The brushbuddy offers you ready-to-complete Rainmaker’s Rune and Phoenix Portent spells… do you accept? #witchhatatelier

So happy with how this brushbuddy came out!!! I’m going to make a batch at half this size next, so only one person will be able to claim this bigger, more life-size friend 👀 I may also make them a little felt hat, we shall see.

i've been working on a Severance risograph zine based on the song Who Are You Really by Mikky Ekko; it's two colors and includes a pair of red/blue 3D glasses so you can visually isolate the colors as youre reading by looking thru the different lenses!

Incredibly proud of our Moth Pokédex Zine, featuring photographs of needle felted figures of every moth Pokémon (and many of their larvae forms!), all with PNW-inspired descriptions.

These will be available in our online store on Wednesday, August 20th!

Thank you to everyone who attended Summer Story Fest this past weekend! We had a delight sharing the love of books, zines, and handmade art with everyone around us 💚

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by our booth yesterday!! We were selling our mystery books so fast we had to make more (melted wax and all!) behind the table.

We’re opening up our online store soon with items that are still available, so keep an eye out for that announcement! 👀

Two years back I wrote up a field guide to 3 different Farmer Fairies featuring figures I needle felted! Photography and design by @alliedrakeart.bsky.social with illustrative additions by @rowansugar.bsky.social. I have a few more similar guides in the works 👀

I’ve made many mushroom houses in the past, and this time I wanted to challenge myself with an inky cap house! The wood base with mossy foliage is a new addition for me, and I plan to continue this finishing on my future mushrooms.

Hi! Drakes Den is run by two queer artists with 13+ years working in bookstores. Our objective is to open a brick-and-mortar gift/bookstore supporting our local community! Right now we function as an art market table selling used books, our own handmade art, and other curated art from folks we know!
