New huggable companions - brand new Dream Guardian dragon friends to cuddle, comfort, and inspire you to follow your dreams! Soft as a cloud and incredibly snuggly. Join us to hatch more creatures!
Whimsical Whiskers is back with our seventh crowdfunding campaign! It’s time for some new DREAM GUARDIANS! This time we have THREE new ones to choose from.
Each animal has dragon wings, is supremely huggable, soft and friendly, and will be your snuggle buddy! Bright, happy embroidered eyes, soft fur, and specially crafted details combine to make these whimsical creatures. Will we hatch them all? Let's find out together!
You voted, and our base goal, the first animal to unlock is the Raccoon!!
This mischievous dragon raccoon is cuddly and cute, but don't let their happy face fool you! They love to get into trouble -- good trouble! They'll charm their way into your heart and remind you to take things a little less seriously.
Soft, cuddly grey fabrics, the classic face mask of a raccoon, and a stripey tail, this Dream Guardian wouldn't be complete without their wings, heart, and toe beans. Don't you just want to cuddle them?
You voted, and the CLOSED EYES WINS! Thank you for your input!
You've been asking for more colors of the Dragon Kitty for a while, and this fabric was too perfect. The most requested colors are pink and purple, so I couldn't pass up this beautiful fabric in soft pastel purple, pink and blue.
This soft cuddly cat can't wait to hug you! Their wings, feet, and ears will be in a special, soft tie-dye fabric. Blue eyes, whiskers, and a purple heart and foot toe beans add to the adorable happy face and details of this little one. Made with care, they're sure to PURRR their way into your heart!
Dream Guardians® are protectors and companions in imagination, every day, and dreams. They keep their special treasured friend ~ you ~ company, and use their breath to chase away scary nightmares, monsters, and fears.
These are not only for children – they help remind us all that creativity, imagination, play and excitement are important elements in everyday life. They are a reminder to “hug” the important parts of yourself and those around you. They can help you remember to keep the dreams in your heart alive, and share them with the world. They are here to help you feel connected, loved, and cared for.
Each Dream Guardian has an embroidered heart—so when you feel lonely, touch the heart on your dragon and feel all the hearts around the world supporting you, caring for you, and helping chase the bad dreams away. Whoever you choose, you're in for a treat! They’re lightly weighted, and they give the most comforting snuggles. Super soft, cuddly fur and premium materials make these plushies a joy to hug. Dream Guardians give the softest hugs, and they're here to help you feel safe, comforted, and loved.
If we reach our funding goal, we can unlock more animals! If we blow these out of the water, I have a couple more Dream Guardian friend designs to reveal...
Super soft, long pile dark brown fabric makes up this new Dream Guardian's fur, while embroidered spots on their face and back give them the adorable baby deer vibe. Their wings, feet, tail and paws are a lighter brown, and their antlers match their dragon wings! Heart toe beans and an embroidered heart complete the distinctive features. Take a close look at their eyes -- they're heart meltingly sweet. They're ready to leap their way into your heart, and will remind you to take a breath and pause to smell the flowers during your adventures.
Extremely limited and using special, hand drawn fabric plus super soft body fabric that you won't find anywhere else, get them while you can!
A new, campaign exclusive Legendary Dragon-- this dragon will be very special. Offered in two colorways, this dragon is handmade, and I'm going to hand-draw a new design which will be printed on fabric and then sewn into the dragons for the wings, feet, and ears. The wing fabric will be similar to these photos, and contain affirmations to remind you how wonderful and amazing you are!
The main fabric will be one of two color way options, and both of these fabrics are discontinued -- so these are unique, limited, and exclusive to the campaign. Super soft, polyester, cuddly and wonderful, these Campaign Exclusive Legendary Dragons are extremely limited. The color variations in the fabrics mean that each dragon will be unique.
These new dragons can be added on to your pledge at any time before the campaign closes. Only a few of each color are available!
I got so excited that I actually designed TWO new fabrics -- one an updated color way of the affirmation mandala fabric, and one brand new. Hearts and zentangle patterns, color fading from green to blue to purple, this one is beautiful and I can't wait to sew it into these dragons.
This means that there are TWO options for these special, limited edition, handmade dragons.
You'll be able to choose your wing pattern in the survey - these are for the Green or Blue versions -- only a few of each will be made!
I drew this fabric, and it contains special affirmations in each one -- things like "loved" "safe" "calm" "wonderful" "amazing" "treasured" -- so you can have a special reminder sewn right into your dragon. These contain green, blue, teal and purple for a special, calm and unique fabric.
I'm also adding an option for a dragon cloak to be made out of both of these unique new fabrics. Any of the BIG SIZE dragons, foxes, cats, bunnies, or raccoons can wear this outfit.
I've also added some special Art Dragons to the campaign. These dragons are handmade, unique, and come with all the outfits, plus a special wooden plaque that says the year they were made. These are detailed, collectible, and made just for you.
Also available is a custom art dragon, giving you the option of making something unique and special just for you. Photos are examples, but we will work together to make something unique.

Backerkit is a way to crowd fund a project. It's all or nothing - if we reach the funding goal, everyone's pledges are collected and credit cards are charged, and we make the new animals, plus any stretch goals we have reached. If we don't, no one's cards are charged and the project doesn't happen. So let's hatch these new Dream Guardians together!

Art dragons also travel to art shows for bidding, and are available on social media on a limited basis.
