Early this year I got a Shopify Milestones award for reaching 10,000 sales on Wask (and Shopify is the e-commerce platform for it). Considering my little online shop started as an obsessive side hobby of mine, I’m proud of this achievement and figured I’d share it here. π₯°
Thank you to anybody who has ever bought one of my strange product creations, or shared my store to a friend, or commented on my work!
The latest Wask product is a super simple one. Among all the smile balloons in the world, I found there to be a lack of sarcastic smiles – the upside down smile – so I’ve decided to offer them. These are the “I Hope You’re Happy” balloons! π
The latest Wask product is a straw that looks like a pencil! I was just surprised that this wasn’t a thing yet… because I wanted to use it. Check out these pencil straws on my shop! They’re plastic and reusable, and sold in packs of five.
Hey, it’s been quiet around here since it’ll still be a while before I can launch some new products… and in the meantime my friend lent me some macro lenses for a different project. So I thought it might be fun to take some macro Wask product shots!

Good luck!
So it turns out my dice journey hasn’t reached a “good enough” point after all!
Long story short: after a few weeks of checking & packaging the dice, it turns out that the newest dice batch (Manufacturer E – batch 1) that has been selling this year is prone to the ink “flaking off” from use or from rolling it on surfaces. You can read all of the details on the now-updated blog entry from January!
If you purchased dice this year up until February 25th, and you noticed your dice are flaking a little, I can send you a replacement of a newer improved batch (Manufacturer E – batch 2), just reach out to Wask!
The “Dice + Candy Sale” is here for one week! From Feb 4th until Feb 11th.
I don’t have sales very often because most of my products are made in small batches and have small profit margins – being an independent designer and all! But if sales end up being manageable and beneficial for Wask then I’ll consider doing a few others in the future.
Are there other Wask products you’d like to see on sale? Maybe I can make it work!
I decided to Photoshop together all of my dice manufacturing photos from 2019 until now! It might not look like much, but every stage took a lot of time, whether it was samples or full batches. The differences between some of the dice are quite staggering, even though the photo doesn’t do that justice. π
Okay – new manufacturer update. I took the dice risk!
Dice are officially back in stock! This is a bit of a longer entry so click “Continue reading” to view it!

Hi everyone!
There is a new, updated “silica gel candy” batch being sold right now! I wasn’t happy with the flavour of the last batch so I wanted to make sure to improve it.
Main changes:
β Better flavour!
β More “classic silica gel” feeling type paper (it kinda freaks me out)
β New ingredients: Sugar, Glucose, Malt Syrup, Arabic Gum, Artificial Flavour
The only downside is that the paper doesn’t rip very nicely, and it’s hard to get a perfect rip! I personally feel like the new positives outweigh this negative, but if you feel that the ripping process makes the candy experience really annoying, then please let me know! If people don’t like it, then I can look into improve it in the future.
Take care.
