Fox Cubs

The eagle pair I posted pictures of at about this time last year have moved their nesting site. To avoid disturbing the new nest, cameras will be set up in the autumn after this year's chicks have flown but in the meantime, my boyfriend came across this yesterday:

Fox cubs born on the 27th of March

Filming these foxes is part of a great Dutch project set up in the Oostvaardersplassen, a dry and wetland nature reserve and example of rewilding. The habitat is relatively new and the ultimate goal is to have wildlife corridors between this reserve and others of it's kind well into France and Germany! See more videos of the newborn cubs and find out more at Volg De Vos (Follow the Fox)!

The Moon

It feels like such a long time since I've written here but I've been busy all the same with future projects! I'll have to wait a while before I can post about those but here's something I've been working on last week:

Love, Luck & Happiness Decal Mural

I had a brilliant request from a lovely person through Spoonflower to adapt the Love, Luck & Happiness calendar for a mural. It was pretty tricky working out all the elements into this format but I love how it's turned out! The measurements left a space at the top of the three 30 inch decals which I filled with another design (of her choice) to cut off and use in another project:

Woodland Mural

This was also originally a calendar and I really enjoyed playing around with the elements to fit the space.

Patrice A. is hosting a drawing challenge over on her blog this week; subject: the moon, so I'm submitting the mural image above. I first came across her work on V's brilliant advent calendar and absolutely love her owl cushion - click through for the links to all contributed moon pictures!
