Rainbow Painted Turtle Sticker

Painted turtles are so fun to paint because of their flashy colours! The contrast between red and green is just so striking. It almost feels like cheating to paint these guys in rainbow.

This little friend is the last of the rainbow turtle sticker pack! It’s also the Ko-fi exclusive holofoil sticker for February. Please sign up on Ko-fi any time in February to get this little guy.

Rainbow Map Turtle Sticker

These turtles are sooo beautiful! Their intricate patterns are really mesmerising. I had a lot of fun painting this one and trying out new techniques to represent those patterns. I’d love to do a full painting of a map turtle one of these days.

Rainbow Snapping Turtle Sticker

I don’t know what it is about snapping turtles that makes them so charming and charismatic. (But ya’ know, from a respectful distance.) They remind me of dinosaurs so much more than other turtles, and their stompy feet are adorable. All that to say, I had a ton of fun painting this guy!

Red Eared Slider

Red eared sliders are probably my favourite turtle. They’re just so gregarious. That flash of red on their faces is really fun to paint, too! I decided to go maximum rainbow on this guy and give it a rainbow shell.

Cat and Dog Micro Rugs

These adorable little guys are more micro-sized rugs! I free-handed the tortie in some extra space I had around another rug, and it’s extra small at just under 6” on the longest side. I created a template for the two tabby rugs, but they ballooned a bit up to 7”. They feel a little hefty for tree ornaments, but they’d still be very cute wall decor! The puppers are also around 7” but are quite a bit lighter because of their shape.

The blue tortie is available for sale, but the blue tabby is a door prize at the Capital Art Sale running at 1111 Regent St. Today is the last day, so please be sure to check them out!

Mini Border Collie Rugs

Here are two small rugs of a border collie puppy! I really love the look of the orange border collie for some reason. These are the last two rugs I’ll be making from this design! I’m excited to create some new, smaller designs for next year.

These rugs are about 13” on the longest side and come with two D-rings attached for easy wall-hanging.

These rugs will be available at the Capital Art Sale running December 7-10 at 1111 Regent St.

Calico Rug

This is very probably my favourite rug I’ve created so far. I experimented a lot with carving the yarn after the rug was tufted and glued, and that gives this piece especially sharp, clean details. I also just really enjoy the balance of colours. This design was based off a kitty I met at Purrfect Cup a couple years ago. The little kitty found her forever home long ago, but there are always more kitties in need of loving homes.

This rug will be available at the Capital Art Sale, starting tonight, and running December 7-10 at 1111 Regent St.

Biiiiiiig Stretch

It feels soooo good to be painting again after working on rugs for so long! I decided to ease back into it by painting my favourite subject in some dramatic lighting. I’d paint cats all day, every day if I could. <3

This original painting, and exactly two prints, will be available at the Capital Art Sale running December 7-10 at 1111 Regent St. Watercolour always looks way better in person, so I definitely encourage you to check it out if you can!
