Here’s a new smaller fox rug design! I’ve used this design for a pair of larger rugs, but this is their premier as medium rugs. The little tongues and noses were a bit of a challenge at this size, but I think they turned out pretty well!
Do you prefer the classic orange fox or the more flamboyant silver fox design?

Another new design for a well-loved subject: Tabby kittens! Most of my tabby designs are based on my two ginger cats, but this one is based on a kitten I saw at the local cat cafe, Purrfect Cup.
I love how kittens have cartoonishly large ears and eyes. They’re so goofy and charming.

The next design for our seal sticker pack is the Ringed Seal!
Ringed seals have such beautiful patterns. It’s hard to pick out a “cutest” when it comes to seals, but ring seals might be it for me. They’re also the smallest true seal, which definitely ups the cute factor.

Here’s a new design I’m premiering this year: Seals! You miiiight have noticed that I’ve been on a real seal kick. I couldn’t not make a seal rug design! These little guys are based loosely off a harbour seal. I’d love to do a larger, more realistic take on these little guys some day.
Do you prefer the grey/blue or brown/orange variation? They both look so cheerful and friendly, I can’t decide!
Watch me design and create these rugs in my latest Skillshare class:

Some lil tree frogs!
I’m retiring this frog design from my medium rugs, but I thought it would make a cute mini rug! I decided to keep with block colours instead of rainbow for these little guys. Their tiny size and relatively complex shape would make rainbow versions a little too busy imo. After I finished these, I was kicking myself for not making an aqua version to look like a White’s tree frog. Maybe next time…
Do you have a preference between the light and darker greens? Do you think a rainbow design would work for these little guys?

I’m so excited to announce my newest online class: Stylizing Subjects for Rug Tufting.
This is a mini class (about 15 minutes long) discussing designing your own cartoony rugs. This class is for anyone who wants to start making their own simplified rug designs. It covers using reference photos and how to use shape language and basic colour theory to create a dedicated mood with your rugs. It is designed as a supplement to my Beginner Rug Tufting class, but it can also work as a stand-alone introduction to rug tufting.
I really hope this class will help tufters who rely on other people’s designs to branch out and start creating their own, completely unique works of art!

Here are some mini husky rugs!
These little guys are based on a past commission. I thought the base design was simple enough that it would make a cute mini rug, and it’s nice to work with a dog design that’s not one of my border collies haha!
This time I chose blue eyes on the orange (red) husky, but still went with green on the blue (black) husky. Blue eyes are just so husky-ish! But I also appreciate how mellow the green looks against the blue without being too same-same. What do you think?

My sticker pack for October/November is the spookiest animals of all: Seals! Um, yup, that’s definitely right. Spooky. 😛
This cutie is a harp seal. They’re probably the most iconic seal species in Canada, but they’re often shown as white, fluffy babies. (SO CUTE!) I love the adults’ dramatic patterning, and really wanted to showcase it with this design.
This adorable harp seal is our Ko-fi exclusive holofoil, jumbo vinyl sticker for this month! You can either subscribe to the sticker tier or buy the sticker directly here: https://ko-fi.com/s/1ef3854d26
Once these jumbo cuties sell out, just the regular 2.5” seals will be available, so be sure to grab one if you want one!

New to the mini rug family, here are some foxes! I based this design on my 2021 large fox rugs (the 2022 has more detail and I didn’t think it’d scale down as well), and I’m pretty happy with them! I really love representing both red and silver foxes. I should do a cross fox some time if I remember haha!
I went with green eyes for these guys again. I think they work really well for the orange foxes and feel more natural than blue, but I kinda wish I’d gone with orange eyes on the blue foxes to maximise their foxiness.
