Hi fish fries!! I'm so excited to show off these patterns I've been working on these past few months! One of my very first designs I've made when I started Umvvelt was the Moon Visitor design that has become really well loved since Umvvelt's opening and I, in general, just really love the whales x skies theme so this Spring's release is going to revolve entirely around that theme!
For those of you who remember, I made these three designs (intended for the A4 Dotted Journals I released s...

Hi fish fries! I'm so sorry for the late post this month but I am here with some updates, future plans, and of course, our reward club reveals! ✨✨✨
Here's your monthly friendly reminder, if you haven't joined the discord yet, to please do so if you wish to see more frequent updates! I update a lot more things casually (such as WIPs and personal life updates that may result in any delays for Umvvelt/patreon!) than I will on here! Our discord has been a little dead as of late but I'...

Hi fish fries! Wanted to show off a work in progress of a crossbody bag I've been wanting to make for a while featuring a new valentine's day pattern that I will have for the new update next year!
There's a few minor issues with the bag so far (they changed the pattern somehow, the color is too light and the direction of the bag is kind of everywhere) but since this is the first sample, I'm not too concerned and am hoping that the next bag revision will be better! If these crossbody bag...

I didn't want to have all of the news in one post, I know the last post was pretty text heavy so I'll try to keep this one as light as possible!
The secret shop will be open PERMANENTLY starting tomorrow! You'll be able to access it at the same time as the early access for the public shop!

Hello fish fries!
First off, I really want to apologize for suddenly going MIA on patreon with posts and reward previews.

Happy Mola Monday fish fries!!
I've been working on some new apparel designs for the fall/winter season, and I have to say, I absolutely love designing sweaters way more than I do with tees 😂 I love having space to design sleeves! That being said, I did want to dive into having some more hoodies out this season versus crewnecks, since I feel like I have a pretty solid selection of crewnecks right now, but not enough hoodies 👀
One design is embroidered (the first Genus Mola d...

Hi fish fries!
As I am preparing for the new releases in the fall/winter, I am finally getting around to working on a revised design of the original Mola mola sweater that I first made back when I made Umvvelt last year! It was definitely one of my more popular sweaters but since I've improved a lot with understanding sunfish + sunfish anatomy since, I wanted to retire the design and bring it back in a new and more accurate representation of my style now!

This month is a busy month for me due to last month's shop update & if you haven't heard the news yet, I am officially moving to a new home by the end of the month!

Hi fish fries!
I don't think I've shared these yet on patreon, but a few weeks ago my youngest brother (who is big on skincare) jokingly mentioned that I should try making more face/hand towels for our bathrooms to use at home. I bought some shark version ones off of SHEIN a long time ago which I really liked so I wanted to look into making my own and that's how these babies came to existence!
They turned out a lot larger than I thought!!!! The top head part is about 7 inches wide...

The samples have been updated and finished! I made a blue and a purple sample since those are the colors most associated with moon jellies and the samples will hopefully arrive to me by next week where I can then do some quality checking with the size and material before coming up with a price quote! These most likely won't be available until the latter end of summer but I'm super excited to see them in person and figured I would update this post wit...

I've been racking my brain over making a bag design for MONTHS now but recently, I've had a few that I wanted to try to implement and this was one of them!
I didn't want to make a bag that was too large (seeing as the market for bags looks really saturated right now and it looks like everyone already owns a huge bag!!) so I wanted to swap and make something on the smaller side that could have the straps detached so you could use it as a pouch that can go in your bag...
