There’s something I really love about the allure of these funguys - it all looks lovely and cute and cottagecore but every one I’ve done so far has a sinister, mysterious edge to it, that makes it really delicious in theme for me. Have I mentioned I’ve been getting into folk horror and more witchy cozy stories lately? https://www.whimsycottage.net/whimsy-cottage-lore/a-pocket-full-december monthly 0.5 2025-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691058634878f43d36ceeb64/1d980c4b-6058-47b2-96c9-a5c3bb0c247a/img044.jpg Whimsy Cottage Lore - A Pocketful of Studio Things: December - Make it stand out A scan from one of my art school journals - seriously I cannot understate how handy it is to have all of my notes from those years easily accessible! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691058634878f43d36ceeb64/1766961800033-YHV6TJI2HJ0XYJZ9L596/IMG_20251208_153037.jpg Whimsy Cottage Lore - A Pocketful of Studio Things: December https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691058634878f43d36ceeb64/1766961833690-L9I26JJJUM7SOEYMZ3WM/IMG20251210135704.jpg Whimsy Cottage Lore - A Pocketful of Studio Things: December https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691058634878f43d36ceeb64/1766961835322-1MN43ZMFC4PCWVTPM5HF/IMG20251210143106.jpg Whimsy Cottage Lore - A Pocketful of Studio Things: December https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691058634878f43d36ceeb64/1766961886293-SJIMJFS4DP6IPQIZ8P16/IMG20251210173034.jpg Whimsy Cottage Lore - A Pocketful of Studio Things: December https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691058634878f43d36ceeb64/e37e14b2-fb47-4196-aed2-691510f396de/Whimsy+Cottage.jpg Whimsy Cottage Lore - A Pocketful of Studio Things: December - nearlytuna (2025) mycelial rites, original gouache, watercolour and graphite on watercolour paper, 14.8 cm × 21.0 cm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691058634878f43d36ceeb64/5b81c9d6-db9c-4994-966b-63d1cd5ae050/Screenshot+2025-12-29+130426.png Whimsy Cottage Lore - A Pocketful of Studio Things: December - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691058634878f43d36ceeb64/03378c77-8059-4e52-bbc1-cd998b68692c/IMG20251219154958.jpg Whimsy Cottage Lore - A Pocketful of Studio Things: December - A New Zine! Also on the desk, is the first zine design I’ve worked on since at least 2020. A short 8 page mini formed from a cut and folded single A4 sheet of paper. This is one of those projects I pick away at slowly - combining digital painting and analgoue drawing in it’s design and creation. The beauty of A4 8 page zines is that they’re intended for a simple photocopy/print process - something I can scan, edit, print, fold and cut from home if needed. https://www.whimsycottage.net/whimsy-cottage-lore/behind-the-scenes-november monthly 0.5 2025-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691058634878f43d36ceeb64/768ff0e4-588a-4372-b312-ac6298d62d3c/Tuna+in+Studio.jpg Whimsy Cottage Lore - Behind the Scenes: November Thankfully, following the processes for becoming a sole trader here in Aotearoa has been blessedly easy. The details are all outlined on government websites and the hardest thing about it is remembering all the passwords and details for each form. Aside from my terrible memory, it has been pleasantly simple to get it all up and running. As for the website... All I can really say is: goodness me, people who can code and build their own websites? Good on them, for real. Your girl tuna? Not one of them. However, since Squarespace is fairly foolproof, and there’s loads of tutorials to watch and read through as you go through it - I reckon I’ve had a passable attempt at building an online presence here!
