Something a little bit different from my usual. I was imagining a version of The Nutcracker done with triadic ballet inspired costumes, and started thinking about what the doll himself might look like in such a production. Honestly I've never really been a huge ballet person, but the story of the nutcracker, and this avant-garde costuming style both really intrigue me

This Griffin would make a great personal guardian that stands confidently by anyone’s side that needs its protection.  The majestic creature stands at 11” tall.

Crochet pattern is available at my Etsy and Ravelry stores.

🌿✨ Meet the Big Mushroom Cat ✨🌿

I made a giant crocheted mushroom cat. Why? Because sometimes your brain says “make a forest cryptid with whiskers” and you just have to listen. 🍄🐈‍⬛

This chunky fungal feline is part plushie, part sculpture, and 100% ready to stare silently from your shelf like it knows secrets about the moss kingdom. It’s soft, it’s strange, and it smells faintly of vibes.

💫 Perfect for:

– Cottagecore corners

– Goblincore shrines

– Fungal familiars

– People who whisper to toads

It’s one-of-a-kind and up in my shop now 💕

💌 Feel free to share this little weirdo with someone who’d love it too!

Gut Feelings 85cm x 200cm x 21cm Fabric, thread, yarn, beads, faux pear, chenille sticks and fibre fill

"Gut Feelings" is an attempt to be more candid about personal emotions and trust my gut, despite my sometimes hypochondriac tendencies. The term “hypochondria” was born of a medieval term for an area of the abdomen, and has evolved to be more widely accepted as an anxiety disorder today.

In China there is a saying that those who can tolerate spice wears the pants, so from a young age my mother would feed me lots of chilli. This inevitably gave me a stomach ulcer and chronic stomach ache, and almost twenty years later, I would learn that spiciness is not a taste but a form of pain. Unsurprisingly it facilitates the expectation that women are supposed to digest their feelings and suffering alone, especially since the capacity to endure hardship is considered a virtue in Chinese culture. And when women do speak up about those experiences, their accounts are usually dismissed.

In the 1600s, Robert Burton, the author of "The Anatomy of Melancholy", essentially saw hypochondria as “windy melancholy”, and gave an extensive list of gassy symptoms. Centuries later, modern scientific studies would demonstrate that gut health does indeed affect mental health. Thus "Gut Feelings" employs scatological humour to ease the tension of the messy, chaotic moments of existence, while also addressing the not-so-funny gendered connotations historically associated with hypochondria.
