Swatch card for the gourmand bandana repeat pattern I created for author Idris Grey. Swatch card is a rectangle with the title and Babe&Oak stamp logo on the lower right side. Inside the frame is the pattern large scale. The swatch card is on top of the pattern at a smaller scale. Pattern is in tones of muted deep lavender, dark navy, warm blue and creamy beige taupe. The pattern is a mosaics of tiles in alternating colours with vignettes of abstract botanics and fruit illustrations. Fruit illustrations include a pear, a strawberry, a pair of cherries and a pair of peaches. The botanic abstracts are symmetrical and inspired by tin tile ceilings and florals including daisies. The tiles create a border along and diamond within a secondary light creamy white and pale blue fruit and botanic floral pattern. Together they form a 90s inspired bandana pattern.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch.

In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it.

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.
