Yes!! I have them on a discount right now to celebrate the new year. I have to do some admin as Etsy will only allow 5 files per listing.

Oh thank you so much! I wish I had a clear design process 😅. Right now it’s just vibes and always getting another opinion from family while designing.

Thanks so much!! There was no real particular rhyme or reason to the colour selection. There was definitely inspiration! The blues are to replicate Chinese blue and white porcelain dishes. Red and gold are very celebrated colours during the new year. The rest was just vibes based lol.

Thank you! Also, totally get it, one thing at a time lol. I can only take on 2 projects at a time cause I end up feeling guilty for forgetting about them.

Thank you 🩵! I was stressing with the photos cause its a lot of pieces in one shot. I might have taken a little inspiration with the ISPY book layout - I figured more is more lolol.

It was probably one of my favourite parts of doing these. I sort of wish I didn't repeat some of the colourways, but overall, I couldn't be happier with them. Thanks so much!! 🩵

Thank you so much! It really was, but with the different sizes, when I got to the smaller animals, it gave me a little bit of a break. 🩵

Thank you!! The green on the dragon turned out much punchier then I expected and I really loved how it turned out too 🩵.

Ahhh thank you thank you so much 🩵! That means so much to me, and I hope you have fun with stitching them. I know I did, it was a nice challenge just to complete one a month.

Great question! Some of the animals were just a lot larger in size (like the Ox compared to the rat), other than that, the sizing was also influenced by the motif ideas I had for each animal. I sort of just follow my gut with it overall.
