Folk Toy Tapestry, Year of the Tiger- 2022, 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950

Written on the back:

Your dare mistake me, a majestic tiger, for a mere cat? Something's wrong with your sight, I'll tell you that! Let me lick those glasses of yours clean! (Quoth a tiger the size of a bean.) -Mythee

Lattice - Wood

The rectangular shapes of the lattice around the edges represent the wood element in Feng Shui.

Seasonal lucky symbolism - Summer

The word Bat sounds like the word for wealth, and so the bat symbolizes wealth, happiness and prosperity. It's true that up to the point where your needs are met, increased wealth does lead to happiness, but I think more bats also leads to more happiness by virtue of having less mosquitoes around. Unknown if that's the reason, but a pair of bats is also lucky symbolism for 'double happiness'. I included a pair of bats in each corner, to have all your bases covered. Get it? P.S. the flower is the Black Bat Flower, used in traditional Chinese medicine.

Folk Toy Tapestry, Year of the Ox - 2021, 2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961, 1949

Written on the back:

To its expectant herd, a gray ox spoke from cliffs threshold "An endless field to graze forever, just as I foretold." -"We think you need glasses," the herd replied. "How come?" Asked the gray ox. -"That's the ocean!" they cried. -Mythee

Lattice - Wood

The rectangular shapes of the lattice around the edges represent the wood element in Feng Shui.

Seasonal lucky symbolism - Summer

The lotus flower blooms in the summer, and given that every part of it has medicinal use, became symbolic of health. Capable of producing its loveliest blooms even from the murkiest waters, it symbolizes harmony, purity and spiritual renewal.

Folk Toy Tapestry, Year of the Rat - 2020, 2000, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948

Written on the back:

Three little mice running amok in town Up your pants and on your head and all around Keep your glasses on tight, Or they might knock them down! -Mythee

Lattice - Water

The wavy shapes of the lattice around the edges represent the water element in Feng Shui.

Seasonal lucky symbolism - Summer

Cicadas are symbolic of the summertime, but in Feng Shui, they are also a lucky symbol of longevity due to their relatively long natural lifespan for insects, up to around 17 years- more than enough time for a full cycle of the lunar zodiac to go by.

Please ignore ugly phone watermark! Here is my OC Bapkook in the doodle equivalent for colored pencils and watercolor. It was the deadline for an OC art rally and I'm tabling at Otafest so I did it very quickly yesterday morning x'D

The chicken sign I just finished sold at the Ren fair in the first 15-30 minutes. This was the only photo of it xD It's like I gave birth to a child and didn't get to hold it before it got taken away! I'm glad it found a loving home though!

Wood burned some pretty well received signs last year at the Ren faire. (Also painted, varnished and waxed them, hope to do so again). I got myself a kit of tips for this year to up my game. Here's a little preview of what is to come!

My dad tabled for us for an hour so Mist and I were able to attend Keith Silverstein's "The Art of Being Evil" panel at Anime Ottawa. I love that the guests they invite here get to host their own content. Really gives it flavor. Fun convention :D

please look at this delightful Wailord bottle I just pulled from an Aqua Bottle pokemon gacha box >O

A logo I made half a year ago for the Etsy shop that @fallingmist-art and I share together. I like it a lot, but it definitely matches her portfolio's look more than it does mine, haha!

It does represent the two of us, however. Making crepes, waffles, and lately Taiyaki are things we love to do together, and often. :D

A quickie motivational pic done for a friend of a friend, presently fighting cancer. I was asked for a buff penguin giving a thumbs up and the caption "YOU GOT THIS!" May he manifest the strength of all 20 million penguins in the Antarctic-!!

Was in an airport all day today, so glad to be back in Canada. Here's a little doodle I did some time ago for a friend!
