asks sketches seals drew all of these from life‚ they were far out on the rocks so very vague features haha i sometimes doodle their spots as random shapes which is where starbor seal came from :]

the first in a series of blue cyanotype prints depicts white, flowing, branch-like shapes beginning at the top of the page and descending down to the bottom. various tendrils of energy burst off in different directions off the page. small white particles are dispersed across the page, and blown-up drawings of microscopic dinoflagellates are also placed around the image.

a second blue cyanotype print depicts similar branch-like shapes to the first, though this time the flowing shapes are a pale blue and ascend from the lower left corner to the upper right corner of the page. pale blue fish resembling perches swim upwards and along the shapes, and more white particles are scattered around the page.

a third cyanotype print depicts the head and curved neck of a heron, blue on a white background. a fish comes in from the top left of the page, entering the heron's open beak. more flowing shapes are overlaid on the shape of the heron, as though flowing through its throat and body. they flow in a reverse S shape down the page, exiting in the bottom right.

a fourth and final blue cyanotype print. the pale blue energy forms come from the bottom right of the page, forking and branching into separate tendrils. this time, instead of entending off the page, these shapes taper off and stop. along the shapes, small white fungal forms appear to be growing, like mushrooms on a tree branch. they release small white spores across the page.

hi there! do you sell your originals or prints?

hi! :) not atm but soon! i was originally going to have a temporary inprnt up while researching manufacturers/website hosting etc., but the application never got accepted lol. i'm tentatively aiming to have everything set up in a month- hadn't considered selling originals, but if there's interest maybe i'll list some once i'm comfortable with the shipping process!

Hi! Do you offer prints of your celestial seal piece anywhere? It's so beautiful, I really love it!

Hi! I've gotten some asks about prints, thank you for the interest and kind words! :] I don't have any available yet, but I'm working on setting it up so stay tuned!

asks might use inprnt at first but i'd prefer doing it myself (edit: tried inprnt and submission didn't go through lol contemplating my options) might also make some starbor seal stickers
