From a quick digital sketch to tactile, squishy reality—nothing beats the feeling of bringing your own drawings to life! 🎨➡️🧸🎃✨
Introducing our Halloween Candy Treat Trio, freshly completed at the OakenArk studio!
Featuring our Scythe Ghost Cat 🐱, Pumpkin Piggy 🐷, and Pumpkin Chinchilla 🐭, tucked inside a cozy hollow felted candy wrapper boat.
To make it extra special, I sculpted them in two sizes: standard desk buddy size and super-tiny micro edition! Seeing the big versions protect their mini counterparts is pure cuteness overload.
Swipe to see the original sketch and the size comparisons! Which little candy critter is jumping into your trick-or-treat bag? 🍬🤍

You needle-felted a kitten with lavender patches and her own little yarn ball 🥹💜
From her pristine white silhouette and delicate pastel-purple eye patch to the matching micro yarn ball beside her paws, every fiber was shaped with mindful patience.
Sitting quietly with her bushy purple tail perched high, she’s patiently waiting for someone to roll the yarn ball her way.
Whether perched on your study desk or gifted to a fellow cat lover, she brings an instant wave of calm, cozy warmth. Who’s ready to cuddle this sweet kitty? 🌿🤍

Good afternoon, everyone! As the autumn air turns crisp, I invite you into a whimsical corner of the OakenArk studio with our Pumpkin Penguin set.
