    New Pocketnauts Coming Soon!

    July 30, 2026 /

    We’ve had a handful of requests for new Pocketnaut colors and have been kind of aching for a new color combo ourselves. So, once the Glow-in-the-dark Pocketnauts sold out, we looked around the shop to see what we had at hand that we could try out. We came across this wonderful violet color and started the process of changing from the blue material to violet. Little did we know how much we would be drawn to the in-between swirls of the two colors!

    Crafsman goes to the BACKROOMS!

    June 17, 2026 /

    This is the Crafsman Steady Craftin’s full review of the A24 Backrooms movie directed by Kane Parsons AKA Kane Pixels. The film was a refreshing change-up from normal Hollywood garbage, offering eerie suspense, interesting dream-like designs, and a story that will resonate differently depending on what you bring to it. Themes of memory and regret, acceptance, change, and fear are big parts of this film.
