May's Tiny Reptile and Mini Amphibian designs: Corn Snake and Hellbender! 🌽🐍
I've been wanting to do a corn snake design for a while for all the corn snake fans out there, and I finally came up with a design that I was happy with (it's heart-shaped!) :)
These designs are available as pins and stickers on my Patreon until the end of the April, and they will ship in May!

Dearest Archivist,
I fear I may have written too late. They have come for me, the Things with claws and fangs. Their poison seeps into my veins as my own pours out my chest. I pray this reaches you, if only as a warning.
The tome I present to you should never again be opened. It's a wonder it found its way into my hands in the first place. The leather of its cover is worn with the shape of handprints, as if it has been held in the same place many times. The edges of its pages are yellow and tattered, and inscriptions I only just learned to read are embossed from cover to cover. I cannot tell you what they mean, for fear of Them.
Keep it bound as tightly as you can, lest the Things come for it once again. And if they do, you must keep it far, far away from their clutches.
I'm sorry to impart this duty on you, but I'm afraid it's one I can uphold no longer.
With My Deepest Regrets,
Hellbender
I have notified the Pages, who will be fitting it with appropriately rattling chains at the earliest possible opportunity.
