It has been a very busy week again..again…again…. custom orders dyed , spinning of custom orders continues, inktober challenges in it’s fourth week and only two days to go! I can do this ! I keep telling myself…lol
I will post all the seven last days of my inktober drawings again .. I know I will not ne able to keep this up drawing and inking every day next month: it is going to be crazy busy getting all the clubs and updates ready before Auspost deadlines for shipping.
I am going to put everything forward just to be on the safe side. That means that this weekend I will be dyeing the November clubs and straight after the December clubs will be done.
Hopefully the December ones will be ready to ship mid November.
Fingers crossed for nice drying weather and no electricity outages, This is funny because at the moment I am typing this a big storm has just landed us in a black out …thankfully I have candles and a battery on my laptop… I’ll keep going as much as I can and hopefully this blog will be going live at 8pm as usual..lol
So, The teaser for the November club is an artwork of Henri Le Sidaner from 1924.
The colours are magical and to get the effect of the style of the painting , I will use totally different dye techniques! It is going to be an art adventure!
I have also posted the October club photos on facebook and Instagram, so I will show them here as well:
Inktober Week FOUR !!!!
Yeah ! Every day you receive a prompt, as a kind of a hint of inspiration to draw and ink something.
Here are the 4th seven days. I have never , ever lasted this long !!!!!
As usual I want to have a bunny in each of the drawings …lol no surprise there….
Day 23, Leak…
I have no idea why I decided to turn bunny into
Liza Minelli from “Cabaret” but there ya go…lol
Day 24, Extinct :
What better way to show off the Mythical, extinct Jackalope???
Day 25, Splat !
Glass doors are dangerous!
Especially when they are super clean and you walk straight into them….
Day 26, Connect……
used the inspiration of “split screen” technology
in old movies like “Pillow talk” to get the message across …
Day 27, Spark
I thought of Frankenstein,
one of my fav movies and here Bunny is.
in all the sparkly glory !
Day 28, Crispy
as in crispy carrots anybody!
Dressed Bunny up as Astrid from “How to train your dragon”….
Day 29, Patch….
Didn’t want to do a Patch Adams as in clown, so decided on
Sally from Nightmare before Christmas,
a character I love so much
because it reminds me of myself: stitched up left right and centre.
Hope you are enjoying the Inktober drawings and imaginations as much as I do.
Keep your eye on my other drawings and fluffy musings on Instagram, including some fun videos too....just look up @ixchelbunny. I would love to see you following my adventures there.

Shipping : I am still working and mailing the parcels out fast as humanly possible :-) All orders received and paid for of the Friday updates, will be shipped first thing monday morning. We do daily post office runs (if necessary). The recent AusPost changes to parcel pickups from businesses therefore does not apply to us because WE deliver your parcel directly to our nearest AusPost hub.
Seeing that there are currently lots of Covid cases, especially in NSW ain VIC, there can be some AusPost sorting centres that do not have enough staff so there will be delays in getting the parcel to you. As soon as your parcel is shipped you will receive an automatic email from AusPost with the tracking number so you can see where your parcel is and the approximate ETA.
Overseas deliveries are highly impacted by the very low amount of planes out of Australia t the moment and the very high pressure on AuPost. Please be patient during these pandemic times. We do our utmost to keep everything running smoothly on our end and if you have any questions: please do not hesitate to ask. Always happy to help!
Stay safe!
Keep crafting !
Be Happy !
Stay Awesome !
