More mini rugs, this time corgis! I really love how the tri corgis turned out. I’d love to try these guys as a larger rug design, so I can squeeze in more detail.
These guys are available right now at the Capital Art Sale! Be sure to swing by and check out all the art by amazing local artists!
Trying something new for these mini rugs: Dutch bunnies! I don’t think Dutchies come in brown, but we can pretend. These little friends are about 7″ tall and have a little ribbon on the back for easy hanging. They’ll be up for sale at the Capital Art Sale here in Fredericton starting this Wednesday! I will not be making this design again, so be sure to grab one if you want one!

Next up in our Canadian seals sticker pack is the harbour seal! Harbour seals are the second smallest seals, just a bit bigger than ringed seals, and are pretty common in southern NB. I feel like these little guys are some of the most charismatic seals, because we see them so often around beaches up here.
I went with a cool colour palette for this little guy to emphasise their silver-grey patterning. I think they’ll pop really well against the warm colours of the ringed, grey, and bearded seal designs in this set.

Here’s my latest big rug design: A leopard! I had so much fun with my tiger design last year that I wanted to do another big cat. Leopards are so gorgeous and elegant! Definitely one of my top favourite wild cats.
I went with a lighter green-blue-purple gradient for the stripes to really emphasise the colours. I find going too dark with the pattern tends to wash out the overall colours of the rug.
This rug will be available at the Capital Art Sale at 1150 Prospect St starting Wednesday, November 29th! Please feel free to swing by and see it in person, and check out all the other amazing art by local artists while you’re there!

Finally, another sticker design for this month’s sticker pack: A bearded seal!
Bearded seals are kind of plain looking; brown or grey evenly all over. Except they have the most amazing whiskers! They may be my favourite species of Canadian seal just because their whiskers are so dramatic and fun. The pups are also pretty funny looking; they remind me of old dogs with those dramatic grey eyebrows and muzzles. I’d love to paint one of those little guys some day.

These two medium sized huskies make up the full set of husky rugs! The original, large size was a commission, and I adjusted the template for these medium rugs and some minis.
I had a lot of fun playing with the colours on these guys. I really love the chocolate/orange husky (with a light pink nose!), but the classic black/blue is really striking in person, too.
These are the final rugs I’ll be making with this design, but I hope to revisit huskies again in the future!

A fresh take on the seal of approval pun so popular among seal merch makers: The gay seal of approval! Or the seal of gay approval. OR the seal of gay AND approval. Either way, you can’t lose!
My scanner destroyed the oranges and yellows on this, as usual, so I touched them up digitally. The sticker actually looks closer to the original than the scan.
I’m also sending out a special holofoil version of this guy in addition to the monthly stickers over on Ko-fi. Be sure to sign up for the sticker tier any time this month if you want this bonus sticker!
Or you can grab the regular vinyl sticker on Etsy: https://squidtartsart.etsy.com/ca/listing/1590687108/gay-seal-of-approval-vinyl-sticker

Here’s our holofoil sticker for this month and the next sticker for the seal sticker pack: a grey seal!
Grey seals have such varied and interesting patterns! Some of them seem to have one solid colour and others are more spotty or blotchy. There also seem to be two colour morphs: grey and brown. I decided to go with the brown colour morph here and use warm colours for this screamy little friend.
If you want the jumbo, holofoil version of this little guy, be sure to check out my Ko-fi any time this month to grab one!
