✨Fern the green tree python – Pattern release & tester appreciation ✨ 🎉The updated pattern for Fern is now live on Etsy and Ravelry! As usual, there’s a 30% launch sale for 3 days for all my patterns on both platforms! Fern has been my best seller, but as my designing skills matured, I felt that the original pattern could use some updates. I am now perfectly happy with how the pattern turn out, and I am excited to share this with you guys. I have been blessed with talented and helpful testers on this project. They have given me many good suggestions, and have studied the pattern thoroughly and carefully. I am also so amazed by their work! Look at these vibrant colors!!

A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to read this post! I’m so grateful to have so many people who appreciate my designs, and I think it’s about time I make a little compilation of my current creations. I come from an ecology background and has worked with animals for quite some time before learning how to crochet. Since then, I’ve designed many wildlife plushies, especially of lesser-known species from Asia 🐾 I truly believe that artists can play a part in conservation by sparking curiosity and love for different animals. My goal is to share my love for biodiversity while also supporting myself enough to keep creating. If you enjoy my work, do leave a like or comment, it can really help small creators like me grow! 💕 - #crochetwildlife #patterndesign #crochetdesigner #smallbusinesssupport #crochetsparrow #crochetsnake #crochetbug

Fun fact drop! ✨ You can tell the gender of a great hornbill by its eyes and casque. I did my best to include this in the pattern, you will find instructions for both male and female colorations. I’m also fascinated by their breeding behavior. During breeding season, the female seals herself inside a tree cavity and relies entirely on her mate to bring food. When the chicks are older, she breaks out, seals the chicks inside, and joins her partner in gathering food. The trust they have for each other is beautiful. Sadly, poachers sometimes take advantage of this, capturing females while they’re trapped inside the nest. By refusing to support such trade, we can help protect them from this harm. Do you prefer the female or male coloration? Let me know which one you’ll be making! 🫶🏻 - Hornbill pattern is out now, and the 30% off sale is still on! 🎉 - #crochethornbill #crochetbird #greathornbill #patterndesign #patternrelease

It’s pattern release day! 🥳 You can now get the pattern for Papaya the great hornbill at 30% off in all my shops. I highly recommend purchasing from Ko-fi or Ravelry, where it’s a little cheaper 🫶🏻 💛 The pattern includes instructions for both female and male colorations. I made them as a pair because hornbills form strong lifelong bonds, and to me they symbolize love and equality in partnership. A huge thank you to all my testers. I truly couldn’t have finished this pattern without you. Your support, feedback, and encouragement made this journey so much more fun, and I’m incredibly grateful for each of you 🥹 @whimsi.kraft @somnis.creations @cozycreationsbychristy @alexiaa.craftss @asholotlalchemy @1.crochet.loop @madebyhoneyrose @uriscreations @froggycreationsbymw @darn_cute_yarn @knottyotter.craftco @tyorigami #crochethornbill #crochetbird #greathornbill #patternrelease #patterndesign

Big update!! 🎉 First of all, thank you to everyone who has supported me by purchasing my patterns. I recently reached 100 sales, and that’s a huge milestone for me. I'm so grateful to every single one of you 🥹 At the same time, the increasing Etsy fees have been a growing burden, so I’ve been looking for alternative platforms. After using Ko-fi a few times, I truly feel it’s a great option. From now on, you can find my patterns on Ko-fi, Etsy, and Ravelry. I encourage you to shop on Ko-fi or Ravelry, where prices will be slightly lower. To celebrate this milestone and the upcoming release of my hornbill pattern, I’m hosting a 3-day sale! Use code HORNBILL30 to enjoy 30% off, or use the direct link in my bio to secure the discount. All links can be found in my bio 🩷

Update: Testers have been chosen and contacted! I ended up choosing 4 more people than planned as more people applied than I expected, and all are so talented 🥹 I'm sorry for not being able to choose everyone but I will try to include you in the next call! ✨ Tester Call – Tundra the emperor penguin ✨ I’m looking for 12 testers to help with my newest pattern, Tundra the emperor penguin!

Sharing all these goofy drawings to show that we can all draw! If you're thinking of designing, I encourage you to draw everything out before you start crocheting! If you are a designer, do you draw out your designs too? Share your experience and let us learn from each other 🩷

Happy release day to @les.creations_de.camille ! I'm so excited when I get to test her Charmiz, the leopard gecko. I chose to make mine in orange as the gecko I first fell in love with is an orange leopard gecko. The pattern is no-sew, and simple to follow. It comes in both English & French. It encourages us to play with colors and make our own unique gecko. I made many color changes with a lighter orange to mimic the spots of a gecko. For the eyes, I painted them blue with a huge amount of glitter - perhaps a little too much? Hopefully it looks just right! Go get your pattern now and make your own Charmiz!! #crochetgecko #leopardgecko
