🧪⚠️ INCIDENT REPORT FROM THE PRINTED FORGE ⚠️🧪

Last night at The Printed Forge, experiments were running deep into the night as we pushed the limits trying to create brand new creatures for the forge...

Everything was going according to plan… until the portal opened. 🌌

No one knows where it led — another dimension? Another timeline? Prehistoric Earth itself? But the second it stabilized, the “creators” came charging through. 🦖💥

The lab erupted into chaos.

Tools flying. Filament everywhere. Containment alarms screaming. One of the dinos attempted to claim the snack table as its territory while another nearly escaped into the shipping department. 😳

It took ALL NIGHT to finally contain the creatures and seal the portal before more could emerge. The forge barely survived the incident… but somehow, a few of these wild creations made it out in one piece.

Now they’re looking for new homes before they break containment again. 👀🔥

Fresh out of the forge…

A huge thank you to the amazing staff at Tudor House on Portage Lakes and everyone behind the Heart & Home Handmade Market for putting on such a wonderful show today!

Everything was beautifully organized, welcoming, and filled with so many talented makers, artists, and small businesses.

I also want to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by the The Printed Forge booth today. One of the best parts of these events is getting the chance to meet so many amazing people, hear your stories, talk about creativity, fandoms, printing, and all the unique interests we share. I had some truly memorable conversations today, and it honestly made the event even more special.

🌲 New Creation Alert 🌲

Something is stirring deep within the forest… 🌕🐺

This handcrafted wolf book nook captures a quiet, powerful moment—frozen between dusk and darkness. Framed by towering trees and a glowing red moon, this lone guardian emerges from the shadows, bringing a wild, untamed energy straight to your bookshelf.

I’ve been calling him “Redmoon Howler”… but I’m open to better names 👀

🖤 Perfect for book lovers, nature fans, or anyone who likes a little mystery tucked between their stories.
🖤 Each piece is 3D printed with detailed textures and layered colors to bring the scene to life.

But if you’d like to adopt your own, send me a message—I can forge another just for you.

🔥 New Creation Alert from The Printed Forge! 🔥

Something just clawed its way out of the forge… and it’s not exactly friendly 😈

This fierce dragon book nook (or shelf guardian 👀) is rocking a bold purple body with toxic green spikes and teeth—definitely not something you want staring at you from a dark corner… or maybe exactly what you do 😏

I’m trying to figure out what to call him—here are a few ideas:
🐉 Venomspike
🐉 Grimthorn
🐉 Toxiclash
🐉 Nightfang
🐉 Blightscale

Got a better name? Drop it below 👇

⚠️ Heads up: This particular dragon might have already found a home (he didn’t last long 😅)…
BUT if you’d like to adopt one of your own, I can absolutely make another! Each one is printed and finished with care, so no two are exactly the same.

📩 Message me if you’re interested in bringing one of these beasts home!

🔥 Fresh from the Forge… something fierce has emerged 🔥

This brand new dragon book nook is bringing the heat 🐉
Jet black scales with golden-orange spikes—like molten metal glowing straight from the forge.

This one is all about attitude:
🔥 Bold
🔥 Aggressive
🔥 Impossible to ignore on your shelf

Perfect for any fantasy lover, dragon collector, or anyone looking to add a statement piece to their bookshelf.

What do you think—does this one breathe fire or what? 👀
Would you rock this on your shelf?
