@reneefrench.bsky.social everyone who receives them always holds them really dearly, you'll find some of them posting about it in my reposts, just wanted to thank you for the inspiring little guy. My first crotchet project is a gopher in progress and my partner is just finishing her first plush

@reneefrench.bsky.social so as my first project in in 3D modelling & printing I decided to make little gopher collectibles & designed collectible boxes for them to match the interests of speakers, they've gone down a treat, we've even had people come forward to speak to us to just to get their own

@reneefrench.bsky.social I had no idea you were on here! I've found your go gopher to be my muse, I've always struggled to dive into art mediums, i'm a bit more engineering brained generally but I run the go community in Manchester in the UK & wanted to make something special for the speakers (1/2)
