New Color Palette

My ballerinas have a new look! I really like the way this more subdued palette (with a pop of magenta) turned out. $20 each.

- Owls -

I'm about to make my newest group of prints available: owls! Who doesn't love owls? They never seem to go out of fashion, despite the fact that we really should all be sick of them by now. So here is my contribution to the owl pool. Each of these will be 8X10" ($20 each), but I will make larger versions available if there is interest (8X10's always sell the best).
I've also decided on some new color options for my Mermaids. The single baby girl with the Mom is the best seller, so I've made those in a few palettes: taupe/yellow, pink/orange, coral/olive, and lavender/blonde.



There are still boy options available. And, as always, lots of giraffes. I will be putting up 5X7" sizes of my ballerinas as soon as I can get them photographed. Also, I've put my "Octopus Garden" 12" square print back in stock.

- Pick Your Fave -

Since I am having to do away with custom color options on my prints, I'm trying to decide which color options to have in stock. Here are a bunch of options for my mermaid print. Please leave a comment and tell me which are your favorite (meaning, if you were going to actually buy one to match your decor, which would you choose). Click on the image to see it a lot bigger. Thanks much.

- Wall Stickers -

These super cute wall decals are from Chocovenyl, a UK based shop that sells fabulous fabric wall stickers on Etsy and now has their own site. They are make my alphabet letters and some cute sets by one of my favorite designers, Helen Dardik: Princess and the Pea and Little Red Riding Hood

More Giraffes

When I re-open my shop I plan to add some more giraffe prints to compliment the original. Now Available! 4X6" single giraffe and 9X16.5" Giraffe Trio.

I've decided to completely empty out my Etsy shop. I am flushing out all my current inventory (everything is on sale) and as soon as its gone I'm going to close the shop for an undetermined amount of time. I'm currently working on illustrating a children's book with my Aunt, and I want time to create new art. I haven't even filled a sketchbook in a long time! So someday I'll open up The Paper Nut again, but now is not the season. In the meantime, I'll be showing any new work on this blog. If there's ever anything you wish you could buy, just let me know and we'll work something out.

- Helen Dardik is My Hero -

I practically broke down and cried when I saw these beautiful pattern designs by Helen Dardik. They were made for her Tuileries collection available on high-quality gift cards from Lagom. These are amazing (this isn't even all of them!). I'm getting some to frame as art in my house.
