Space seal pins!

It’s been a long while since my last enamel pin, and these little space seals turned out so beautifully. They’re made with rainbow plated metal, so their colours shift and shimmer and feel very space-y. They’re 2” on the longest side and make a nice little statement piece especially when they catch the light.

These guys are available through Etsy

And here on my website.
