Okay team, time to be open and vulnerable. For a lot of us crafters, craft markets (and sales in general) are REALLY hard right now. I avoid calculating how much pay I'm getting per hour after taking into account material costs, crafting time, stall fees and display costs, hours setting up and manning the stall etc, because the resulting number would make anyone squirm. And when you have bad sales at the one market you consistently do okay at (i.e. 1/3 the sales compared to the same market last year), it's extra hard. Especially when you have chronic health issues and have to pick and choose where to put your limited energy, and that markets themselves can be a trigger for symptoms. There has certainly been some thoughts along the lines of 'is my work not good or interesting enough?', 'am I even enjoying it any more?', and 'am I sacrificing too much to do this?' It's also kinda hard seeing posts from other stall holders saying what a great weekend of sales they had (don't get me wrong, I'm stoked for them, but I wonder why people chose their work over mine). So here I am, choosing not to pretend that everything is all okay, so that any of my stallholder friends who are also struggling know that they aren't alone. At times like this I have to reason with myself that it won't always be this hard, my work isn't necessarily the problem, and that I get so much more out of doing all this than any financial gain. Yes it's all worth it, because Little Wolf is my best way of expressing myself and my ideas and allows me to connect with people over my work. It's about having something that adds meaning to my life and the lives of others, and encourages me to spend time being creative even when I don't feel like I have it left in me. So thank you to everyone who came along to Encraftment and gave my work a smile, made a nice comment, or purchased something I made. You help make all this mean something and help me carry on creating, even when it's hard 💖 A huge shout-out to anyone within my stall holder community who is also doing it tough right now - let's get through this together 💪

And that's another @encraftment market done and dusted! This market really is the craft market of all craft markets; the quality of everyone's work and the way it is run is just fantastic. My favourite part is connecting with all the amazing stallholders and customers! Here are some of my fav snaps from the weekend. I'm absolutely loving all the colour 😁 You'll notice some little ducks in the last photo - a couple of cheeky stallholders hid them all around the market (it totally wasn't @maquinky and @kombikidnz) 😂 I do love this market community 🩵 A huge shout-out is in order for my amazing market helpers Ashleigh, Alys and Neil. I couldn't do this without you 💖 #encraftment #encraftmentmarket #christchurchnz #christchurch #madeinnewzealand #newzealandmade #shopkiwi #buynzmade #purenewzealand #shopsmall #smallbusiness #madeinnz #nzmade #littlewolfstudio #woodenjewellery #handpainted #handmade #madewithlove #bamboo #lasercut #colour #cute #pretty #craftmarket #cat #kiwiana

Over the past week I have painted and varnished over 40 pairs of earrings 😯 Let's just say I didn't have much energy left for anything else 😅 But with the Winter @encraftment Market just one week away, I needed to make sure we had plenty of stock! Here's some close-ups of some of our freshly made hand painted studs and clip-ons. The little leaves on the floral birds are less than 1mm wide and a genine challenge to paint! Let us know your favs 💖 #encraftmentmarket #encraftment #earrings #studs #studearrings #clipons #cliponearrings #newzealand #nz #madeinnewzealand #newzealandmade #shopkiwi #buynzmade #purenewzealand #shopsmall #smallbusiness #madeinnz #nzmade #littlewolfstudio #woodenjewellery #handpainted #handmade #madewithlove #bamboo #lasercut #cute #handpaintedjewellery

Finally finished some miniature original painting necklaces, all ready for the upcoming winter @encraftment market on the 14th and 15th of June at Pioneer Stadium 💖 The paintings are just 1cm! We have Mr Tui, flower fox, and a bunch of bunnies (of course). Which one is your fav? Can you guess mine? #miniaturepainting #madewithlove #handmade #shopkiwi #madeinnz #shopsmall #madeinnewzealand #jewellery #handpainted #smallbusiness #encraftmentmarket #encraftment #littlewolfstudio #necklace #handmadejewellery #cute #tui #fox #rabbit #bunny #flowers #nzjewellery #pretty #tinypainting

We recently built up some shallow drawers for our jewellery storage and it's about time we gave you the tour! We're out of some stock which we'll need to make over the next couple of weeks in time for the Winter @encraftment Market. The bottom drawer contains the things we need to package online orders. It's so nice having it all in one place! #handmadejewellery #jewellery #jewellerymaker #littlewolfstudio #handmade #madewithlove #shopkiwi #shopsmall #madeinnewzealand #madeinnz #smallbusiness #handpainted #lasercut #lasercutjewellery #kiwiana #nzjewellery

Heli would like to show you her new art gallery! We have built her an epic enclosure in the studio so she can keep me company while I work, and it fills me with joy that she has her own little gallery. I recently inherited these paintings by the late Joy Parker from my grandmother. Rather than putting them in the house, I put them in the enclosure so we can enjoy them together 💖 🖼️ 🐇 #bunny #rabbit #rabbitsetup #housebunny #artstudio #officepet #houserabbit #art #artgallery #cute #minipaintings #rabbitenclosure #spoilt #helicopterears #joyparker #littlewolfstudio #studiopet #helicopterears

Fairy sized biscuits 🍪 These tiny hand painted Hundreds and Thousands and Shrewsbury biscuits will soon be transformed into perfect little stud earrings ✨ Which ones are your fav? We let Heli have a sniff but she seemed more interested in eating the tiny table 🤷‍♀️ #biscuits #earrings #studearrings #studs #cute #miniature #tiny #kiwiana #jewellery #fairy #teaparty #madeinnz #buynzmade #lasercut #nzmade #woodenjewellery #handpainted #shoplocal #bamboo #resene #rabbit

Will Heli be my valentine? I think it's either a very enthusiastic yes or a blatant no 😅 What a tease 🐰🌹 #valentine #rabbit #bunny #helicopterears #rose #flower #cute #pet #love

Welcome to the family Heli! A friend of ours rescued Heli after she had spent weeks out on the road (her partner rabbit had already been lost to a car), and after a month or so of fostering her through the @chchrabbitrescue, we have officially welcomed her into our family! She was named Heli after her helicopter ears - one up and one down. She must be a mixed breed, including wildly and lop. She is intelligent, affectionate and sassy 🩷 Taking in Heli isn't without some sadness as we lost our buns Harli and Faun just over a year ago. But after a year of part-time fostering, it's time to welcome Heli into her forever home with us in her fancy new indoor enclosure 🐇💕 #rabbit #bunny #rehome #chchrabbitrescue #rabbitrescue #adoptdontshop #helicopterears #cutiepatootie

We designed and made these trophies for our end of year @baseacrodancelifts community prize giving! How cool do they look?! It feels weird making yourself a trophy 😂 What trophy should I make myself next? 😛 #trophy #prizegiving #handmade #lasercut #madeinnz #madewithlove

✨Thanks to everyone who came along to the Christmas @encraftment Market last weekend! ✨ We love having all our products displayed beautifully together and chatting with our amazing customers and fellow stall holders.

There will also be food trucks outside if you fancy a snack! We suggest turning up after lunch on the Saturday or any time from 11 or 12 on the Sunday to avoid peak times. It's popular for a reason!

Ninja showing off how we were able to use him as inspiration for our Pawty Time t-shirts. He loves to be 'stretched'! #stretchyourcat #cat #tshirt #cute #littlewolfstudio

Neil's 'Pawty Time' t-shirt featuring our cat Ninja got so many positive comments that we decided to print a bunch of men's and women's t-shirts in various sizes and colours! These will be available at the Christmas @encraftment Market at Pioneer Stadium this weekend and we will aim to add them to our website soon too. Thanks @hurrell_uniforms_merchandise for your amazing job printing our design onto @ascolour tees. It's nice to know we can get quality t-shirts printed just down the road! Available in: Men's M, L, and XL in Bubblegum and Cobalt. Women's S, M and L in Bubblegum and Cobalt. If we don't stock your size you can preorder any size, there will just be a longer wait time 🙃 #cat #pawtytime #tshirt #digitalart #supportlocal #christchurch #madeinnz #smallbusiness #buynzmade #nz #shopkiwi #nzmade #shopsmall #newzealandmade #encraftment #madeinnewzealand #pink

We've been busy getting ready for Christmas (hence not posting to social media 🤔)! What do you think of our new range of native NZ bird decorations? Which one is your fav? These are designed, laser cut and hand painted by me (Felicity) here in Ōtautahi ✨ I even designed and made the Christmas tree for our market displays! We will be bringing these with us to the Christmas @encraftment Market at Pioneer Stadium in just a couple of weeks.

✨ We have published our first blog post! ✨ In this post we share with you our Gelato Lab wall art process, from the initial digital concept design to the final result. If you're curious about how we create our work, this one is for you!

Help me decide which colour option is best for our new Christmas decorations! I've spent ages trying different golds, but I still only like the gold when it shines, while the bamboo looks sophisticated in any lighting. What's your preference? What would you choose for your tree? #christmas #decoration #fantail #nzfantail #kiwiana #pohutukawa #nz #nzmade #madeinnz #helpmedecide #ornament #wood #lasercut #handpainted

We will be attending the Christmas @otautahi_crafters_market this December!

We would love to see you there 😊 Event link: www.facebook.com/share/GK3xndKMdpRiAsxv/

How lucky were we to be asked by our friends at @gelatolabnz to fill their wall with gelato themed artworks?! We LOVED this project from start to finish. We designed and crafted these beauties with the help of Leo our laser cutter. They are made from bamboo, walnut, and poplar woods, and painted by hand using Resene and Dulux paints. They look fab together on the wall (even though one gelato may or may not be positioned an inch higher than it's supposed to be, shhh 😂). Make sure you pop into the The Gelato Lab on Opawa Road for the best Gelato in Christchurch and take a look at the new artworks while you're there 🍦 #gelato #icecream #thegelatolab #littlewolfstudio #woodenart #handpainted #customart #wallart #lasercut #resene #dulux #bamboo #handmade #artinstallation #christchurch #christchurchnz #opawa #madeinnz #nzmade #wafflecone

We are super excited to now be stocking a selection of our jewellery at this gem of a pop-up gift store in Rangiora. @the_nest_rangiora is full of beautiful goodies made by local talent from North Canterbury and Christchurch. The shop is run by friendly artists/makers and they will also be running craft workshops, so if you're around North Canterbury, make sure to check them out.

Instagram cut our reel short yesterday, so here's the full video including the final results. Enjoy! We are making rimu wood earrings of kōwhai flowers, pōhutukawa flowers, and mānuka flowers. The wood is recycled rimu floorboards which have been sourced and thinned down by our clever dad before being laser cut, painted, varnished and hung on earring hooks by us. As you can see, they are very time consuming to paint! We hope this video shows how much love goes into each pair of our earrings 🩷 littlewolfstudio.co.nz #earrings #jewellery #woodenjewellery #flowers #nzflowers #nznative #kowhai #manuka #pohutukawa #rimu #handpainted #madewithlove #lasercut #handmade #madeinnz #nzmade #madeinnewzealand #shopsmall #buynzmade #nz #newzealand #supportlocal #shopkiwi #nzbusiness #SmallBusiness #littlewolfstudio

Sometimes I like to make things really hard for myself by making the areas I need to paint extremely small! Here I'm painting the smaller manuka flower petals, which measure about half a millimeter. It's even harder to do while filming a video with your other hand 😅 Believe it or not there are 8 different paint colours in this design. See if you can count them all in the final image 🐦🖌️🩷 #littlewolfstudio #shopkiwi #pretty #nativenz #madeinnz #kiwiana #shopsmall #madeinnewzealand #shoplocal #fantail #nzfantail #bird #wood #lasercut #handpainted #handmadejewellery #handmade #necklace #tinypainting #blue #manuka #manukaflower #madewithlove

We've been busy making display stands for a couple of retail stores who are interested in stocking our work! What do you think? We bought some plain bamboo shelves from The Warehouse then added mountain backing boards, our logos, little bunnies and some toadstools. Sometimes it's those little final touches that make all the difference and make people smile ☺️ #display #displaystand #woodenjewellery #handpainted #handmade #madewithlove #bamboo #lasercut #pretty #cute #newzealand #nz #madeinnewzealand #newzealandmade #shopkiwi #buynzmade #purenewzealand #shopsmall #smallbusiness #madeinnz #nzmade #littlewolfstudio

We had a go at taking some group product photos for the kiwiana collection on our website. We had to pick out a few of our favourite products, as the more you add in, the more cluttered it gets!

Your favourite item at the Winter Encraftment market was our new pōhutukawa stud earrings! They're made with love from recycled remu wood and painted with a tiny paintbrush. We have just added them to our website.

Come and see us at the Midwinter Christmas Mākete tomorrow (Saturday), from 1-9pm at Wolfbrook Arena in Christchurch! Here's a peek at our work that we'll have with us, from hand painted wooden jewellery to art prints and greeting cards 🩷 Here's the link to the event info https://facebook.com/events/s/gcm-midwinter-christmas/1878773362537047/ Do excuse the spelling mistakes, my eyes hurt so I missed them 😅

We're sorry we have been so quiet lately. Felicity's chronic health conditions are particularly difficult at the moment. We think we've figured out what's going on but still need to seek a formal diagnosis. We have a huge Midwinter Christmas market on this Saturday at Wolfbrook Arena from 1pm-9pm. It's going to be an epic but long exhausting day. Seeing your lovely faces would make it that little bit easier 🩷 So come say hi, browse the amazing talented makers, eat tasty food and find entertainment for the kids 😊 The video features our Ninja, who is a great comfort for Felicity at the moment. He can't make it to the market, but he'll be there in spirit! (And as an art print 😸)

We are excited for our next market which will be at the @gardencitymakete's Midwinter Christmas Market on the 20th of July at Wolfbrook Arena. This market will feature over 200 artisans, food trucks cooking up a storm, your favourite characters, live performances, face painting and more. You will need to secure FREE tickets to this event here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/midwinter-christmas-makete-tickets-817665478457 Here's the link to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1878773362537047.

We made these necklace cuties today. Birds, acorns, bunnies, dachshunds, horseshoes, penguins and whale tails 💖 We like adding pretty pendants off the extension chains too! They'll all be coming along with us to the Winter @encraftment Market at Pioneer Stadium on the 22-23rd of June ✨

Recycled rimu pohutukawa flowers, painted by hand and destined to become dangly earrings!

Happy belated mother's day! We had a lovely day walking in the hills, sharing a tasty dinner, introducing Mum to VR, and unsuccessfully searching for the aurora. We gifted our special mum one of our new hand painted wooden fantail wall artworks. She already has the smaller brooch version, so now she can match her walls 😂 We are still in the process of optimising how to make these as it's quite a lengthy process. The second photo shows our first prototype on the left, which is a bit smaller. Do you prefer the wooden bum fluff or the white bum fluff?! 🐦🎨🖌️ We have one piece available, flick us a PM if you're interested 😊 #fantail #nzfantail #nznative #manukaflower #kiwiana #woodenart #handpainted #handmade #madewithlove #lasercut #pretty #cute #newzealand #nz #madeinnewzealand #newzealandmade #shopkiwi #buynzmade #purenewzealand #shopsmall #smallbusiness #madeinnz #nzmade #littlewolfstudio

We just made some new necklaces, how cute is this tiny kentrosaurus and little robin?

We got Ninja printed on a t-shirt 😸🌈 Who wants one?! He looks great on navy too if you're not into bubblegum pink 😉 We'll hopefully add him to our website at some point but message us in the meantime if you're keen. Maybe we should get a toddler sized one for Ninja...

Colour! We love colour 🩷🩵💛💜🧡 Featuring hand painted rimu pohutukawa flowers, bamboo jet plane lollies, and the paper I've been using as a painting surface. These wooden pieces will be made into dangly earrings after a coat of varnish ✨ We're curious to know what you fav colours are!

Little Wolf Studio has been very quiet over the last month as we have been training towards the Christchurch Modern Jive Champs, which we competed in last weekend. Here's a snippet of our Big Moves category! For some context, this is not a coreographed routine, but what we call 'freestyle', where we have previously learnt the moves but pieced them together in the movement. Not too bad for only a month of learning how to combine our two hobbies, partner acro and modern jive! We hope you enjoy watching 🕺🏻💃🏼

We recently put Leo the laser cutter to work on some transparent acrylic to create some fabric templates for Helen at @littlelionsnz. How cool does this red look with the ivy behind it?! We're pretty happy with how they turned out and we have no doubt Helen is using them to make all sorts of amazing creations for some lucky kitties! 😻 #newzealand #nz #madeinnewzealand #newzealandmade #buynzmade #smallbusiness #madeinnz #nzmade #littlewolfstudio #lasercut #laserengraved #red #blue #transparent #acrylic #custommade

Missing Faun and Harli today 🐰 Wishing you all a lovely Easter break 🩷 #rabbit #bunny #cute #easter #fluffy #daisies

We have SO many bunny inspired jewellery, art prints and greeting cards! We have put together an Easter collection on our website, mostly just as an excuse to have all of our bunny themed products together in one place.

We have been busy folding and packaging our latest print run of greeting cards, and here is our newest card design, taken from our original linocut 'Winter Woolies' ❄️🐰 The second photo is an illustration of our special team member Ninja having a pawty. This was a new design in our previous print run and has proven to be very popular so we have made sure to get plenty more printed! 🐱🎉 #greetingcards #bunny #rabbit #winter #linocut #blue #windy #cute #cat #party #pawty #pink #shopsmall #shopnz #nzartist #nzmade #madeinnewzealand #smallbusiness #littlewolfstudio #art #artist #buynzmade #christchurchnz #madeinnz #newzealandmade #nzartist #nzbusiness #shopkiwi #shoplocal

Easter is just around the corner! Unfortunately a lot of rabbits are bought as gifts around Easter and the new owners are not always committed to their long term care, meaning many rescues become overrun with bunnies in need 😢 We recently teamed up with Lucy at @chchrabbitrescue - they are an amazing recue and is where we got our Harli from! A selection of our bunny themed products are now available for purchase on their website, and 25% of these sales will go towards the bunnies in their care. Rather than buying a real bunny this Easter, please consider buying bunny themed products, especially those that go towards a good cause or support local makers 🩵🐰 https://www.crr.org.nz/shop

Our clever dad sourced and thinned down some recycled rimu floorboards for us to try out with our laser cutter. We have quickly fallen in love with this beautiful wood which is so nice to work with, and here are the results! Native NZ kowhai and manuka flower earrings. Fingers crossed you like them as much as we do 🌸🤞🏻🌸

We have recently started stocking our work at @thecreativeseditnz in New Brighton! How good do our art prints and earrings look on display 🩵 The shop is looking really lovely and is full of beautiful handmade goods so make sure to stop by and support local 😊 #shopsmall #shopkiwi #shopnz #smallbusiness #newbrighton #thecreativesedit #studearrings #earrings #art #artprints #littlewolfstudio #cute #pretty #shoplocal #supportlocal #handmade #handpainted #madewithlove #woodenjewellery #lasercut

After releasing our new flower bunny earrings we had a request for cat versions. And ta-da! Cute kitties! 🌼😺🌼 The first photo is of custom painted earrings starring Miss Indira and Miss Whiskey. Maybe custom painted pet earrings could be something we offer on our website?

Watch me paint tiny flower bunny earrings! The petals are just 3mm long, so I need a tiny paintbrush and a very steady hand. Videoing with my other hand certainly made it more difficult. Not to mention I only had half the chair 😸 #newzealand  #nz #madeinnewzealand #newzealandmade #shopkiwi #buynzmade #purenewzealand #shopsmall #SmallBusiness #madeinnz #nzmade #littlewolfstudio #woodenjewellery #handpainted #handmade #madewithlove #bamboo #lasercut #bunny #bunnies #flower #daisy #rabbit

We have just finished photographing and listing our new chocolate fish hook earrings! We've thrown in a photo of the weird things we have to do to get the right shot, like taping branches to the inside of our light box 🤷‍♀️ The earrings are made from stained walnut wood and have hand painted pink marshmallow. The brass French hooks are nickel free 🩷 https://www.littlewolfstudio.co.nz/product/chocolate-fish-hook-earrings #newzealand #nz #madeinnewzealand #newzealandmade #shopkiwi #buynzmade #purenewzealand #shopsmall #smallbusiness #madeinnz #nzmade #littlewolfstudio #woodenjewellery #handpainted #handmade #madewithlove #bamboo #lasercut #pretty #cute #chocolatefish #maplewood

Nothing like the smell of chocolate fish, huh Ninja?! Ninja has opted himself into the role of quality inspector, and our new choccy fish earrings are his favourite so far! 🍫🐟 Stained maple wood for that rich chocolatey colour, with hand painted pink marshmallow 🩷 #woodenjewellery #handpainted #handmade #madewithlove #bamboo #lasercut #newzealand #nz #madeinnewzealand #newzealandmade #shopkiwi #buynzmade #purenewzealand #shopsmall #smallbusiness #madeinnz #nzmade #littlewolfstudio #cat #qualityinspector #pretty #cute #chocolate #chocolatefish

How delicious do our new jet plane lolly earrings look?! Hooks or studs/clip-ons in a range of fun miss-matched colours or with a plane wood finish (pun intended). Have you got a fav? They are all up on our website, where we have created a 'New' category to make our new designs easy to find. www.littlewolfstudio.co.nz/category/new #earrings #hookearrings #studearrings #cliponearrings #jewellery #handpainted #samesamebutdifferent #newzealand #nz #madeinnewzealand #newzealandmade #shopkiwi #buynzmade #purenewzealand #shopsmall #smallbusiness #madeinnz #nzmade #littlewolfstudio #woodenjewellery #handmade #madewithlove #bamboo #lasercut #christchurchnz

New little bamboo stud earrings made in memory of Faun and Harli who we lost last month. One of the things we struggle with the most is deciding on paint colours! What variation is your favourite?

Seeya 2023! It has been a big year for us. Felicity rode a horse 300km through remote Mongolia, we launched our website, installed Leo the laser cutter, and lost our beautiful bunnies Faun and Harli. Thank you to everyone who has supported us through all the ups and downs, we couldn't do it without you 🩷 Here are a few of our favourite photos from Felicity's horse trek through Mongolia. #2023 #thankyou #mongolia #horsetrek #littlewolfstudio

Merry Christmas everyone, we hope your day is full of fun, love and great food! We're excited that gifts will be opened to find some of our creations! Here's a photo of one of our latest designs - personalised Christmas decorations for friends and family.

Why drive to the shops and buy a below average business card holder when you can make a much nicer one in about the same amount of time at home?! The mountains at the back weren't really necessary buuuuut we like pretty things (even if they're sneaky). #businesscards #businesscardholder #lasercut #makeyourown #mountains #littlewolfstudio #nzbusiness #smallbusiness

Painting little stars on our custom Christmas decorations, but wait for it... 😺 Ninja likes to help where possible 🥹🤦🏻‍♀️ Don't worry, I hadn't dipped my brush yet! But I did have to prevent him drinking it once I had. Then he almost stood in the paint 😅 #christmas #ornaments #decorations #custommade #lasercut #handpainted #littlewolfstudio #merrychristmas #cat #helping #tastetester #madeinnz #nzbusiness #SmallBusiness

How many ice creams can you eat in one sitting? This many? I definitely could if they were this small! Also, I have invented a new ice cream flavour - strawberry hokey pokey. I think it looks delicious 😋 This flock (herd? mob? drip?) of ice cream earrings will all be available soon at @gelatolabnz 🍦 #icecream #coneorcup #earrings #lasercut #bamboo #woodenearrings #handpainted #handpaintedjewellery #madeinnz #littlewolfstudio #nzmade #supportlocalbusinessnz #buylocalnz #handmadewithlove #chchnz #christchurchnz

Welcome to the world Leo the laser cutter! We are SO excited about this amazing little-big machine. I may or may not have been up past 10pm laser cutting Little Wolf Studio logos... Swipe to see photos of Ninja performing a thorough catscan of Leo before Leo was allowed into the house. Thanks @makerspacenz for supplying and installing Leo 🩷 #lasercutter #makerspace #newbaby #zapzap #bzzzzz #littlewolfstudio

What's in the box?! I'll give you a clue - It's big, heavy and VERY EXCITING! Bzzzz bzzzz. First correct guess wins a... Virtual high 5 😅😁 #whatsinthebox #guess #highfive #littlewolfstudio #exciting #cantwait

After my little earring painting sesh during my shift at @thekowhaicollective today, I have a very important question for you: Pants, or no pants? 🩳🤔 These new cuties will be available at the Christmas @encraftment Market this weekend at Pioneer Stadium, 10am-4pm Saturday and Sunday. But I love them so much I want to keep them! 🍪🎄❤️ #christmas #christmasearrings #christmasjewellery #encraftment #cute #gingerbreadman #pantsornopants #christmastree #bamboo #lasercut #handmade #handpainted #littlewolfstudio #madeinnz

We're super excited to launch our brand new website! We finally have an online space that brings all of our work and personality together in one place. We would love to hear what you think! It has been a big project, but we're pretty happy with it. We hope you are too 💙 (And we hope it works 😅) www.littlewolfstudio.co.nz Our favourite section might have to be 'Meet the Team'... 👩🏼🐰🐰🐱 #littlewolfstudio #websitelaunch #webdesign #nzbusiness #meettheteam

One month to go until the wonderful Christmas @encraftment market! I've been busy painting earrings and other cute crafty things ready for my stall at the best craft market in Christchurch ❤️ Come say hi!

This afternoon's earring and cufflink painting sesh with Disney movies on in the background ❤️ I managed to dip my paintbrush into my tea only once! #handpainted #cute #handmade #tiny #cute #earrings #studearrings #cliponearrings #cufflinks #littlewolfstudio #lasercut #bamboo

You don't get much smaller than these! 1cm paintings of bunnies, foxes, unicorns and tuis. I think my favourites are the flowery fox, the tui, and the bunny surrounded by flowers. But also the unicorn 🤔 I've loved painting these, tiny is kinda my thing 😅 The plan for these is to turn them into pendants for necklaces ❤️ #tiny #miniature #painting #miniatureart #art #cute #bunny #rabbit #fox #tui #unicorn #miniaturepainting #littlewolfstudio #encraftment #wip

I will be attending the wonderful Winter Encraftment Market again this year! An entire stadium filled with locally made goods, yummy food and friendly stallholders - it's the perfect place to be on a chilly winters day. Can't wait to see you there ❄️ #market #encraftment #encraftmentmarket #christchurch #nz #winter #nzmade #madeinotautahi #shoplocal

This week I finished making Mr Pukeko for my nephew. He seems pretty chuffed with his new toy! We'll see how long Mr Pukeko lasts 😛 #pukeko #handmade #woodentoys #nzmade

Painted these cuties in the weekend 🐳🪴

I hope you all had a fantastic Easter weekend! I was in my happy place horse trekking in Able Tasman 🏇 I'd love to hear about what you got up to! Did Easter bunny visit? 🐰

I popped into the "Proud" Exhibition + Gift Shop at Art Hole today and was blown away by the vibrant, fun collection of work from NZ artists. Make sure to head down for some locally made goodness while supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. The pop-up's last day is this Saturday ❤️💜💙💚💛🧡 #pride #lgbtqia #colour #rainbow #popup #giftshop #exhibition #art #christchurch #nz #arthole #nzmade #immerfarbe #littlewolfstudio

Peeling the protective masking tape off my laser cut earrings. One down, 400 to go 😅 This might be a do-a-little-bit-each-day kind of job 🤔

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, bought a piece of my work, come to say hi at markets, or even just smiled at something I've made. This year has been a deeply difficult one but you've all been a big part of gradually getting me to a better place. Little Wolf Studio is a reminder of who I am and what I can achieve when I had otherwise lost all sense of self. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, and happy New Year ❤️ Here is my most recent needle felting project of my friend's cat 🐱 #thankyou #happynewyear #needlefelting #partycat #handmade #cute #partyhat #littlewolfstudio

Here's a few snaps from my stall at the Encraftment Market in the weekend! Sending a big thank you to the amazing organisers and everyone who came to say hello 💜 #encraftment #encraftmentmarket #handmade #market #jewellery #art #illustration #stall #pretty #soldsomestuff #littlewolfstudio
