Coming off the back of the mini fox rugs, here’s the full sized version! This guy is around 30” across, and I used the same pattern as my smol foxes. This guy was a breath of fresh air to work on. The big blocks of colour are so satisfying to tuft out, and I got some great practice carving the shapes to clean them up!

It’s pretty much an unspoken rule in our house that, if I create a cat piece, I need to create a fox piece to balance it out. So please enjoy these mini fox rugs! The one on the right feels especially puffy somehow, despite being the same design haha.

A new month means a new sticker design! This month we’re celebrating the most “doing her best” mom in urban nature, the hard-working pigeon. So what if her nest is two sticks and a burger wrapper and she feeds her kids nothing but stale popcorn and french fries?? At least she’s trying!
I had so much fun working on this. Pigeons are just too cute! I’d love to do a full sticker pack of rainbow pigeons and really explore their different colour patterns some day.
This sticker is available on my website and Etsy!

A new month means a new jumbo sticker! I’m not sure why I wanted to paint an axolotl (besides them being adorable), but I’m glad I did. This little cutie was really fun to draw and paint. Her goofy little feet are just too good!
This month’s sticker is extra special, because the exclusive sticker is holographic! This axolotl friend is covered in holographic bubbles that sparkle in the light and really complement her rainbow colours.
Jumbo, holographic axolotls are available through my Ko-fi and Patreon pages, or you can buy one directly through Etsy.
Standard 2.5” vinyl versions are available through Etsy and my website.
August Exclusive JUMBO Sticker – Axolotl! Read More »
Have a very vibrant raccoon! I had a mighty urge to paint a trash panda, and there was no one around to stop me. I really enjoyed painting the sharp, coarse fur on the face, and am very happy with the loose fur texture on the body. Striking a balance between sharp and fuzzy details is one of my biggest struggles, but I feel happy with how it turned out on this piece.
There are two versions of this little guy, because I couldn’t decide what to do with the negative space in the background. Do you prefer the purple or natural wood background best?

Another month means another exclusive JUMBO sticker! This month we have the most charming reptile escape artist, the mourning gecko!
Mourning geckos are really cool, because not only are they one of the few social species of lizards that actually do best when housed in groups, but they’re parthenogenic! That means they can reproduce without males. (Which is really good, because males are almost non-existent in this species.) These little ladies are also really good at regrowing their tails, and they don’t end up with post-shed nubs like most species.
The exclusive 3.5” jumbo sticker is available only for the month of July through my Patreon and Ko-fi pages, or you can purchase it directly on Etsy!

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!

Pacman frogs are such charismatic little guys!
I couldn’t leave these dramatic little blob friends out of the screm pin collection. (I mean, their name literally comes from them having little, round bodies and huge mouths.) I’m not even sure I exaggerated this guy at all… The whole species is pretty much a cartoon character.

Another month, another new sticker design! It’s no secret I love frogs and will take any excuse to paint them. I wanted to experiment using black in my rainbow pieces, and I could not imagine a better subject than a rainbow version of a ventrimiculats blue leg frog! These frogs’ natural markings are so stunning that just changing up the colours feels almost like cheating.
This design is available as a jumbo 3.5” vinyl sticker this month only! You can grab one through Patreon, Ko-fi, or Etsy.
Regular 2.5” vinyl stickers are also available on Etsy.

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?
