These drawings actually began as part of my design process for the In the Woods collection. While sketching ideas for crocheted animals—figuring out their shape, posture, and personality—I started imagining them in everyday moments too. A bear bringing flowers. A bunny balancing birthday presents. A fox just sitting quietly with a message of love.
They felt like little stories of their own. So I followed that feeling and turned some of the sketches into a small series of hand-drawn printed cards.
From Animal Sketches to Tiny Scenes
Each card is drawn digitally by hand, then printed one by one on textured paper to preserve the soft, handmade feel of the original lines. All of them include gentle messages or light puns—just enough to say something kind or encouraging, without being too loud about it.
These are the same creatures that appear in my crochet work, only here they’re on paper, captured in a quiet moment. It’s another way for me to share their world with you.
A Thoughtful Little Gift
The cards are available as standalone products in the shop. You can also include a custom message, which we’ll print on the reverse side to make it even more personal. And if you're planning to send a full gift, we offer gift wrapping services too—just to make everything feel that little bit more special.
Whether you're celebrating, encouraging, or just saying hello, I hope these cards bring a small dose of warmth and wonder to your day.
