Blue Hydrangeas Product Roundup

Happy Summer! In honor of the (hot sweaty) season, I’ve found six cool artsy-fartsy items that show a flower I love that’s starting to bloom in my area, the hydrangea.

Hydrangeas come in colors ranging from blue to purple to pink to even red and white. Outside my bedroom window, I have a massive blue hydrangea bush. My dad has tried his best to knock back the mass, but they just keep growing.

It’s big and I love it.

Anyway, here’s some stunning blue hydrangea art works and products for you to enjoy!

blue hydrangeas products

1) Of The Earth/Flower Seed Paper, Bright Blue Hydrangea Pressed Flowers

These beauties inspired this post! This pack comes with 25 of the small blue flowers that make up the big bundles of color I love, perfectly pressed for all your hydrangea needs. The store also has papers with flowers, seeds, and other greenery embedded in them, along with tons of other pressed flowers.

2) Senniman Calligraphy, Blue Hydrangea Soft Enamel Pin

I love a good pin, and this enamel hydrangea fits the bill. The design is simple yet elegant, gold-lined but not too feminine for my tastes. Basically the perfect hydrangea pin.

3) Suren Art, Hydrangea Flowers and Ruby Throat Hummingbird Art Print

Before I gave up on trying to manage the feeder, we used to have hummingbirds flutter above my hydrangeas. Hummingbirds and hydrangeas always remind me of sitting in the window with a good book, tea, and my cat. I adore this print and all the memories it calls to mind.

4) Color and Color, Blue Purple Hydrangea Flower Sticker

The watercolor style of this piece captures the colors of the hydrangea beautifully! The addition of the purple is very nice. The design comes on tons of other products, so head to Redbubble and see what you like!

5) Hello Twiggs, Blue Hydrangeas Art Print

A lovely soft photograph of a bunch of flowers at the peak of their bloom. Displaying this print would be an easy way to bring a little brightly-colored summer into the chilliest of winter rooms!

6) Junkydotcom, Floral Water Color Blue Lilac Dress

Yes, the title says “blue lilac”, but those are definitely some gorgeous blue hydrangea on the pattern of this dress! I haven’t worn a dress since…2011, maybe? But this one’s great. This artist has a bunch of pretty flower patterns, check them out!

BONUS

Want to buy yourself a blue hydrangea but can’t head out to the stores to get one? Here’s an online option from Etsy, and a basic care guide! Happy planting!

Otter Product Roundup

Welcome to the otter product roundup! Today we’re looking at the slickest little water cat, the otter.

ollie the otter at zion

Ollie, my otter friend from Seattle, approves of this topic fully. This is a semi-blurry otter pic of Ollie at Zion National Park last summer, hanging out by the river. He claims it’s his natural habitat (but the one time he got wet he was not pleased).

If you need some otter action (and who doesn’t), there are live feeds available from the Georgia Aquarium, Monterey Bay Aquarium , and in my neck of the woods, Maymont.

Here’s some cool otter art!

1) Glitter Punk Jewelry, Land and Sea Hugging Otters Pin

AAAHHH SO CUTE. I love the night sky behind the hugging otters! Glitter Punk Jewelry has a bunch of other cool pins and artworks available with cuddling animals. Check them out!

2) Tartankiwi Patterns, Otterly Adorable Quilt Pattern

If you’re looking for your own otter art to make, check out this quilt block pattern! Make your own otter posse quilt! I mean, look at that face, how can you resist? 

3) Sophie Corrigan, I Love You Like No Otter Print

Adorable. This is not the only otter art from Sophie Corrigan, and she sells over numerous different platforms. There’s a wonderful otter jotter notebook, but that looks like it’ll be out of stock shortly.  Sophie’s also got other punny works, like my personal favorite, the “Tom Waits, Patiently” print.

4) nvdesign, I Just Really Like Otters, OK? T-Shirt

I just really like otters, okay? And these otters are beautiful.

5) Mark Wheeler Photography, Otter Print

Look at this otter! So slick! So focused! This otter is going places, I tell you what.

…like back in the water.

6) alenaz, Otter This World Sticker

This sticker is otterly amazing (sorry)(not).

Opossums – Product Roundup

Welcome to the first Possum Paper Works Product Roundup! In this series, I’ll choose one topic (usually a word or phrase) and find neat pieces on Etsy, Redbubble, Society6, and wherever else artists and creators sell their works for your perusal and support.

Today our theme is the mighty nocturnal warrior: the opossum. At home in both the country and the city, the opossum is both a danger to humans (so many teeth, kind of jerks) and a boon to us (unlikely to get Rabies, kills unwanted things).

At the hands of the artists in this post, possums have become symbols of country pride and of punk rebellion; they are cute and cuddly and ready to fight you.

With that in mind, here’s six cool opossum artworks!


product roundup 1

1) Juniper Moon Folk Arts, Happy Boi ‘Possum Pin

Look at this happy little cowboy hat boi! So much joy. I love the works that JMFA put out. Country possum punks are my favorite possum punks.

6/15/20 Update: Autostraddle did an article on JMFA, proving that country possum punks are the best kinds of possum punks. <3

2) Sharpie Harpy, Resist Normativity Prints and Sticker

When this came out on Etsy I just about died. I first saw Sharpie Harpy art on a trip to Asheville right after I started my shop, and I loved the work and quickly followed the store on Etsy. I have not been disappointed. Recently I was gifted one of their works, the Orville Peck relief print bandana and I absolutely adore it. I cannot recommend this artist’s work highly enough.

3) Dipped In Ink Crochet, Timothy Opossum Crochet Pattern

I named my crochet opossum from Dipped in Ink Crochet Paulie, and the pre-made possum is not currently available, but you can still pick up a PDF of the pattern for Tiny Timothy the Opossum! If you’re not into crochet, there’s tons of other nerdy and cute characters available.

4) Possum Paper Works, Possum Paper Logo Sticker

It’s me! This is the official Possum Paper Works logo, available on a sticker just for you! Your guitar case, laptop, water bottle, or  your sick 1950s Chevy Bel Air looking drab? In the east coast version of a classic Portlandia sketch, put a possum on it! Disclaimer: I cannot be blamed if an opossum appears in your kitchen because of this sticker. Opossums do what they want.

5) Saint Duke, Deviant Art Print

I just dig this, what can I say? I know I said earlier country possum punks are my favorite, but this dude is pretty cool too. He kind of looks like a vampire possum. Which is a bit redundant, I suppose, with the nocturnal thing and the teeth…regardless. Very cool art.

6) Sive Lobanova, Opossum Trash Club T-Shirt

I, too, identify as the trash.
