New in the Shop — Halloween Clickers, Pals, and a Bat in the Works
Halloween clickers, new Flexi Magnet Pals, a few markets in the books, a chubby vampire bat with a clicker head still on the bench, and a light box for reshooting shop photos.
It’s been a busy stretch at the printers. The last couple of months have been a mix of market Sundays, restocking favorites, and getting a whole wave of new pieces onto the shop — so this is the catch-up post.
The focus right now is the new stuff you can actually take home. Halloween is coming up fast, and the Flexi Magnet Pal lineup has grown.
Halloween clickers
Three new desk clickers just landed, all with that same satisfying keyboard-style click I’ve been building into the fidgets:
- Jack-o-Lantern Witch Clicker — orange pumpkin base, purple star hat, and a grin that looks extra good on a desk in October.
- Black Cat Witch Hat Clicker — a black cat in a purple witch hat. Same click, different familiar.
- Dracula Pumpkin Clicker — pumpkin body, cape, widow’s peak. A little dramatic, in the best way.
These have been fun to print, and they’re the ones I’m most excited to have on the table as the season picks up.
New Flexi Magnet Pals
The pal lineup has grown a lot since the last shop update. Same construction as always: magnet embedded flush during the print, no glue, plus separate magnetic backers for wearing or sticking to a fridge, locker, or other magnetic surface.
New faces in the shop:
The Highland Cow and the dog pals have been a nice addition next to the Westie, Corgi, and Dachshund — more chances for someone to spot a pal that looks like their own.
A light box, finally
I also picked up a light box for photographing the pieces. Expect new thumbnails and gallery pictures all around — the new listings and a lot of the older favorites. The current shots will get swapped as I reshoot them.
A few markets in the books
Since that first Little Paws Sunday in July, I’ve been back at the EHT Community Farmers’ Market by Little Paws on several more Sundays, and I also did St. John’s Old-School Flea Market in Egg Harbor City on August 1.
Getting out from behind the printers is still the best part of the week. People pick things up, click them, flex them, and talk about which pal looks like their dog. That’s how I know what to print more of.
I’ll be back at Little Paws this Sunday, September 13, 9am–1pm at the Atlantic County Library Grounds in Egg Harbor Township. After that: September 27, then October 4 and 11. On October 3 I’ll also be at the Our Lady of Sorrows Yard Sale in Linwood (9am–3pm, church hall at 724 Maple Avenue).
The Halloween clickers and the newer pals will be on the table.
A vampire bat on the bench
One more thing that’s not in the shop yet: I’ve started a chubby vampire bat. The head is a clicker, and the wings are articulated so they actually move. Here’s the head in Blender with the face painted — fangs, little ears, and that round clicker shape.
It’s still in the works — iterating and printing tests — but it’s the piece I’m most excited to finish as Halloween gets closer.
When it’s ready, it’ll get its own shop page and a spot on the market table. I’ll post here when it is.
Until then, the new clickers and pals are live. Browse the shop, or come say hi in person this Sunday.
