now in theory if I made little note pads like this would anyone be interested? 🌷 with a better binding (higher quality glue lol) and adjusting the illustration of course, as this was just a test ^^

#It's on very soft paper it actually looks so pretty in person. I would have to source more since it's from a sketchbook hehe #As I've complained many times I've been unable to make new illustrations but I need to keep updating my shop.. #So something like this using my old illustrations could be nice ^-^ #That hot glue is from the dollar store lmao I would use something else entirely so it would be nice and pretty

Hello - I'm a fellow artist and would love to produce my own prints, and was wondering if you could share what printer you use?

Hi there! I have a canon pixma pro 200! I should warn you it’s very expensive, I was lucky that a local store had one with a very steep discount. That said, I’ve had unnaturally awful luck with printers (going through 3 before this one each with weird and unfixable issues) and this one worked perfectly out of the box and, knock on wood, I have never had to play with settings or troubleshoot anything.

Stores will usually have a return policy or offer warranties so honestly I would recommend looking into what’s close to you and doing research on the printers they have in stock. If it turns out the quality isn’t what you want (or if it doesnt work. lol.) you can return it and try another ^^

If you want to try selling your art before investing a lot of money into a printer I know a lot of artists get their work printed by a printing house and shipped to them— I’ve never done this and wouldn’t know where to begin but its worth looking into i think!

Best of luck!!

#Genuinely my luck with printers is so wack i get stressed even just thinking about it -_- #Ive used Epson and hp. The epson i actually tried for years trying to resolve colour issues and nothing worked #I have friends with an Epson (different model entirely) that had the exact same issue they couldn’t resolve either #Hp was a nightmare idk the program was awful and it was…. Unpredictable #A tech-savvy friend of mine informed me that hp has a lot of issues in general and recommended i just take it back #I also tried a cheap canon which i cant quite remember what was wrong with it.. i think the overall quality was just not good #Anyways revisiting the printer memories has unsettled my nerves lmao #But i wanted to offer some help/advice/experience beyond just saying which printer i have ^^;

Current personal work ^^ it will probably be a belt cover.

#It's a softer blue irl... #I dont know if anybody will want something with the word pluto on it honestly but well I just couldn't get the word out of my head #You can see the colour test I did for the lambkin one on there too hehe

Hades Carrying Eros to the Underworld

Inspired by a painting of the same name. (Richard Westall) When i seen the original i felt the concept had… a lot of potential. I’ll leave it to you to search it up, it’s much different than what I’ve imagined. ^^ Prints are available in my shop! In this colour (rose) and terracotta.

Winter transitions into Spring 🌷 The text reads:

He wakes, melting snow reveals a robin blushed chest, in his arms he bears a bouquet of sleepy tulips, healing from Winter’s last icy kiss. He forgives his thawed chamber, now nothing more than a pool at the edge of his memory, for its guiding hibernation taught him the true warmth of the sun. (MMXXIII) Hail Spring; his radiance in full bloom.

I've been working on summer, but she isn't ready yet. Hopefully she will be by the end of August! In the meantime though, spring is available as a print in my shop.

Artists can see the rude or inconsiderate things you say in your tags when you reblog their work just so you know...

#Like it wasn't that bad but still why say that. Maybe ill use the block function generously on this account though #Think what you want or say it in private but when you're saying it somewhere the person gets a direct notification for. It's just rude...

Lambkin ✢ Handmade headdress "….You have the sweetest scream. My lambkin."  White Mask Varré is one of my favourite characters in Elden Ring. I’ve come to adore his pet name for our tarnished— “lambkin”.  The aesthetic of the headdress, quite clearly, went in its own direction. The pink lettering is very close in colour to the ecru base, in certain light the pink “blushes”. The edges are trimmed with antique linen lace and accented with soft pink ribbons. I even tea-dyed the fabric backing to match!

This is an entirely hand made item: the body is needlepoint (tapestry), stitched to a fabric backing and accented with lace. The ribbon tie can be removed as well! This headdress will be available April 19th at 12pm EDT

Hi! I just looked through your shop and everything looks so beautiful <3 I was wondering if you’ve ever considered making any of your prints into clothing (like t-shirts for example)? Along with the gorgeous handmade chokers, I’d like to wear your illustrated art as well.

Hello!! Thank you so much! 💐

I have sort of, last year when I made fabric patches I put some aside to stitch onto some clothing that I thrifted to match them ^^ unfortunately my sewing machine broke for good, so I haven’t been able to revisit the idea (and i could hand stitch them on, but I feel like a sewing machine would be much more secure and washable)

That said I hadn’t really considered putting them on plain t-shirts, and I’m not sure where to begin doing that! I couldn’t print them myself, and I’m out of the loop with what websites to use for that sort of thing (if anyone has some recommendations plase let me know <3)

I will definitely start looking into that though! It’s very sweet to hear that you’d like to wear my illustrations, thank you so much for taking the time to say so! 💗🌷

#Tshirts would also be size inclusive. Ill do some researching today ^^ but again if anyone has suggestions please let me know!

#Textile #egl #egl fashion #………..Elden ring #…..white mask varré…. #Those two tags are jokes imagine scrolling in the Elden ring tag and this taking up space #Thanks everyone for letting me blog as I made it ^^

[sleepgarden]

Unfortunately I don’t have much of my egl wardrobe with me here, and what I do have doesn’t coordinate well at all, so I’ve settled on this normie dress for photos ^^; but I wanted to share the headdress in motion to showcase how the pink “blushes” in the light!

Some photos first, great posing (I didn’t feel like putting makeup on):

And a small video:

It still doesn’t fully come through, but it gives some general idea. In some light the lettering is almost invisible ^^ This is my first completed personal piece of the year I think, so I’ve been excited about it.

#Unfortunately the ribbon that ties it on is a little short. A sacrifice paid for the cute bows #I mean maybe it’s not that short and all of my hair under this wig just made my head a little big hehe #I did stitch the bows on in the end. I tried multiple ways to use pins but they were an eyesore no matter what I did #Anyways ideally I’d be wearing exactly what varre wears with headdress on top lmao.. so covering my face is a little on theme

[sleepgarden]

It will be up sometime tonight or tomorrow ^^ all that's left is photographing and making the listing.

#I'm not sure if I should pre announce the listing and have it go up and a later time. #I'm also still considering pricing >< it's literally the most difficult part #I'll see. Maybe I'll make the listing tonight and have it become available at 12 pm tomorrow #I'm in est. #Regardless hope to update sooooon ^^ I was just excited to get it finished so I wanted to share!

Im considering making the ribbons detachable, here's some more photos ♡ I'm so in love with the colours of this one. I need to restock as much of this ribbon, yarn, and lace as I can... Also, a photo of the tapestry in the light to show how soft the pink is!

new headdress I'm working on for my shop. Lambkin, the pet name varré gives us in elden ring, is such a cute word. The pink yarn is very light against the cream, it's hard to capture but it "blushes" in light, almost disappearing under certain angles and light! Accented with antique lace, and it'll have a gorgeous matching ribbon and bows.

I haven't posted any personal work in a while so here's something I'm taking time on for myself ^-^

#The ribbon is new and same with the yarn so that isn't hard #But that lace is vintage/antique so I'm unsure of its availability still.. #I've been working on two commissions with black thread/yarn and I'm afraid the cream has picked up some of their fluff ;__; ...... #It's hardly noticeable but it's bothering me so much. Lesson learned tho 😭 I'll have to clean it once it's finished but it's fine. #Anyways I suppose I'll mount the bows onto pinbacks? I'm worried about the size being too large tho and peeking.. #Worst case I'll use some safety pins lmao #Okay end of blog. Figured this is literally a blog though so I'll allow myself some project rambling if you guys don't mind too much ^^
