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.
The Mountain hare/skogshare reminds you of the importance to wash your feet, including between your toes!
