graduation gift: tiny graduate narwhals in college colors

tiny narwhal graduates in custom college colors

I’ve been playing with fleece swatches and tiny stitches for weeks, and I’m finally ready to announce: tiny graduate narwhals in custom college colors!

These are so fun to make. The bright colors bring the tiny narwhals to a new level: each pairing of hues gives the little guys an entirely unique personality.

I started with my home state, Virginia, with Virginia Tech facing off UVA in the banner photo. But who’s next? I can’t wait to make these in every shade of the rainbow.

The graduation narwhals make a great gift for college grads, of course, but I think they might be even better suited for high school graduates who can spend the summer scheming and dreaming with a college-colored narwhal by their side. They probably already have enough t-shirts from their future alma mater – and if they don’t, they’ll get more for free when fall comes. What they don’t have is a tiny narwhal with a graduation cap.

These have been in the works for awhile, but I’m so excited to share my new dressform pendants with you!

After creating my laser-cut camera necklaces, I was hooked on the idea of laser-cut jewelry. I’m pretty sure I dreamed about wooden dressform pendants for weeks at school before I managed to find the time & patience to sketch it out. The dressform is a classic symbol of creativity and design, and I love it in wooden form.

They’re available in four patterns: textile woven, chevron, skinny chevron, and polka dot; with choice of antiqued copper or antiqued silver chain.

I hope you love these as much as I do! Use coupon code “NEWDRESS” for 15% off your order, now through Oct. 31!



the perfect graduation gift: narwhal with a graduation cap

nothing says Congrats, Grad like a tiny narwhal with a graduation cap.

I’ve had graduation on my mind lately. And when the idea to make a tiny Graduation Narwhal popped into my head, I couldn’t shake it.

So here he is, a very intelligent narwhal. He’s so proud to wear his cap. Of course, it pins on… so when graduation day is over, the cap can be easily removed.

“Hi.”

I couldn’t resist taking a class photo… because what good is a graduation cap if it doesn’t go airborne?

The tiny narwhals with graduation caps are available in the Fluffyland Shop. Quantity is limited, since I don’t have too much time to spare… but I had to make a few, since they’re just too adorable.

Hopefully now that this idea’s out of my head, I can finally finish the last of my homework (ever!) !
