We will not be processing orders between April 18 -May 9th!

Fur (rabbit/bunny/cat) orders made by mid-March should ship by April 17th.

Same applies to Dragon orders with the exception of F-02. We’ll do our best, but orders made for this style from today onwards might not arrive until late May.

Thank you to everyone for your support; we’re doing what we can to narrow the queue, but our 4-6 weeks processing time for popular items might not get shorter until after Fanfest (we’re working 2 events among other obligations).

We appreciate your patience and look forward to joining you there! πŸ™πŸ»πŸ’–

Restocked our OG sticker and figured we’d give an update!

It’s a bit too early to determine when our Fanfest order cutoff date will be. At this time, we are estimating mid-March, but some extra popular items (such as F-02 horns) have such a long queue that we cannot make any guarantees.

They didn’t request us to pre-bend these, but we are curious

Realized it’s been a month since we last posted here; have been busy bees! 🐝

We’re ahead of schedule on fur orders, but we bumped processing time back to 4-6 weeks due to the Dragon order queue. We appreciate your patience and support! πŸ™‡

Thank you @turtlesmithy.bsky.social / @malindachan.bsky.social for my Halmarut horns!

A perfect green!

Introducing Lae'knaught, my FFXI adventurer!

Favored mercenary of Jeuno, warrior bound by Odin in defiance of Altana, and a ranger who loves collecting shiny rocks. She's an absolutely menace.

We’re adding this color option to our other dragon listings as well, but it is already available for our F-02 horn set and tails

What a year. Started off with some burnout, and going off into 2026 feeling refreshed and ready to work on new cosplays again. Spent most of the year working on myself and other hobbies, both new and old.

Thanks for sticking with me, y'all. ❀️

Credits will be in the next post, there's so many 🫣

A side by side of me on the left, and Lycelle on the right. I'm waving at the camera, wearing a festive red sequin holiday jumper, and my brand new fabulous Viera ears made by Turtle Smithy! Lycelle is wearing a festive gold holiday dress, standing in front of Starlight trees, and looking gorgeous as usual.

I wasn’t expecting we’d have a nice photoshoot for Spice and Wolf at ColNorth, so I didn’t bring my fruit basket to conserve car space. Luckily I had a single apple left among our road trip snacks though LOL 🍎

I’m thankful for where I am today, with friends and family who support me and my craft.
I’m thankful for my husband @turtlesmithy.bsky.social for taking that journey alongside me. Life as an artist can be difficult, but it is less so with you. ❀️

Orders placed before Black Friday will be shipped by December 17th. This is a great opportunity for those wishing to prep cosplays for XIV Fanfest, but please be aware that orders placed during the holiday sale might not be shipped until January.

Thank you for your patience and understanding! (2/2)

We will be hosting our yearly 15% off sale during Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday.

Due to the timing of FFXIV Fanfest ticket sales, our processing times for our handmade dragon and fur accessories are longer than usual for this time of year. (1/2)
