May Popups

Hello, hello, happy May! Currently writing this on the train to see my mom for mothers day and thought what a good time to send a letter off! Happy Mother’s Day to those who celebrate! Now let’s get into it!

I wanted to announce here that I have a month-long pop-up at Hive and Forge in Salem, MA! Super cool place filled with local artists’ work and cool and creepy things you’d hope to find in Salem! If you’ve never been, I highly recommend it, it’s located pretty close to the Witch City Mall, and during this season, it means there’s ample parking! We love to see it!

Next up, I wanted to talk about a new product I have! Currently, it is only located at the Hive and Forge pop-up, and that would be my Nano Shrimp Charm Blind Boxes! Based on the real shrimp, the Neocaridina! A shrimp breed that comes in many fun, different colors! I’ve been wanting to make more little keychains/phone charms as well as expand what I can do with packaging, so I thought a blind box would be perfect! I actually make all the charms by hand with the use of shrink plastic. Don’t get it twisted, though. I’ve made sure these little guys will last by sealing the art with resin (don’t worry I wear a mask and gloves, I love these shrimps, but I’m not dying over them!). I decided to hand-make them so there could be a lot of variety right away. I’d love to make them into PVC keychains one day (the funny little puffy keychains). Depending on how these guys do, who knows what will happen! Here are some of the shrimp you could get!

The next couple of items I wanna make would be Tamagotchi themed! It’s their 30th anniversary, so I’ve really been feeling the hype! I’m thinking a print a sticker sheet…ideas are cooking. I’ve also recently started watching Chainsaw Man AND Death Note (crazy combo), my favorite characters from each show right now are Power and her cat from Chainsaw Man, and I’m digging Rem and L from Death Note. You might see some stickers and such inspired by those shows! If you ever want merch of a show, recommend it to me, and if I get enough into it, you might see some new products!

Alrighty, we’ve made it to the end of my ramble! Market season is in full swing, and I’ve been working hard to get into my faves! Here are my confirmed upcoming markets!

Thank you so much for reading this far! Excited to share all these updates and silly things! Until next time!
