Fox and Brambles

My entry for the senior show. Fox and Brambles. Lithographic Print. 2013

Harpy

So my mom stopped by during the senior show here at school and I got to show her my final for lithography. Our theme was 'myth' which I suggested and this is the WIP.

For some further reading:

In Greek mythology, a harpy (Greek: ἅρπυια, harpyia, pronounced [hárpuja]; Latin: harpeia) was one of the winged spirits best known for constantly stealing all food fromPhineus. The literal meaning of the word seems to be "that which snatches" as it comes from the Greek word harpazein (ἁρπάζειν), which means "to snatch".

A harpy was the mother of the horses of Achilles sired by the West Wind Zephyros .^[1]

Hesiod^[2] calls them two "lovely-haired" creatures, and pottery art depicting the harpies featured beautiful women with wings. Harpies as ugly winged bird-women, e.g. inAeschylus' The Eumenides (line 50) are a late development, due to a confusion with the Sirens. Roman and Byzantine writers detailed their ugliness.^[3]

Me and a friend have been working on this shield design for the game Dark Souls II. I would love it if you guys could share this or vote. Please go HERE and vote.

Owls

Here are a few new owls I've made in the past couple of months. Lots of colors for these pudgy little guys.

This little one is green, white, and pink and hangs from a yellow stone and antique brass link bracelet.

Probably my favorite because of the sky blue and baby pink colors. After the craft fair I went to last year I've nearly sold out of owls and this is one of my last owl necklaces I have. But it's always nice knowing there's someone else enjoying them.
