i love these bugs, and i hope to share my love of them with all of you too! i've made four different types of cicada themed things to celebrate the emergence of Brood XIX and Brood XIII this year (something that only happens every 221 years!). They're amazing insects with such an interesting lifecycle and it's so fortunate that we get to experience something so momentous in our lifetime!
in the interest of being able to know how much stuff i gotta make, i'm opening preorders in my ko-fi store! Preorders run from today 5/11 - 5/31 (just under 3 weeks). I'll start shipping out orders June 1st!
more info about each product under the cut!
2" Magnet!
These little guys can stick to any magnetic surfaces, mimicking the way cicadas perch on trees and other surfaces! They're super cute and compact!
2" Sticker!
A bright-eyed friend, ready to decorate your waterbottle, laptop, and more! They'll be waterproof and damage resistant!
Handmade Patch
A felt patch handmade by me with embroidered wing details! Not iron on, but you can sew it to any garment, bag, or surface you want!
7.5" Plush
A perfectly sized little guy to sit on your desk, your bed, or to cuddle! I'm really proud of this design and I redid it last minute but it was so worth it.
Want everything? I have a bundle!
I put them all together if you're interested in everything! the bundle comes in at a 13% discount (because of Brood XIII and the 13 year cycle of Brood XIX) for only $60!
