Locally designed, sustainably packaged greeting cards & gifts 💚

12/06/2026

What starts as a doodle with pen on paper can end up in some unexpected places...

Over the last few weeks I've been exploring ways to expand my pangolin collection beyond greeting cards and stationery. From notebooks and chopping boards to keyrings, table runners, cushions and even insulated tumblers, I've been chatting to local makers and suppliers to see what's possible.

Some ideas are proving easier than others, but it's been interesting to see how the same piece of artwork can be adapted to different products while staying true to the conservation-inspired values behind Ximumu Designs.

Nothing is final yet, but I thought I'd share a little peek behind the scenes while the pangolins are busy finding new homes. 😊

Which product would you most like to see next?

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the HELD CAPTIVE exhibition in Baardskeerdersbos such a special event.

It’s wonderful to hear that the exhibition was well supported and that so many meaningful conversations took place around wildlife, conservation, and the role of art in telling these important stories.

I’m incredibly grateful to the Blood Lions team for including Ximumu Designs, and to the Baardskeerdersbos Art Route community for the warm welcome and support. It means a lot to have my work alongside such powerful conservation storytelling.

Thanks to everyone who visited and supported the exhibition, R342 will be donated to the Scales Pangolin Rescue Fund from Ximumu sales 🐾

Even more exciting - the Bbos Art Gallery & café will be keeping the remaining Ximumu pieces available for visitors to browse and purchase.

Grateful for conservation, community, and the power of art in bringing people together 💚

The HELD CAPTIVE exhibition is open in Baardskeerdersbos this weekend, and it’s looking beautiful.

Steph shared this walk-through of the space — powerful wildlife photography from the Blood Lions team, thoughtful artworks from local artists, and a welcoming creative atmosphere at the Community Centre as part of the Baardskeerdersbos Art Route.

If you’re in the Overberg area today or tomorrow, it’s well worth stopping in to experience the exhibition, meet the team, and spend some time with the stories behind the images.

A small selection of Ximumu Designs pieces is also available at the venue in support of conservation-led work, with 10% of all sales going to the Scales Pangolin Rescue Fund 🐾

📍 Baardskeerdersbos Community Centre

At the end of March, the Baardskeerdersbos Art Route will host the HELD CAPTIVE photographic exhibition by the Blood Lions team.

Through powerful wildlife photography, the exhibition shares stories that invite conversation about the future of South Africa’s predators and the importance of protecting animals in the wild.

Visitors can explore the exhibition, meet members of the team, and enjoy the creative community that makes the Baardskeerdersbos Art Route so special.

A small selection of Ximumu Designs pieces will also be available at the Community Centre during the event.
10% of all Ximumu sales go to the Scales Pangolin Rescue Fund 🐾

In this month of love, Ximumu is tending to what already exists.

Honouring the designs that have been created, supporting conservation where we can, and growing steadily, not loudly. 🐝💚

These Ximumu pieces are all packed up and heading to the Western Cape 💚

From 27–29 March, they’ll be at the Art Route market in Baardskeerdesbos, alongside the powerful Held Captive photographic exhibition by Blood Lions South Africa — shedding light on the exploitation of captive predators and advocating for the closure of this brutal industry.

Steph and Louise will be there sharing the exhibition and the conversation, and I’m grateful to have Ximumu included in support of conservation-led work.

As always, 10% of all Ximumu sales go to the Scales Pangolin Rescue Fund 🐾

If you’re in the area, it’s well worth a visit!

Before everything went digital, there was pen, paper, and a lot of quiet focus...

Looking back reminds me that Ximumu has always been rooted in my love for wild places and the lives they hold. My designs are all about slowing down, having patience, and trusting the details. 🐘 💚

Starting 2026 gently 💚

Thinking of everyone affected by the recent flooding and hoping for easier days ahead.

Taking things one step at a time this year - with care, gratitude and good company 🐾

Thank you all for being part of Ximumu and helping my little business grow.
Here’s to more wildlife, more kindness, and a high-five-worthy 2026 🐾 😊
