A Bookmark Commissioned By My Mom, As A Gift For Her Aunt.
A bookmark commissioned by my mom, as a gift for her aunt.
I know that she loves gardening and flowers, and she has a really beautiful maine coon cat, so I chose to draw her cat sitting in a lush garden.
In hindsight, I think I'd like to make the water in the pond look more realistic, but oh well, I simply didn't have the time for that.
I'm still quite happy with the outcome, and I've realised that I really enjoy making bookmarks!

Man, every year i get so excited for artfight, just to completely lose motivation after the first few attacks😭
I was really hoping to make more attacks than this, but oh well, i'll try to do more next year.
These attacks are in order from top to bottom:
Geronimo for @C0yote_BoneZ
Cloudpaw for @CupOtea
Wolfpaw for @Lycant
Sprout for @C0m3t_0n_p4ws
I had a lot of fun drawing these characters! Thank you to everyone who attacked me, i promise i'll try to revenge all the attacks i didn't get to this year next year!
More bookmarks!
These were also commissioned by my mother, though this time she bought them as a birthday gift for my aunt. It's really about time I open commissions for people other than my own mom lol
The bookmark with the fox and the raven took an insane amount of time, I think I spent 13 hours on it! I was really making sure to pay attention to the details, and to take my time including different species of plants and fungi that can be found in my local area. In the background there are bushes of european blueberry/bilberry, and in the foreground there grows crowberry, clubmoss and twinflower. The mushrooms are penny bun, birch bolete and chanterelle. The big ferns on the left are lady-fern and the small ones on the right are deer fern.
On the second bookmark there's the heads of a red fox and a mountain hare. The plants growing at the bottom are foxgloves and alpine bistort. (in Norwegian it is known as "harerug", directly translated as "hare rye") So both the plants match the names of the animals :)
These were a lot of fun to work on! I'm hoping to make more bookmarks in the future, maybe I could even take commissions online for them, if anyone's interested.
Emergency: Help Evacuate My Family From GAZA WAR
Dear Humanity,
I'm Haya from Gaza , from a family of 8 people: my parents, two sons, and four daughters (two of them suffer from allergies).
I've witnessed the evidence of the tragedy that has struck our lives in Gaza, where my family and I have survived amidst numerous previous wars. But today, we face the most dangerous and fierce battle in the current war. The urgent need intensifies for us, as we have nothing left and are unable to secure our basic needs such as food, water, and safe shelter.
Here is our story - On October 7th, our lives changed forever, my family and I evacuated from northern Gaza to southern Gaza, hoping to return soon, but it wasn't meant to be. Our home was surrounded, burned, and then completely destroyed, Our home, once a fortress of hope, now lay in ruins, a stark reminder of our shattered dreams.
The night before we left from the north to the south was terrifying. Shelling sounds were everywhere, making a loud noise that felt like it went through our souls. Every explosions shook the ground like earthquakes, sending shockwaves of fear through our trembling bodies. filling us with fear. The air smelled of destruction and blood, making it hard to breathe. When dawn came, we saw the devastation around us, realizing our home was now a symbol of loss and despair.
We ran into the streets and with each step we took into the unknown streets, we felt as if we were plunging deeper into the abyss of our shattered existence, leaving behind everything we own in our home: Clothes, important official documents, the car, and literally it's almost everything - the enormity of our loss weighed heavily upon us.
Our home it was where we found hope, safety, and made precious memories. Losing it felt like losing years of our lives, leaving us adrift amidst the wreckage of our shattered existence.
A brief video depicting the devastation that struck our home and our entire neighborhood in Gaza.
Desperate Plea: Escaping Gaza's Allergy Nightmare
I, Haya, suffer from severe allergy to penicillin-derived medications, and my sister, Amal, also suffers from severe allergies to medications from my family such as Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.
These allergies create a deep sense of fear and anxiety for us, as we live in a constant state of tension and fear of anything that may require a visit to the hospital. We fear being given inappropriate medications due to the unavailability of suitable treatments in Gaza because of war or lack of awareness and not informing the doctor of our allergies, which could lead to serious consequences threatening our lives.
MY Father Income
Our dreams are heading towards oblivion in the labyrinth of an uncertain future
My story, along with my siblings, represents a united team of four individuals, three of whom are skilled programmers and one graphic designer. We work as freelancers in the world of freelancing.
As for my younger sister, she is a student studying at the College of Architecture. She has always carried a big dream in her heart, a dream of being part of changing Gaza, of making it more beautiful and better. She looked forward to the day when she would receive her degree and start building this dream. But the beginning of the war changed everything. The destruction of infrastructure and universities cast shadows of despair over her dreams.
When I think of my brother in Belgium, I can't help but feel deep sadness. He has been suffering from unbearable anxiety and insomnia since the outbreak of the war. Sleep eludes him at night, and his physical and mental health collapses under the weight of these heavy burdens, negatively affecting his performance at work. Problems and challenges pile up in front of him without the slightest opportunity for rest.
We all feel psychological pressure and extreme anxiety. The war hasn't been limited to external attacks but has deeply infiltrated our daily lives. We search among the rubble for a little safety and the basic resources for survival. Every day comes with a new challenge that we must overcome.
As we sway amidst the rubble of shattered dreams, our souls wrestle and our hearts beat strongly challenging the ravages of war.
Our parents earnestly seek a way to rescue us from this hell, feeling the heavy responsibility for every moment we spend under the shadows of fear and destruction. They dream of a safe place where they can build for us a better future, filled with security and hope, for we deserve life in all its meanings of comfort and peace.
Perhaps this fundraising campaign represents a light in the midst of darkness, it is indeed the only hope we cling to firmly.
I appeal to the world as a whole to hear my cry and the mournful cry of my family in Gaza. We need the helping hand that reaches out to wipe our tears and build a bridge to safety.
Your donation is not just a donation; it's an opportunity to rebuild life and brighten a better tomorrow. Be part of our hopeful story, for we need your hand to start anew.
The purpose of the fundraising campaign

Palestine campaigns with under a thousand donations
Trying a new tactic with the fundraisers on my pinned list. These campaigns appear to gain a lot more traction when the number of donations hits a thousand, so here's a way to highlight those that could use more. These have all been vetted by Palestinians on Tumblr. Just like the main list, I'll keep you all updated with how things progress, and as always, if you can't donate, reblog.
