Hello,
My name is Nicollette (or Niky) and I am the owner, creator and sole employee at Custom Critter Prints. I started this business in 2011 and have been creating every since.

It started out as a place for me to sell my fine prints and t-shirts that I hand printed from relief blocks that I cut.

From there, I started making little stuffed, crocheted toys. That is what really got me started. I was approached in July of that year to make a sugar glider toy.

The rest is history. I've really started to specialize in unique pet portraiture. My three main sellers are:
1. Crocheted Sugar Gliders-animated
2. Crocheted Sugar Gliders-realistic
3. Needle Felted Pet Portraits

When I'm not working for CCP, I've got plenty of other things to keep me busy! I am a pharmacy technician for Target, a receptionist at a local vet clinic, I just received my Art Education (Art Teacher) degree, substitute teaching AND planning my wedding.

I do make some leisure time to make sure that I play with my animals, spend time outside and visit friends and family.
