Found these tobacco hornworms on my tomatoes and decided to keep them, haha. The 2nd one made a cocoon yesterday, but I'm not sure if the 1st one will make it since has some stuck shed around its abdomen that I can't remove... Hopefully it's fine though
Moth socks are now in my store (kittendrumstick.etsy.com)! Please read the sock description for care instructions and sizing if you're not sure if they'll fit. I also added some new FFXIV things as well!
Moth socks coming soon! I gotta do some testing on these before I can do an accurate description write up, haha
Glowy green luna moth pins are finally back in stock!! I still got some purples left if glitter speaks to you more. https://kittendrumstick.etsy.com I'm thinking about designing another moth pin for later this year. What's your favorite?
Finally getting some stuff in to do a big store update hopefully later this month!! I'll have restocks of moth pins and charms, plus new charm designs and the addition of prints to my shop! #artistsofinstagram #instaartist #artistsoninstagram #finalfantasy #moogle #moogles #ff14 #finalfantasy14 #ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv #finalfantasyonline #carbuncle #ffxivart #ffxivfanart #moth #lunamoth #insects #goldfoil #prints #pinsofinstagram #enamelpins #pins https://www.instagram.com/p/B-kN54JJPy9/?igshid=sjkgnw6odoeq
Restock update: Remaining green moth seconds grade pins are in my store! You can get them at https://kittendrumstick.etsy.com
I'm working on getting these reprinted so I should have more standard grade pins in late February/early March along with more Crystal Exarch and Fat Cat keychains (I didn't expect those to sell out so fast, so I'll be getting extras, lol). I'll also be working on a new pin later this year and will try to get prints added to my store soon, too.
Sorry for the lack of updates lately! Kupocon happened and the Tumblr app barely works for me, so I've mostly been on Twitter. BUT I did add new stock to my store, including some previously sold out stuff: http://kittendrumstick.etsy.com
I am, unfortunately, sold out of Ignis pencil pouches for the time being (twitter got my last one) but will try to get more soon!
Here's a clearer photo of the moth pencil pouches! Look at all them poofs. If you're not going to STL Comic Con, these will be for sale online after this weekend! #moth #moths #fairy #fairies #silkmoth #fantasy #cute #pastel #pastelaesthetic #bugs #buglife #bags #pencilcase #pencilpouch #art #artistsoninstagram #bugart #fluffy https://www.instagram.com/p/By-YM8IpZ0C/?igshid=1q3i3fx2lh70c
I'll get real pics of these later, but I made a handful of pencil pouches in case you needed a bag to store your pencils, or... your Ignis. I also got a few cute moth fairies and Sonics for the three Sonic fans left in this world. I SEE YOU AND APPRECIATE YOU. I'll have these at STL Comic Con and Kupocon: The Bigger Pom!
I put my extra seconds grade pins on my bag so I don't have to feel bad about losing them if they fall off, haha. Also now when people ask me where I got my pins I can say I made them all, lol.

Cecropia moths! And that one random luna moth. I think getting three moths to sit still on one plant is a new record for me, lol
My one good photo of this moth, haha. He’s so pretty!
Moth number 3 is a Luna moth. I think this might be the only one I have this year since all my other Luna caterpillars got wiped out by some kind of disease. #moth #moths #lunamoth #actiasluna #insect #insects #bugs #buglife https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwj4MSLJLuj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vor47tqa1w1t

First moth babby of the year is a Cecropia moth! I have around 30 more Cecropia cocoons plus a few other species so... there will be pics. #moth #moths #insect #insects #bugs #cecropia #cecropiamoth #buglife https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwb-5DnJz2S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17f7uyp1vus6k
Just a reminder that these glowy and glittery moth babies are still in stock! And if you're looking for discounted pins, I have some seconds pins left as well: https://kittendrumstick.etsy.com #pin #pins #enamelpin #enamelpins #lapelpin #lapelpins #pinsforsale #moth #moths #lunamoth #insect #bugs #glitter #glowinthedark #buglife https://www.instagram.com/p/BvhRxLLpfud/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f3fcw5ljzcah
SO. I got my moth pins reprinted, but the factory made a mistake with one of the colors on the pins (it's the black area above the wings, not the green enamel, since a few people thought it was that, lol). They are going to work with me to resolve this in some way, so I'm not looking for feedback on what to do there. I am, however, looking for feedback on whether or not you'd still be interested in the pins with the different coloring, if it's noticeable to you, and how you feel about the differences overall. For reference, the original pins are on the left and the new ones are on the right.
I have the option to get them reprinted, but I would probably only do that if the new pins aren't desirable to buyers to avoid having a bag of 100 pins just sitting around. Though if there are any pin makers out there who have ended up in a similar situation and have suggestions for what to do with large amounts of extra stock, I'll definitely take it!
Also, please give honest feedback! If it's negative I still want to hear it since it'll help me decide if I should get reprints or try to sell these as-is. I'm having a hard time deciding myself since it's basically impossible for me to look at them from a buyer's perspective, haha. Thank you!
