a sketch of a nerdy pumpkin pushing his glassing up with his leafy hand going “um, actually!!”

a sketch of a girly pumpkin with a vine looped around as her bangs and hair, with a green bow on the back

a sketch of a proud pumpkin stacked on top of a fairytale book and pebbles fashioned in a way to look like a carriage with hastily drawn wheels and door

a sketch of a very tired pumpkin with a thousand yard stare like he’s been through war, sallowed cheeks and a five o’clock shadow, the man just wants to go home to his wife and pumpkin kids

Went for a walk in the woods to find a suitable backdrop for the latest issue of @patchmagazine.bsky.social. 📸

Pre-order by the 25th of September

A page from the Patch magazine, showing an article detailing making an ‘I Am A Caterpillar’ inspired plant-pot-pal. The picture shows the logo and an introductory paragraph saying: “Like everyone, I have long desired to shrink down and crawl my way through a magical forest. So it’s no surprise that the upcoming adventure I Am A Caterpillar has me wiggling with anticipation. “But what am I to do whilst I await its release?” I cried out to no-one at all. Just then, in my peripheral, my plant pots echoed with an emptiness. It was time to create a caterpillar-shaped accessory.” The rest of the text is partial/cut off by the image

If you pick up this september’s copy of Patch magazine (@patchmagazine.bsky.social), you may see a familiar face 👀🐛 so chuffed to have been included

if anyone makes the plant pot pal craft, I’d absolutely love to see it!

Here's a closer look at the beautiful cover artwork for this month's issue - arriving on your doorsteps very soon.

The talented Kateryna Ustymenko and Oksana Bula created this piece for Patch, embracing the beginning of autumn in all its golden glory. 🍂🌄🍄‍🟫
