For the month of November, the artist of the month is Duckycaps, who is located in Malaysia! She has been around since 2021! Inspired by animals, nature and anime, her designs are adorably elegant. 😍 Lately her designs have also a touch of food too (think matcha, bread and yummy things). Her creations are not only limited to artisan keycaps, but charms, pins and keychains!
Shipping (to South East Asia) is US$15 (S$20~) for normal registered mail, which is somewhat reasonable. If you want faster delivery via DHL, it would be US$26 (S$35).
International shipping via DHL is as below, otherwise it would be US$18 (S$25~):
- North America (US & Canada): US$31 (S$42~)
- Australia & New Zealand: US$32 (S$44~)
- Europe: US$32 (S$42~)
- South East Asia: US$26 (S$35~)
Her keycap creations range from an average of US$28 (S$38~) to US$40+(S$55~) . The price range is reasonable along with the unique and good quality designs. 😆

I first came across Duckycaps on Instagram, and one day she was having a raffle sale on her matcha series! 😍
It was a touch decision to choose between Tobi the rabbit, Toshi the dog or Tokki the kitty, but choose I did. I saw the adorable Matcha Toshiba and just had to get him.
Duckycaps recently opened her online store for international buyers, but this I got Toshi via Google forms. The form was easy to complete, the process was straight forward as well. Payment was either via Stripe, Wise or PayPal. Needless to say I selected PayPal as the payment option. I ended up paying S$77.33 (US$55). If you are located in Malaysia, the ordering would be done via Google Forms. You can find the details on her Instagram page.
From the time the order was put in to the time little Toshi was received, it took about 1.5 months to arrive. Duckycaps was really responsive via Instagram, it was such a pleasure chatting with her too. Do remember to check out her page and give her the support she deserves!
Packaging was sufficient: little Toshi was protected within a box and even came with a packet of matcha tea! There were also cute matcha themed stickers.

The overall experience was fantastic. Isn’t little Toshi adorable and so detailed? I love the side floral details. 😀
One thing to note about Duckycaps is that she is taking some time off so she is not as active, but she is still around, so do occasionally stalk out her page to see if she has anything new.
