Long overdue for an update, oops! Let's see what I've been up to.

Filling safety orders, of course. 👀😍

Today's entry into "weird stuff I make with my son," here's my crochet interpretation of his "Airacuda," a sharp-toothed, poison-tailed flying beast with scaly wings and four red eyes. 🧶

A fun thing about this fantasy creatures collab with my 9yo son is that it challenges me to figure out crochet solutions for new shapes. Like this Airacuda ("like barracuda, but in the air") required a new body and neck design, a modification to my usual paw foot, and now I gotta make the wings 🤔

My 8yo son is his Mama's boy and is very into creating fantasy worlds, so we decided to team up: he makes fantasy world maps, and I crochet the creatures who live in his magical lands. This is our first collaboration, which he has named the Sandstalker!

It has a long-haired black tail and black skeletal antlers. It is standing on a rock against a backdrop of dried leaves. A crochet jackal-headed creature with a long, lithe body.

I made a new backing card design for my Bestiary enamel pins yesterday, as a little treat. 😁
#Pintopia #illustration
A backing card design shaped like an open book. It's purple and across the double-page spread are an array of mythical creatures in illuminated manuscript bestiary style including a siren, harpy, mermain, dragon, and unicorn, as well as some goats and leafy details. In the top left corner in yellow are the words 'Bestiary Pins by Abi Stevens'.

Same, Zuko.

This is Zuko. He has decided he's done with winter. If anyone can expedite the arrival of summer, he'd really appreciate it. 12/10
a brown and white italian greyhound is sitting upright while being held in the crook of a person’s arm. both human and dog are wearing layers: the person in a cream colored shirt, white zip up, olive green jacket and gray scarf, while the dog has on a fleece onesie and four polka dot leg warmers. the pup’s ears are tucked into the turtleneck collar of his fleecy jimjams and his expression can only be described as plaintive.

A long-time customer dug up an old IG post of some eyes I'd made and asked if I could do it again, so I said I'd try - and they came out even better! Might have to add these to the permanent lineup.

I wrote up a little bit about putting @bexcreatures.bsky.social 's horns on my dragons. I suppose I could have waited until I had pictures of the finished dragon, but I am not known for patience.

Decided to break in the new account by going back to the beginning. Here are my first amis from spring 2021! 👶🏼 I started crocheting then as a way of keeping my hands busy on those pandemic evenings. I had a full-time job, a 4yo, a baby, and a lot of anxiety! 🧶
January 2021: My first "stuffie"... A ball. Description: a cream, brown-flecked crochet sphere held in a white woman's palm. February 2021: First finished amigurumi, a stegosaurus. Description: An orange crochet stegosaurus with red back plates against a gray background. May 2021: A baby blanket for my stepsister's little girl. Description: A white baby blanket made of crochet bobble stitches, with lamb legs and head, folder over the railing of a white crib. A small crochet raven (black wings and body, gray beak) in a green hood. It is Kiri, a kenku character from Critical Role, Campaign 2 (a D&D/TTRPG live play show).

A very busy yarn filled day at Unravel Festival. This was half my stand!
A yarn filled exhibition stand with lots of different colours. There is a table with a structure that has yarn in cubes and rectangles on it. With large semicircular shawls spread across the table cloth. On top of the structure are project bags in tie dyed fabrics. There are grid walls with yarn to the right of the table.

In the interest of moving off some platforms and building a presence on others, I decided to create a separate account for my fantasy crochet stuff 🦄🧶 So hi! I'm Bex, my lil' biz is called Bextraordinary Creatures, and I enjoy designing & making mixed-media beasties!
