New pin drop! These new strawberry flower pins are now in shop. They’re around 1” in size, hard enamel and gold plated with one post on the back. Check these adorable blossoms out now in my shop. My cyber sale is ongoing and it applies to these cute new pins too. ❤️

Are strawberries my favorite fruit? They’re one of my favorites. My actual favorite fruit is jackfruit, but it’s hard to make a jackfruit look as cute as a strawberry. Even the jackfruit flower is a little underwhelming, but looks aside, jackfruit is seriously delicious. 😄 On an unrelated note, I got a bunch of cool new goodies in yesterday. Looking forward to showing them off starting next week. 👀✨

It’s that time of year again when everything gets pretty busy for me, so I’m gonna drop and go, lovelies. Have a wonderful weekend and I’ll talk to ya’ll soon! ❤️

Slippery When Wet pins are now in my shop. These liminal space pins are hard enamel, gold plated and have two posts on the back. Each pin is around 2” in size and are dedicated to the nostalgic aesthetic of the 90s.Check these out in my shops now! ❤️

A companion to my Dream Machine pin released earlier this year, Slippery When Wet is an homage to liminal spaces, where Dream Machine was dedicated to the dream aesthetic. Liminal spaces are images, videos or interactive experiences that evoke feelings of nostalgia, emptiness, familiarity and eeriness. There’s a subset of liminal space imagery focused around indoor pools, often filled with water and flooded with pinks and greens. There’s a “core” aesthetic term for everything, it seems and this visualization is no different. Poolcore tends to go more for feelings of soothing and relaxation rather than eeriness.

Have a lovely weekend, friends. 🥰

New pins! These Artists Support Artists Sketchbook pins are now available in my shop. These are gold plated, hard enamel with two posts on the back and measure around 1.5” in size. I wanted to celebrate the amazing art community, including supporters, collectors, fans and artists themselves. Stay fabulous, friends! ✨

I was really excited to release these after teasing the artwork a few weeks ago. I had some ideas to make it into a sticker as well, but decided against it for now because of how many stickers I still have that need to be discontinued. So maybe these will be become stickers next year, but for now, they’re available as these gorgeous pins. I’m a big fan of how the screen printing came out.

Check out these pins and others in my shop and I’ll talk to you lovelies soon! ❤️

New acrylic charms! These jellyfish wind chime charms are now in my shop and they’re super cute and fun. I wanted to turn my jellyfish clear enamel wind chime pins into acrylic charms to see how the different medium handled them and the acrylic looks so good and handles the transparent elements of the design a lot better.

These crystal clear acrylic charms are around 4.65” in total length, including the key chain attachment. Speaking of, the key chain attachment is a super cute pink dyed metal with matching pink rings. This whole charm is seriously so cute and I’m obsessed with it. You can find these up in my shop now. 🥺❤️

These seconds quality color changing chameleon pins are available in my shops now! They use a material that turns from yellow to red when the pin gets cold (below 60F). When warmed up again, the pin turns back to yellow.

These are seconds quality but are still really nice. They’re soft enamel, black nickel plated and have two posts on the back. And they’re really fun to play with! 👍❤️

New pin, lovelies! This Cosmic Boba Tea pin features moving glitter! This pin is around 1.75” at its longest side and is hard enamel with gold plating and two posts on the back. This is the first time I’ve made a pin like this with this quicksand glitter that moves and flows when you shift the pin around. And the effect turned out so good! Also, it’s really fun to play with, I love shifting this pin around and watching the pretty glitter pieces move and flow into place. There are tiny glitter pieces and a few larger pieces meant to look like delicious, cosmic boba. You can find these pins available in both my shops now. ❤️

What’s your favorite boba tea? Mine is taro milk tea with brown sugar boba, but I also really love Thai milk tea with brown sugar boba. 🥰

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, lovelies. I had some new goodies come in today and they are super cute! I’ll be releasing them starting next week, so I’ll talk to you then! ❤️

I was super excited for these jellyfish wind chimes pins! They’re clear enamel with some screen printing with a little bit of hard enamel on gold plated metal. There are two posts on the back, and these have a little dangle charm attached. At the top of the main body, is a little open loop that you can use a small lariat to turn this little pin into a dangling charm. You can also attach your own tiny charm if you’d like too! ❤️

These adorable little jellyfish wind chime pins are available in my shop, I have tons of seconds of this pin and only a couple of standards, both of which have already been claimed. The seconds still look pretty good if you don’t mind some minor defects like drying lines or waviness in the clear enamel portion. I love the look of clear enamel, but I keep running into problems when having them produced. Which is why I’m thinking of turning this cutie into an acrylic charm, if you all might be interested?

Tri-Annual Seconds S4le for is now LIVE! Check out my sh0p for tons of seconds quality pins. Seconds quality pins are pins that have some minor defects, they are still fully functional and the defects aren’t noticeable most of the time. Seconds pins are great for wearing or pinning to a backpack or ita bag, basically if you want to wear your flair rather than just display it then seconds are a good choice! Check them out in my sh0p now.

This s4le is set to run from now until October 27th, and I’ll be doing restocks of seconds along the way as well. Also, some popular seconds that have returned…

- Lucky Bags (these are great for Holiday gifting or stocking stuffers)
- Color Changing Chameleon and Octopus are back in limited numbers
- Astrolabes (I have a small number of seconds quality Astrolabes too)

Happy seconds s4le, lovelies! I have some stuff to finish up before I go rest, so I hope you all enjoy the goodies!

New sticky notes! These are beautiful, 100 sheet vellum paper sticky notes featuring my Starry Cityscape design. Each of these notepads are 3x3” in size and each sheet has a low tack adhesive on the back meant to help you stick these to pages in your journal, planner or notebook. These also work well to write notes on and stick in textbooks or books as you read and study! These beautiful notepads are now available in my sh0p.

I have another design of these vellum sticky notes coming out soon that I hope you’ll all like! These don’t stick very long to vertical surfaces, so if you were planning to slap them onto a mirror or window, you may need to reinforce them with a piece of tape. If you’re using these in a book or notebook, they’ll stick quite well and for quite a while. ❤️

Just a quick reminder that my final Tri-Annual Seconds S4le is going live this Friday, the 22nd! I’ll be putting up the countdown for anyone who wants a reminder to be sent tomorrow. Otherwise, please mark your calendars, lovelies. This last seconds s4le is gonna be a big one! ❤️

Talk to you lovelies soon, I hope you like these sticky notes!

I feel like I needed this message in my life for the past year or two. Small art businesses who rely on social media or marketplaces to make ends meet have been feeling a lot of pressure lately. I doubt very much that it’s just me, but the nature of these platforms can make one feel isolated with their problems. These pins are now available in my shop. Due to the nature of clear enamel and screen printing, I have quite a lot of seconds to standards this time around. The seconds, therefore, are immediately available too and are a pretty good deal if you don’t mind some minor defects on your pins. 👍

“Is it me?”, “Has my art gotten stale and boring?”, “Am I just not good enough?”, “What am I doing wrong?" These are just some of the intrusive questions that have floated around in my head during a period of bad engagement. It’s those times when I feel like nothing I make or post is going anywhere or good enough anymore. It’s hard to remember that it’s not just me and whatever this funk is, it’s being felt by everyone. I’m hardly alone because the one thing I’ve seen continuously throughout the past year or two is how no one seems to see what they’re putting out into the world anymore. Whether it’s encountering someone’s post on my feed or someone sending me a DM about how their posts seem to disappear into a void these days. No, it’s not fair, because our work is valid and our work deserves to be seen.

I may not have the answers to whatever is wrong at the moment, but I do have a drive to keep going forward because going back or stopping isn’t really an option in my mind. I designed this as a pin initially and wanted it to have clear enamel with a lot of screen printed elements. I’m not sure about how it turned out, especially given the sky high rate of seconds, but I like the message behind it and will pursue it as an acrylic charm at a later date. And if you all like the pin enough, I’ll do another batch even if I do end up with another huge amount of seconds. I mean, I like the seconds pins because I have to be less fussy about them. 😄

Anyway, I kind of ramble in these image descriptions but if there’s something I wanted all you lovelies to take away from this post, it’s this: your work matters, your work is valid, and it deserves to be seen.

New bookmarks in my shop today! I have four new book tracking bookmarks available now. These are beautiful, double-sided non-laminated bookmarks printed on a sturdy 400gsm card stock featuring a stack of 19 books on either side of them. Each of the 19 books in the stack has a blank spine where you can write in the title of the books you’ve finished reading. These bookmarks are not laminated, so you can easily write on them. This makes them a great way to make and keep your reading goals, track your reading habits or use them as a keepsake of what books you’ve read.

These bookmarks are around 9” in length and each have an overall color scheme; pink, purple, green or blue. Each bookmark is named for a famous historical author and the tassels on these are made from a lovely chainette yarn that I have waaaay too much playing with. The stack of books is the same design on both sides but the books and the mugs are a different color scheme. There are 38 blank spots for you to fill in, 19 on each side of the bookmark. These are durable as they’re a pretty thick card stock and will hold up for a while as you use them as bookmarks and write on them.

I’ve been working on these for a few weeks and I’m excited to see how you all like them. I filled one out as an example, but I’m in the process of filling out an actual one right now—except I goofed up while I was filming me writing on it because I misspelt the book title but you know what? Nobody needs to know… 👀 Anyway, I found it really fun to slowly fill out my bookmark with the novels that I’ve read. And I like to look back on the previous titles and think about the stories. 🥰

Anyway, please check out my sh0p for these bookmarks. They’re a cute, practical and beautiful gift for the book lover in your life—or maybe you love books too and want a keepsake of which books you’ve read over a period of time!

Just wanted to throw down a reminder that my Labor Day Sale is currently ongoing and will end on the 6th of September! You can get 20% off your order total during this event. The sale amount is reflected in your cart. ❤️

Did you know all these butterfly pins are all seconds units? I also have a lot of them, which is why they’re available as seconds even though my Tri-Annual Seconds S4le isn’t currently happening. Usually my year-round available seconds pins are there because I have a huge stock of them, either from a less than optimal batch or the pin has been around long enough to accumulate a ton of seconds quality units. In either case, I need them out the door so I have more room for new pin designs! 😊❤️
