In another episode of “cute things Nicole found while doomscrolling,” I present to you the cutest Etsy shop if you are obsessed with your pets (and, specifically, cats): The Fairybeam. Warning: If you have pets and do not want the most incredible custom portraits of them, look away now, because you’re not going to be able to control yourself.
First question: ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!? The cat in this example photo looks a lot like my own cat, Gomez, and if you think I don’t want ten of these, you are so wrong. This is perfection. I could stare at this forever. It is the perfect amount of whimsy and sweetness, while also being a difficult enough craft that I know I could never achieve it myself, and it’s clearly handmade by a human with real skill. Plus, it’s just goddamn cute. Brings the whole “I put on my robe and wizard hat” into new (and better) territory.
If you have one to three pets, you can get a custom embroidery of them with giant mushrooms, and/or the most beautiful flowers, or nearly anything you want! Just beautiful, incredible artwork to hang on your wall and appreciate your perfect pets now and forever. Fuck AI turning a weird facsimile of your pet’s face into an 18th-century emperor; this is so much better than that! But if you’re on a budget, don’t have a lot of wall space, or want a piece you can take with you everywhere, you are in luck.
A tiny embroidered portrait of your favorite pet to wear around your neck furever and ever?! The best thing I’ve ever seen. Screw diamonds; give me a million little portraits of my cat to wear every single day. If a necklace isn’t your thing, you can also get it as a brooch or keychain. You can also get your dog’s portrait, or your cat’s lucky toebeans. So many options!! Perfect for yourself or your friend who is obsessed with their pets. (AKA, if you know me or RA IRL.)
If you’re not in the market for custom work, never fear! She also offers prints of some of her embroidery, other jewelry (the black cat bat!!!), and super sparkly stickers. Of course, if you aren’t an animal lover or pet owner, she might have the perfect sticker for you, your best friend, or your worst enemy (depending on how you feel about this word).
