I shared this on my FB page but never here. Whoops I shared this on my FB page but never here. Whoops! I had this idea in my head awhile back and wanted to make something cutesy and cartoony. Because therapy sessions sometimes involve staring at your tarantula rearranging dirt for 45 minutes. 👀😂 Or, in my case- watching Fuzz be... Fuzz. Sometimes i'll have a glass of wine and just complain to her and she meanders over like... I am here. Sometimes, she will even sit on her duck and stare at me. I also have a simplified ornament design of this. Eventually, the files will be available when I have a moment to breathe. ✨ Multi-layered design 🎨 Hand painted details 🕷️ Made for fellow spider enthusiasts #tarantula #spiderlover #arachnid #tarantulalove #spidercommunity #tarantulasofinstagram #exoticpets #laserart #layeredart #handmade #smallbusiness #makersgonnamake #spiderdecor #tarantulakeeper #newdesign #madeinmassachusetts #madeinmassnotmassmade #madeinmass
I can finally share this piece now that it has bee I can finally share this piece now that it has been gifted ❤️ This was a custom multi-layered pet memorial created in memory of Jasper. Photo converted with hand drawn elements, laser cut, and hand painted with layered details to bring out texture, depth, and personality. Memorial pieces like these are always special to create and one of my favorite kind of projects. Pets leave paw prints on our hearts, and I’m honored to help preserve those memories in a meaningful way. #petmemorial #petportrait #dogmemorial #custompetportrait #petart #dogportrait #petremembrance #rainbowbridge #pettribute #doglover #petlover #memorialgift #customartwork #personalizedgifts #layeredart #lasercutart #laserengraving #handpainted #woodart #handcrafted #makersgonnamake #artistsoninstagram #supportsmallbusiness #shopsmall #smallbusinessowner
I had these done up for easter/ spring, but unfort I had these done up for easter/ spring, but unfortunately never posted. Anyways- some more hand drawn designs that I turned into earrings! There is something about vintage bunnies I think are cute. Although I have to admit- bunnies kind of freak me out. 😅 Just the quickness and stealth. Me trying to be productive: 😐 Me designing tiny bunny outfits instead: 🐰🌸✨ No regrets honestly. I think they came out cute! *I also made an easter spider set I have to try and find. 🤣 #springaesthetic #bunnyart #bunnyearrings #floraldesign #handmadeearrings #artistmade #smallbusinesslove #illustrationart #wearableart #cutebutclassy #cottagecoreaesthetic #springvibes #natureinspired #easterdecor #softaesthetic #handpainted #makersofinstagram
Meet Popcorn 🧡 The earring set I was posting about Meet Popcorn 🧡 The earring set I was posting about last week or so is finally completed. I had it done, but didn't get around to posting cause, well, work & migraines. I didn't get around to posting my other scheduled things for Easter- but better late than never. I'll be scheduling them out this week. Based on a true story about Popcorn and her garlic worms. OH and she is IN LOVE with her ceramic tubby. And now… she’s earrings. On both clear and matte white acrylic! Hand drawn and sublimated by me.

What started as a doodle of Popcorn (yelling at me What started as a doodle of Popcorn (yelling at me for garlic worms, of course 😂) turned into these little pieces. Just a glance at a couple samples I did off the press. Loving this matte acrylic from @cmbacrylic 😍 It works great for sublimation! Seeing my original designs come to life as real products will never get old—this is always my favorite part of the process. This is where I check and tweak things- sometimes colors, sometimes I need to re-work the actual shapes a bit (and allow more of a border). I'll probably condense the hang holes for these more and expand the border a little for wiggle room. These will be samplers for some keychains and earrings. It always cracked me up when I would do shows and people would buy my Popcorn merch and my photos that I had set out as examples/ education on axolotls. 😅 #illustration #originalart #procreateart #artistsoninstagram #characterdesign #digitalart #handmadebusiness #smallbusinessowner #productdesign #custommade #stickershop #keychain #customkeychains #axolotl #axolotllove #axolotlart #lasermaker #makersgonnamake #creativebusiness
The continuation of the post prior! Before pressin The continuation of the post prior! Before pressing… 👀 As I am slowly posting my WIPS and behind the scenes things to try and stay active on here. This is a sublimation sampler of my original designs —testing placement, color, and how everything translates before turning them into finished pieces. It all started as a doodle of Popcorn (yelling at me, obviously 😂), and now it’s working its way into actual products. Popcorn may be the star… but Fuzz made a guest appearance 🕷️✨ And before anyone says anything— she is baby. she is sweet. she has never done anything wrong in her life. ❤ #sublimation #sublimationprinting #heatpress #designprocess #illustration #originalart #procreateart #surfacepattern #makersgonnamake #lasermaker #productdesign #creativebusiness #smallbusinessowner #artistbusiness #axolotl #axolotlart #behindthescenes #ᴡᴏʀᴋɪɴᴘʀᴏɢʀᴇss #workinprogress #workinprogress❤️ #sublimationproducts #sublimationprinting #sublimationwear #sublimationgraphics #sublimationbusiness
