armadillo + other animals that come from london

My weekend was rather low-key (i've got to stop with this hibernating in winter phase!).

And when Sunday came around, I was really happy to see that the very talented Melody from one of the cities I adore the most (London!) had featured my armadillo print in her treasury.

They all look really cute together!

Her blog and her art are also out of this world and here are just a few of my favorites up in her shop... bunnies!

The kitty illustration makes me think of another brilliant artist from London that I'm pretty much obsessed with at the moment...Julia Pott. Seriously amazing! Just look!...

found from her blog

and from her etsy shop

feathers and friends

this bear...

is now up in the etsy gift guides "woodland and feathers" section!

Totally thrilled to be up there with so many other talented artists! Including the very sweet Lee, who makes the most wonderful badges anyone could ever want...

Another darling, Meredith from Green Eden Vintage featured my forest raccoon on her blog! Her beautiful photographs and vintage clothing are definitely worth checking out!!

Today I've been busy in my studio working on some new paintings that will be up in my shop soon! New things may involve a curious grey rabbit and a skunk!

I really can't stop finding things that I love, and here are just a few of them...

1) scarf bunnies gocco print by argylewhale. (and you must check out her seriously cute & inspiring blog.)

2) grizzly bear silhouette cushion by encorepetite. (and her charming & lovely blog. )3) animal embroidery that I discovered at astulabee blog. the images are so intricate and creative that I instantly fell in love. and she also has an etsy shop! 4) colorful ink blot images from kaitlynsullivan (who also has a very colorful and sweet blog as well.)

little things in woods

I'm so happy to show off my new little creations! These little framed paintings contain the sweetest woodland critters and forest findings. When I hung them all up together my heart kind of melted and I almost thought about keeping them to myself. But all of these painted wall hangings will be available individually in my shop this Monday afternoon, January 26th!

The pretty colored ribbon for each piece will be included for hanging and displaying!

hush hush

Top secret projects are so much fun...

I've been thinking a lot about adding something fun and a little different to my shop.

Moving back to the city in September made me uncover a few things taken from mom's craft room (she seriously has TONS of little crafty things from mostly the 80's just collecting dust). Actually I have taken things here and there over the years but never found the perfect use for some of these little gems. Until now!

Some of my uncoverings:
1) little golden & white bordered frames

2) lots of ribbon

mixed with some of my usual woodsy inspiration:

-one of my favorite thrifted nature books & favorite forest related office decor:

A little preview coming soon!

In spirit of surprises and secrets, this is the song I currently have on repeat:

"hush hush" by michael yonkers band. so good!
