My linocut shows 2 blue mussel. The blue mussel (Mytilus edulis), or common mussel, is a medium-sized edible marine bivalve mollusc in the family Mytilidae. They are aptly called common mussels and are found on temperate beaches worldwide. Perfect for your favourite malachologist, beach comber, gourmand or shell collector, each 8” x 8” print is hand printed on Japanese paper.

If you need a little microbiology in your fabrics you can find my radiolarians in the minouette Spoonflower shop in a few different colourways. I love their shapes!

Radiolarians (or radiolaria) are a type of tiny creature -amoeboid protozoa which produce mineral skeletons.

They occur as zooplankton throughout the oceans and their tiny skeletal remains can be used as diagnostic fossils to date submarine sediments.

Raccoon Greetings for National High Five Day! This is a portrait of a former neighbour who showed up at my back door like this, to enquire as to where I had moved the compost bin. So I took his photo and made a print.

Toronto belongs to the raccoons. They just let us live here because we have good snacks.
