I made a Clow book from an old Stephen King book I got at the thrift store for my Cardcaptor cosplay.

✨🌸 RELEASE! 🌸✨

In honor of pride month and my birthday I decided to theme the rewards this month around my favorite gay ass 90s magical girl anime, Cardcaptor Sakura!

🌸 This month's custom font is a semi bubble inspired by the kawaii handwriting trend that hit really big in the 80s. It has hand drawn floral details on all capital letters and numbers :) available for all patrons £5 and up

🌸 For brushes this month I was inspired by the four element cards :) you can get all 12 different brushes at the £7 tier or higher

🌸 Cardcaptor Sakura has some of the most iconic props in anime, so I went ahead and made some of my all time faves! Both Keros are rigged and have animation-ready topology, and the star wand is also partially rigged and has wing blendshapes! The card has empty fields for art and text so the user can add their faves in, and both card and book are detailed perfectly and make great background props. Available for the £10 and £15 tier subscribers!

🌸 I mostly decided on Cardcaptor Sakura because it's so chock full of iconic looks! It's one of the the few animes where characters actually have outfits and costumes that change day to day, so I decided to pick my favorite outfits from the 93 anime, the 2016 anime and the movie! These three are fully rigged, and have extra bones in their hair and clothes for better posing and animation! They are available for the £15 patrons, along with the printable file of the month!

Instead of several smaller printable models, there's just one exclusive printable this month for £15 patrons, honoring the original ot3 ✨ Sakura has two hands, and her two loved ones can hold them concurrently!!

✨Also✨

🌸🌸 I was feeling generous this month, and because I fell short a brush and a font, I decided to make two more printable files available at all tiers! Some solo character printables for the less shippy among us 🌸🌸

🌸 Sakura, securing the bag (a card), her cape flying out behind her.

🌸 Kero, surrounded by dessert food and candies, tucking into a strawberry.

Everything drops July 15th at 12:30 BST 🌸

Typography Tuesday

This week we present some more non-Roman type from the 1908 type specimen book Some Specimens of the Roman, Oriental, and Foreign Types Now in Use in the Offices of William Clowes & Sons, Limited, published at the Clowes head office in London. Clowes was founded as a printing company in 1803 by William Clowes in London. By the early 1820s, Clowes became a pioneer in the use of steam-powered printing in England, and by mid-century William Clowes & Sons was one of the largest printing companies in the world, and is still in operation today. This specimen book presents all the fonts in use by the company at the turn of the 20th century.

It was at this moment momo decided she would put everything on the line for sakura

#its just so funny to me #how she let her conjure up an image of the book when clow was just barely able to have one before it burned itself up #etc etc #but also kind of sad because due to the nature of her magic im sure momo has dealt with a lot of shitty people #the second she meets a nice wizard shes like YOU. I LIKE YOU #but also i think them being friends is sweet so sue me

I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will.

This year I read Jane Eyre for the first time and w o w. It became one of my favourite books. It gloomy and romantic, and strangely modern in it's themes. I loved it.

Staff Pick of the Week

The commemorative box created by the publisher.

Parts of the letter that Beatrix Potter wrote to her governess’s son, Noel.

Staff Pick of the Week

Before The Tale of Peter Rabbit became a well-loved children’s book for those in England, and eventually spreading further, it was a story created for one special boy. Beatrix Potter was very fond of her last governess, Annie Moore, who had left her position in order to get married. The two women kept in touch and Beatrix was known to send Moore’s growing family illustrated letters featuring many animal friends. When Moore’s eldest son Noel fell ill, Beatrix wrote him one of her famous letters and Peter Rabbit was born.

The idea of publishing Peter Rabbit didn’t come to mind until it was suggested by fellow author, Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley. Despite Peter Rabbit’s monumental success presently, Potter’s story was rejected multiple times and she ended up publishing it herself in 1901, though it was a limited quantity and sold within her social circle. To no one’s surprise, however, it was a big hit! Frederick Warne & Co had rejected the idea the first time around but quickly reconsidered, if Beatrix would do the illustrations in color. This she did, and the first edition was published by Warne in October 1902. After that, the story took off, and is now a “must have” on children’s bookshelves.

To commemorate 100 years of the original Peter Rabbit picture letter of 1893, Frederick Warne & Co created this 1993 limited-edition commemorative box set in a limited edition of 1175 copies that includes a copy of the original Peter Rabbit letter and facsililes of her privately-printed edition of 1901 and the first deluxe Warne editon of 1902, all printed and bound by the venerable William Clowes Limited. Although it’s a facsimile, it was made to look and feel exactly like the original. It’s very convincing! I chose this book as my first staff pick not only because I like her artwork but because it looked like it might’ve been an original.
