DROP 5

I can’t BELIEVE we’ve already done FIVE heckin drops! I’m so grateful to everyone who’s believed in what I do and for making this a dream come true to be honest. 
Okay so this drop’s theme was HALLOWEEN themed!! My favourite holiday~ So here’s some real tea about running a small handmade shop… you have really big ideas but unfortunately only some ideas are attainable based on the margins that are those of a HANDMADE shop. Yes I can easily look up some manufacturers over seas to make these ideas come alive, but right now… I find so much joy in making all the plushies and stickers by myself. And I think you guys do to. But maybe perhaps one day in the future I’ll design a permanent plushie that could be made from manufactures hehe. We’ll see!

Anyway, so for this drop I initially designed the bean to be an orange coloured bean, with features that resemble a jack-o-lantern! And since the removable accessory designs did so well in the past, I thought that it’d be cute to have the pumpkin bean come with a removable ghost sheet; so that you could choose to have it displayed as either a ghost bean or a pumpkin bean. But with many trials, the ghost bean idea flopped as I quickly realized it would be too much work for the time and money I put into it. So I had to scratch the ghost sheet idea >_<. This made me super nervous because I decided to take a big risk this drop by making FIFTY beans to sell (I normally sell 25) … (Note from the future: thank you so much for selling these beans out… given my worries/insecurities for making double the amount I normally make. You humble me.)

The stickers for this drop brought me so much joy. I’ve always wanted to design a sticker sheet and so I did it! I also designed 2 waterproof emotes that were inspired by very cute Halloween themed Twitch emotes; peepoWeen and peepoCandy! I also designed some Among Us characters as if they were dressed up for Halloween live on stream! Unfortunately, I couldn’t sell these as intended (due to respecting wishes that the developers of the game made), so instead I gave them away as freebies for each order!!

This drop was also super special to me as I released my Sailor Scouts as Witches stickers!!! I am SO proud of the design for these and how they came out… It’s literally combining two of my favourite aesthetics~
