(Not for sale) Finished this very special 1 of 1 S (Not for sale) Finished this very special 1 of 1 SMVFF II 2020 exclusive variant. Due to a behind the scenes mix up beyond anyones control, I decided to honour the order. But as the actual LE5 pieces are long gone and I could just add an extra LE to the edition, it was lucky I still had my AP rain part that I'd done the test paint on... so I decided I'd cast the cloud part and do it silver 😊.

So sometimes things get mess up behind the curtin... and sometimes lovely thing can happen from these moments 😊❀

This will be heading off to it's new home soon πŸ™

Let me stress this isn't my work, it's totally a s Let me stress this isn't my work, it's totally a shout out to the fab @moders_monsters who's resin piece I bought just arrived! And I had to take some photos!

It wasn't that long ago I saw his 3d wip videos! I absolutely adored his geometric creatures! And was super excited to see his was trying molding and resin casting and ive been watching with intrest his behind the scene. And some may have see me mention that seeing one of his wip fails saved me a huge bunch of head aches aches I came to casting my recent Oxenlox 3d print! But also a happy ending for him as he finally got a piece cast and it's amazing! I knew I hade to get my hands on a red LE resin Wendigo! Its a beautiful piece! 

I was so happy to find a little extra a box, a 3d printed version and 3d printed cactus! I adore the 3d printed Wendigo totally my colours πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™β€. The irony it most of the time people try to remove the 3d printed lines but in this case the printed lines add so much character and texture that really compliments the geometric shape! Plus it's so light! Which is a wonderful contrast to the super smooth heavy resin piece!

Anyway if you haven't already please do check out Matt's work! Definitely one to look out for... look out toy world 😊πŸ’ͺ! I look forward to seeing more of his work for sure!

It's been a really long time since I did an alicor It's been a really long time since I did an alicorn mostly cos I'd not remolded my orginal smaller wings since switch brands 2 years ago! Thankfully the Oxenlox wings fit even if a little bigger. Still needs varnishing.

This is the first time ive done a skeleton alicorn! I made this for myself having recently let go of my only two skeleton unicorns from my personal collection recently πŸ˜…. But im contemplating letting go... we'll see =).

Tried magnetic wings as well... was very difficult to make custom connectors I can't image I'd like doing it every time since it not really design for them πŸ˜….

I've been saying for a long time that I'll be phasing unicorns out slowly... but I'll keep making them while they are fun and every once in awhile it really is fun! 😊

Despite my crazy day, I'm so pleased I some how ma Despite my crazy day, I'm so pleased I some how managed to finish varnishing all the Oxenlox pieces πŸ˜ŠπŸŽ‰ so celebrating with a sleepy, had a crazy day selfie 🀣

The chipmunk Oxenlox ink & watercolour 1of1 piece im particularly proud of and so happy to finally hold in in my ungloved hand! The novelty still hasn't worn off to see my work go from sketch concept to finished completed object I can hold even if carefully 😊

This does mean im planning to have details of the mini drop soon so watch this space. The watercolour one won't be part of the drop though only 3 of purple ones πŸ™πŸ˜Š

Just wow! Thanks sooooooooo much to the people tha Just wow! Thanks sooooooooo much to the people that managed to pick up one of my pieces as part of the fab @_bubblewrapp_ eshop launch!

I hope people still go check out the things they have in stock by fab artists. Plus im sure they will continue to add and work with more designers moving forward so I hope you throw them a follow 😊. It was an absolute pleasure working with them πŸ™β€

Today i decided to make Draffi pup OG launch colou Today i decided to make Draffi pup OG launch colour way an edition! Originally I made it open edition beacuse at the time I was too afraid to make it limited when I first launched. The edition or not dilemma is a real tough decision for any artist and ever since I have been wondered if I made the right choice. Finally today I knew I should have gone with my initial gut! So I have now officially made this an LE21 + 1 AP (which is mine 😊).

So huge gratz to anyone that already owns one it's now more special 😊

There are now only a handful of pieces left. Atm they are currently available at 2 places:
- @popmartsg in store at the shiney new funan branch and last time I checked there was 2 available (less any have sold since) 
- (edit - bubble wrapp pieces now sold πŸ˜±πŸ™) now 3 are available on the fab brand new eshop @_bubblewrapp_ (based in the USA with international shipping).

The last 4 pieces are still with me but i will hold them back for the future so your best bet is still the other two places! 😊

I have a very soft spot for this colour way because Draffi is a dog giraffe! And while they might be small they are super detailed & hand painted =).

Please do check out their eshop they have so really fab stuff. They are based in the USA but do international shipping 😊. Please follow them for more info & deals etc =)

I am excited & honoured to be apart of their launch. I made a very very rare exception to make a few pieces available to them retail as its not something I offer often... but I so wanted to support this amazing duo on their toy shop adventure =).

First up is this seriously 1of1 6" candy watercolour resin unicorn! It was first made available last year but if you missed my direct brief shop openings you can now ONLY get this piece via Bubble Wrapp 😊:

I'm very happy to be included in the newly launche I'm very happy to be included in the newly launched international professional art toy directory Toy Artists:

https://toyartists.net/jessica-emmett/ (temp link in bio)

I guess it's now official, I'm a Toy Designer πŸ˜…! I mean I dont know at what point I actually was or wasn't one... maybe even just calling myself one was enough lolz. But it makes me happy to be part of a wider industry of makers on Toy Artists!

Other art fields there have long had professional directories so really there has be a gap that was dying to be filled which now has started to be with this ambitious & selfless project by @toyartuk! 😊πŸ’ͺ More toy people are being added in batches.

I'm excited to see how this project grows and really see what great potential it has for the industry!

On a sidr note... I tell you, I found it super hard to write a bio for this or picking 3 images I felt summed up my entire work! Kindda what triggered me to make my recent post asking people what they thought I was best known for. Or how to sum up one's whole career succinctly! πŸ˜…

Anyway, I urge you to check out & support the site as it develops πŸ™β€ or get in touch with them if you want to be part of the directory 😊

"What toy are you best know for?" Is a toy questio "What toy are you best know for?" Is a toy question that has popped up a few times the past year. When ever I get asked it I'm like tbh I have no idea πŸ˜…! I've not been making toys that's long in the grand scheme of it all, 2 years part time and 2 years full time. And since I make new designs every once in awhile and don't focus on only one design so I'm not sure I personally can pick a single toy that I feel sums up all my work and I actually don't know what other people believe I'm most well know for. This is also why I can never design a picture logo (something I keep trying to revisit).

So I thought it would be interesting to see what you lot thought! 😊 what do you think im most well known for? There no wrong answer. Maybe its not a single toy and it's more my style or approach? Your insights would be most welcomed & appreciated 😊

Just finished painting this one off Oxenlox with w Just finished painting this one off Oxenlox with watercolour on top of the ink I did yesterday. The novelty of being able to illustrate on 3d objects cos of watercolour ground has not warn off yet! Also really glad to see that the ink from the rotring pens didn't lift with the water like in my tests, I guess leaving it to dry iver night helped. Still needs varnishing but it won't look much different and I'm excited to show you 😊.

This one off won't be available in my up coming mini drop but maybe later in the future πŸ™

Ink done on a one off Oxenlox I've been working on Ink done on a one off Oxenlox I've been working on. People seem to enjoy seeing the black and white wips so here they are.

Even though I designed the sculpt to have a smooth body I always envisioned it to but fluffy like a chipmunk so that was the inspiration for this piece. So yes part ox, also part cute fluffy thing.

First toy using rotring rapidograph pens and I tell you I think uve finally found "the" pen to work on with the watercolour ground. I had to be a little careful cos it's basically like drawing with a needle and watercolour ground didn't like me drawing at some angles. Th pen is not without it's quirks but it preformed better than copics & dip pen in the ground!

I know I say this along but I consider this an illustration that happens to be on a 3d object... so its both illustration AND 3D 😊. So it doesn't look like an illustration it is an illustration πŸ™β€

I've very thankful that the meds the doctor gave me seemed to make my hand pain manageable (though not pain free) by mid afternoon... cos they weren't good this morning. Im super happy about how it turned out and tomorrow I do watercolour πŸŽ‰

This one won't be part of the up coming drop, it maybe available in the future but not atm πŸ™

Blood Sugar Creature had a bit of a freak out worr Blood Sugar Creature had a bit of a freak out worried the pandemic effected their diabetes as it started having pins & needles for the first time in ages. And worse hand pain doing normal activities like drawing.

Thankfully the doctor said this time it was common for diabetics and as it's HbA1c was 5.8% that's still considered fine so nothing to worry about in this case. But its nerves may take a month to feel better. Blood Sugar Creature was relieved it wasn't something more serious, medication wasn't needed and knows it needs to rebalance it's diet again if it wants to stay in "remission".

Ok clearly that was me! But sometimes it helps to talk about things like this with a made up character πŸ˜… Thankfully I'm ok, pandemic didn't totally mess up my health like I feared. But it definitely highlights how mental health plays such a difficult roles in my life. But I know I can get the manageable pandemic weight gain off again! πŸ’ͺ back to eating more strictly again πŸ˜…πŸ˜­

Anyone who may have followed my diabetes journey may have been inspired or impressed,  but I am an imperfect flowed human... I just have to keep trying as it's an on going process β€πŸ™

Announcement! I'm changing how I use fb for work ( Announcement! I'm changing how I use fb for work (wont effect Instagram followers I will continue to post here as normal 😊). I'll be shifting work posts to my fb page.

Up until now I've been reposting Instagram posts to my personal Facebook but now will shift to my fb page instead with only occasional reposts to my personal. I apologise to anyone that prefer to follow my work on my personal, but I felt I should finally try and separate the two more and make my Instagram & fb page more streamlined. This also makes it a bit more neutral for sharing.

So if you follow my personal account I urge you to follow my Facebook page from now on πŸ™πŸ˜Š. And if you don't follow me on fb already im happy to shamelessly plug my page and encourage you to follow it πŸ˜…πŸ˜πŸ™:

www.facebook.com/JessicaEmmettArtist (link in bio)

It was a tough choice and taken me over a year to decide. While in the past it was much easier to only deal with Instagram & my personal fb but as my business grows it has started to get unrealistic. But this also mean there will be much more content posted on this page than previously. 

Thanks everyone that has followed me on FB so far, I hope this change isn't too disruptive and hope to see you on my fb page πŸ˜ŠπŸ™

Testing out my new rotring pens and it's a game ch Testing out my new rotring pens and it's a game changer on the watercolour ground! While not quite as waterproof as copics or acrylic+dippen, the very minor lift is acceptable payment in exchange for the pen nibs not clogging on the ground πŸ˜πŸŽ‰

The irony is I had tried rotring pens years ago and super disliked it on 2d cos it's has a scratchy feel... yet now love it on watercolour ground... but I'll know for sure once I finish this piece if it'll my new go to water ground drawing tool.

My dark cloud has been following me around more th My dark cloud has been following me around more than normal lately. Thought id do some art therapy using my favourite colours.

It's amazing how drawn to different colours we can become. I was reading that our preference to colour is formed by nature & context but more interestingly also by culture & experience (especially positive reinforcement). Im not sure where my love for purple started but I love it the most which anyone that's known me for any length of time prob knows (or anyone scrolling my feed 🀣🀣🀣)

It's only in the past few years I've gained a fondness for blues, pinks & teals. And tbh it feels positive to know my taste is always evolving and my mind is open that change both personally & artistically!

I stayed up really late to finished this (though still needs varnishing later). I dont know it's like I felt I needed a win today even if it feels short lived if you get me πŸ˜…. Im super happy with it and I will definitely be making this into an small edition later. But for now this one of the two APs will be part of my mini drop happening soon, details to follow in the next week or two πŸ™β€.

What is love to you? To me more than anything love What is love to you? To me more than anything love is trust. But I though it might be interesting to explore what I think about love because love is so many things & always evolving. These pieces are titled "Love is Quiet" (left) and "Love is Colourful".

These two APs will be made available and I will be announcing a small drop in the next week or so along with a handful of other toys. If there is interest between these APs in either of these colour ways I may consider a small edition in the future. Please note they still need varnishing.

The rainbow one was done in watercolour and this AP is technically a miscast as I ran out of resin in the body pour so its a little shorter πŸ˜… but I will make it this AP available anyway =). 

I am a romantic at heart, but I've always found valentines day a weird day. Not because I don't think love shouldn't be celebrated, but cos I feel like it is just something that is every day 😊

This is a good time to say I love my amazing wonderful sister @vickysuemei huge huge hugs to her on this fab day 😊❀
A super fab determined overseas collector managed A super fab determined overseas collector managed to get this very special AP watercolour eemo cloud from the Popmart SG showcase using their global network. Im such a casual collector so im often fascinated by the collectors side of toys and the community that are built there 😊

Thanks Devin for your support again πŸ™β€

Reflecting on this piece, I need to give credit wh Reflecting on this piece, I need to give credit where credit is due! Oxenlox wouldn't exist imho without the generous community sharing their own skills & knowledge. Now this piece is finished I would to do a little ode:

- thank you to everyone on fb that gave me honest feedback about their ipad experiences, really helped decided!

- thank you especially to Sunny from @78jo_ooo that first let me know that you could 3d sculpt on an ipad 🀯🀯🀯 sometimes someone telling you something is possible is all I need!

- thanks to everyone that has bought a piece from me especially last year,  this meant I could actually afford said ipad 

- thank you to @southerngfx who put free learning resources on YouTube that made this sculpt possible in @nomadsculpt ! My first proper digital sculpt! 🀯

- Huge shout out to @drawdelow that mentioned minishistudios when asking people for sg 3d printers recommendations. A major doh moment since I already followed Minishi Studios πŸ˜…

- endless thanks to @minishistudios! He was able to take my probably not so suitable 3d file and made it print ready, added connectors, resin printed, post cured & removed the structures for me. It is soooooo hard to put my work into other peoples hands but im thankful that Minishi made it a painless experience πŸ™! He did a seriously amazing job! Sent to me for finish, molding & casting which I wanted 😊

- thank you @moders_monsters who posted their molding float fail! I guarantee I would have done the same had I not seen it! πŸ™ I wish more would share their fails!

- ofc thanks hubby @adamcroberts for molding/casting help!

- and lastly thanks to everyone that has followed along, commented,  liked & shared with me. It kept me going, motivated, maybe maa little stressed at times needlessly! But definitely thankful! 

Just like me, Oxenlox gained the keys to fly both from it's self determination and the community! If this project has shown me anything is I dont create in isolation of others and everything I do is only because of others β€πŸ™

Gah what a journey its been! Thanks everyone that crossed paths with me & came along for the ride β€πŸ™

Happy year of the Ox! πŸ˜ŠπŸŽ‰ Im so happy to prop Happy year of the Ox! πŸ˜ŠπŸŽ‰ Im so happy to properly introduce Oxenlox! Wow what a journey! 

I'm not sure if this ox inspired creature was an imagination coincidence or not but its came at a time that I was thinking about the future and the strong potential for what was to come. Which is why the story behind Oxenloxen is:

An Oxenlox is always looking for the key to u lock their potential & fly! Sometimes they find the keys themselves but sometimes others help. And it's fitting that it was finished on Luna new year, year of the metal ox! May this year be full of hope & potential for you all πŸ˜ŠπŸ™
