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!

    hello Cally, your moonlight on the water looks enchanting, the water lily, the dragon flies, a fairy-tale, i can imagine sitting and look at this scene very quiet and for a long time, beautiful, x

    Indeed, very happy and peaceful moon atmosphere. Beautiful and, as Patrice already said, very Japanese Style. Lovely!

    Hi Cally, I like your moon-picture, especially the softness of it. And the reflection of the light in the water. It works so friendly and calm. I wish you a good week!

    What a beautiful illustration. So tranquil - I love the pattern fading in the sky and again in the water - so lovely...

    I'm glad it's still noticeable; the pattern was a lot more prominent in the original! Thanks for dropping by Nicky :)
