Last week, I started looking up constellations and became fascinated with animal constellations. I wasn't aware there were all kinds of animals including Felis the cat and Noctua the owl which are now obsolete.
I also made a pattern that I'm thinking of getting printed on silk or voile for a scarf.
The pattern includes Noctua (owl) Ursa Major (Bear) Aquila (Eagle) Apus (Crane) Lepus (Hare) Felis (Cat) Vulpecula (Fox) Cygnus (Swan) and Canis major (dog).
I've only done a little star-gazing before and can pick out the plough and a few others, but I'm excited to look into the skies more this summer. Do you have a favorite constellation?
oh, these prints are SO awesome!!! I LOVE IT. I would totally buy a scarf with this pattern on it. ;-)
I think my favorite constellation is Orion, the whole thing, not just the belt. It is typically the only one I can ever absolutely identify, and is therefore familiar and comforting to me. :-)

That pattern is awesome!! I would love any variety of things with that on it...
As for constellations I don't know them too well. I'm currently living in the boonies with more stars than I've ever seen before (besides a some camping/vacations and such)...sooo I have been looking up a lot more!
