I designed a poster for my workspace that used one of my photos. Our place in New York is temporary due to school and I haven't done any decorating since we moved in. I wanted something near my desk and thought of using this photo.
There are a few extras in my shop.

Another constellation painting today. Noctua, the owl is an obsolete consellation that sits on the tail of the Hydra, but I thought it could easily look like a tree branch.
Noctua means Little Owl in latin.
This and a few other constellation paintings are available as 4x6 prints in my shop.

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?

Finishing up the series of four paintings today with a bear and bird.
This mini series was a little different for me, but I really enjoyed it. I've got a few more poems to share this week too.

Another collaboration with my mum. A musical squirrel duo playing banjo and accordion.
I hope it's not too hard to read or too small and on another note I think the comments issue has been fixed, so thank you for pointing it out! Happy Weekend!

Thanks for your comments on last week's Dial K for Kitty post. It's always exciting to get feedback about something you really enjoy doing. I've been addicted to trying out new things and making patterns since I got this fabric design book.
This set features the cats love cameras print with a few new cameras thrown in.
I think the second set of starbust diamonds is one of my favorites. I had a vintage set of glassware at some point that had a similar pattern, I was reminded of it when I thought about the camera flash.

Continuing with yesterdays fox in the foxgloves, two badgers. Not honey badgers though, I imagine these to be quite sweet.
Two more paintings to come in this series.

With all the cold weather we've had, I'm finding a lot of time to paint.
Fox in the Foxgloves will be in my next shop update in a few weeks. A few more paintings to come in this series.

I've been working all week on getting my new stock photographed and listed in the shop. There's plenty of new products for the new year, some of which debuted at the Bust show in December.
Firstly, I'm offering four valentines cards designs this year.
I've also added my Alphabet Card Set which is 26 illustrated A2 sized cards which can be hung in a nursery.
I'll also be offering more large poster 11x17 prints this year.
There are tons of other goodies in store including: rings, necklaces, pin packs, prints and original paintings. Additionally, there are a few FQ of my spoonflower fabric from my stash.
I'm very much looking forward to a relaxing break this weekend! Hope you have a great long weekend, too!
