You can check all the details and every perk on my Patreon page. But here goes the general overview of my plans: the mid/long-term goal is to offer amigurumi video tutorials for beginners, and follow-along videos of my patterns in the future. I always receive such kind feedback on my crafts and patterns, which motivates me to stay creative. So, for now, I thought that platform would be the perfect incentive to keep working on my big project while still creating and sharing new stuff.
My main focus now is crochet and amigurumi, so some of the benefits my patrons have include access to the complete PDF versions of ALL the patterns from my shop and EXCLUSIVE access to my Raw Patterns (printable doc version + finished work pictures for reference) of some designs that might or might not get released in the future, plus Secret Patterns (crochet patterns that, for some reason, I'm not allowed to publicly launch - such as works inspired by famous series, games and pop culture), fanart wallpapers and colouring pages. Plus, discount coupons for my shop and loyalty rewards after 3 months!
For those who love unboxing mail, every month you can receive physical plushies, stationery goods and paper products that are not sold anywhere now but a few local art markets that I - very sporadically - join in my city.
And lastly, some minor but practical perks, like direct crochet assistance from me or pattern testing opportunities.
Also, FREE MEMBERSHIPS are rising in the platform as an alternative to social media, so I want to try building a creative community there. Maybe this could be a potential solution to freeing ourselves from Meta in the future. 🤷🏻♀️ And to encourage more people to join us, Free Members not only have access to my Free Patterns but also have the SAME BENEFITS AS FIRST-TIER PATRONS, which is more like a tip jar for those who want to show me some extra support.
So, if you like my work, join us for free or in any tier you prefer to help me keep creating quality patterns to share and all sorts of creative cute stuff! I hope to see some of you around there! 🌷
