I actually collect prints of soft sea creatures (encephalopods and jellyfish and such)- really specific, but surprisingly easy. This is my woodblook moku hanga "Little Boat, Big Ocean", a 4-colour screenprint by
animalsleep, and my jellyfish lino block print in my hallway. The hallway is a bit dark and narrow, so the photograph does not really do these prints justice; I think they look better in person.
The art in the bedroom is supposed to suggest sleep, including the starry kite constellation screenprint of
labpartners,
Emma Kidd's origami bear, Di's painting of the animals on the duvet and the birch trees at night etching.
I love the particular brand of magic of etsy printmaker
animalsleep and so I bought this screenprint of a boy and giant hawk against the night sky. One can imagine the fairy story to go with the image.
I framed it using some printed Chinese paper as a matt. Not a propos but I have been enjoying using patterned patters in framing and the colours are exactly right.
This night time image is also on the bedroom wall.
This was a bonus with the
animalsleep prints so I framed it somewhat idiosyncratically in a vintage oval frame with some Japanese washi papers as matts, and added the night scene with crescent moon to the bedroom wall.
By the table, I have the
kozyndan photo of bunnyfish and koi, the found giant Indonesian shadow puppet, a plate, a half horse on a plaque, a tiny water colour, a horse paper doll from the PinPals, a Dutch silhouette, a painting by Di and the Yeehaw Industries psychic owl calendar.
Right, I am off to get the laundry. Wish me luck!
(Edit: BTW, I was never irrate, I seem to have slipped on the mood pull-down menu.
