Wild Flower Wreath PNG Clipart Border For Mother’s Day

Wild Flower Wreath PNG Clipart Border For Mother’s Day

I shocked myself silly this morning:

I was on my computer, getting some work done, and I suddenly saw that it was Saturday.

“Wait… isn’t Mother’s Day on Sunday? That’s tomorrow?”

And I freaked out for a moment before I realized that…

… it’s NEXT Sunday.

The reason I got confused?

I got an email yesterday, from this health researcher I’m following:

He used to have heart disease, kidney failure, and cancer. The doctors gave him months to live. Including his doctor brother, and his surgeon brother-in-law. And they all told him to accept his fate. That’s how life is, and all that jazz…

But he ignored them.

Did his own research. And figured out natural ways to keep pushing his “death date” back a little further, a little further, a little further…

… until he cured himself.

15 years later he’s still alive today.

But now, he’s looking for ways to push his “death date” all the way back to the 200s or 300s.

Anyway:

The email showed a photo of his mom. And talked about how he helped her overcome various health issues. And she lived to the ripe old age of 100. Before she passed away naturally of old age.

And it was a remembrance email for Mother’s Day.

And that sort of got me confused…

But just to clarify:

It’s next week!

Not this week. So don’t freak out!

And if you don’t have your gifts ready yet, it looks like this is what most people in my store are using to “pretty up” their gifts this Mother’s Day:

And yes, I did draw it all by myself.

By hand… or paw…

And if you tell your mom the artwork was drawn by a bunny, she’ll love it… especially if she loves bunnies… 😉

She’s Using My Wreaths To Turn Antiques Into Modern Art

She’s Using My Wreaths To Turn Antiques Into Modern Art

Here’s a letter I got straight from the hometown of Albert Einstein – Bavaria!

And it’s from turnip-lover, Marlena.

She writes:

Dear Aurelia,
I need to say thank you for your beautiful art. I especially love the ginkgo wreath and now it adorns my door. it is a 70 year old door. it now looks contemporary with your wonderful graphics. thank❤️ with greetings from Bavaria Marlena

Thanks so much for sharing, Marlena!

I love how contemporary your door looks now, too…

Most of our fans use my art to create new stuff. But I’m intrigued with the idea of using my art to take something old, and make it totally new again!

More:

Last night, I was on YouTube, watching a day in the life of someone who “makes old things new” for a living.

He was a… taxidermist.

Which basically means…

He takes the skin and bones of dead old animals, (like tigers, lions, elephants, and more) and… stuffs them… and turns them into new living models!

He mentioned how:

He saw someone do it as a kid once.

And thought it was interesting. Got obsessed with it. Bought all the books he could to teach himself how to do it. And started a business doing it for a living.

The funniest part?

His dog is even more obsessed with his stuffed sculptures than he is.

Every time he creates a new sculpture, his dog gets SO excited, it keeps barking and dancing around the sculpture, and even…

… jumps on the sculptures to play with them!

I guess dogs aren’t scared of stuffed tigers or lions…

But:

If you’re looking for something new to get excited about, this is one of my oldest works in the store, but looks like… it’s making a new comeback, as… it’s currently one my hottest artworks right now:

I can see why though…

Can you believe I drew it by hand? I really did though…

Succulent Wreath SVG + PNG Sublimation Clipart Graphic

Just this morning, I was on YouTube, watching a video about the funniest names people give their pets.

For example:

This guy was talking about how his friend had a dog named, “Naked”. So every time he called him, they’d have some super weird conversations.

Like:

“What’re you up to, buddy?”

“I’m out walking Naked right now.”

“Huh? Don’t the neighbors complain?”

“Yeah. They tell me to get off their lawn!”

LOL.

Anyways:

In the comments section, there was this lady who grew up outside Bozeman Montana years back, and one day there was this guy in the streets calling out “Chaos, Chaos!”. But when 911 arrived, turned out it was his dog’s name, and he was just trying to get him to come back…

My…

… goodness…

I can just imagine how difficult your life would be if you had a dog named:

“Fire”.

Or maybe even “Thief”.

Or perhaps… “Murder”!

Fortunately, I’m sensible-enough-of-a-bunny to not name my dog anything weirder than…

… “Mango“.

LOL.

But, speaking of fires:

From time to time, I get people asking me about what’s HOT in my store.

And if that’s you, and you wanna know what’s on “fire” right now, and trending upwards, so you can create gifts and products that people are chaotically breaking down doors to buy, then you might want to take a look at my Succulent Wreath after you’re done walking your dog.

It’s definitely catching on fire right now:

Tiny Tea House’s Variety Trick Gets Customers Coming Back For Seconds

by

Tiny Tea House’s Variety Trick Gets Customers Coming Back For Seconds

My extremely adaptable personality on full display:

A couple days ago, after lunch, I suddenly said to my hubby while we were seated at the dining table, out of the blue, on a whim, without any thought…

“Let’s go travel!”

To which he replied:

“Oh? Yeahhh!!!”

And we packed our bags, and left Noble Bunny Manor for a cross-country, cross-borders trip in the car.

Living with me is always an interesting experience.

You never know what I’ll decide to do next!

Anyways:

On our trip, we got hungry, and we stopped by this little square with lots of beautiful decor and all sorts of amazing shops all over the place. We decided to eat at this lovely little teahouse with the most beautiful decor, and turns out their food was absolutely delicious!

Not to mention, they cater to my vegetarian-bunny tastes…

After eating, we continued going around the square.

Going in and out of shops.

Looking at art. Looking at food. Looking at neat little gadgets.

Before we know it, it got dark.

And I said to hubby:

“Do you want to go back and eat at that tiny little teahouse? Their food and decor is amazing, they have stuff I STILL want to try, and I really don’t want to gamble around and end up eating somewhere that isn’t as incredible…”

So:

We went back and…

… had our second meal there!

And it reminds me of how customers keep coming back again and again to my “tiny little art store” for seconds too.

One of the main reasons (apart from good art, good taste):

They still have lots of stuff that they want to try!

And…

I really think it’s the same for your customers as well.

Variety is the spice of life. And while my overall style and soul remains the same, my technique is constantly changing! So it’s sort of like… you know it’s gonna taste good… but there’s always some surprising new stuff on the menu you still want to try…

Want your customers coming back for seconds?

Add more variety to the mix.

Mix stuff up.

So you’ll always be having interesting new stuff to try out!

The easiest way to do this:

Try some of my different styles out for a change. Like this Heart Wreath that was made with a sketchier style, and harkens back to my more abstract days, if your customers haven’t had a taste of this yet:

They may love it, they may hate it.

But they won’t be bored. That’s for sure…

February Birth Flower SVG + PNG Violet Wreath Clipart

February Birth Flower SVG + PNG Violet Wreath Clipart

My hubby tells the following story of one of the “crimes of his youth”:

When he was just a wee little kid…

… he was sitting in class one day, reading his “Collin’s Kid’s Dictionary” for fun during the break (yeah, he was always a “book bunny”)…

… and he stumbled upon an intriguing fact.

A fact that was mentioned in the side margins of the book:

“Almost all people get the spelling of the month February wrong! They spell it like this – “Febuary” – missing the extra ‘r’.”

An equally intriguing thought came to his mind.

So he went up to a classmate seated near him, and he posed the following challenge:

“If you can spell the month “February” correctly on the first try, I’ll give you a dollar!” he said with a smile, and a wink.

The little girl was stunned. For a moment.

But then she starts smiling, her eyes looked upwards as she tries to recall the correct spelling, and finally she slowly said:

“F-E-B…-…R-…U-ARY-!”

My hubby…

… was stunned!

For just a moment.

But then, he calmed and collected himself, put on a big bunny smile on his face, and said out loud with a laugh:

“Ha ha ha! You got it… WRONG!”

And he walked away, leaving the little girl confused and repeating the spelling in her mind over and over again, trying to figure out what she did wrong.

*sigh*

Not his finest moment.

But he has since repented.

Interesting fact though:

Did you know that The Violet flower is the birth month flower of Febuary? And that our clients and fans born in this hard-to-spell month have been loving our February Birth Month Flower Wreath?

I did my best to capture the symbolic meaning of this beautiful flower in my piece, namely – wisdom, humility, and love – while also including my ever popular “bee trail” design that I personally invented several years back.

So if you know someone born in Feburary, mark my words…

… it’s a lot easier to just give them something made with this than it is to spell the month out in writing:

P.S. We have other birth month flowers in our store, in case you were born in an easier-to-spell month.

10 Ways Using B.I. Instead Of A.I. Makes Your Art Awesomer

by

10 Ways Using B.I. Instead Of A.I. Makes Your Art Awesomer

I’m in my office right now. In Noble Bunny Manor.

Looking at all the masterpieces I have up in the store.

Admiring my handiwork. And gasping all the while.

Am I becoming a narcissist?

*gasp*

Well:

It’s not just my own artwork that I’m admiring. But also the artwork of my incredible clients and fans that they’ve been making using my art.

Like the piece you see above by turnip-lover Joilyn Ryerson.

It’s amazing how she used my Rustic Blush wreath as a base for this personally hand-painted portrait for one of her client’s wedding anniversaries.

Actually, it’s refreshing:

In a world where everyone is using A.I. and “clicking art into creation”, making overly-rendered, obviously too-perfect-to-be-human pixels that I can spot a mile away…

… there are still people like her using B.I. instead!

What’s B.I.?

It stands for… Bunny Intelligence!

And it means stuff that stems from bunny brains like mine.

Which, I think is fur superior to Artificial Intelligence. And it’ll make your artwork and projects fur superior too.

For the following reasons:

1. It’s not artificial. And it doesn’t reek of “superficiality”. It’s made by the blood and sweat of bunnies and women.

2. It’s “un-okay”. Meaning… it’s not perfect in any way! No bunnies are. We’re flawed (but cute) creatures. And people just like that a lot more… than cold, hard machine work.

3. Bunnies love to yell out loud in celebration after completing their art. This infuses their artwork with enthusiasm. And love.

4. People sit up and listen when you tell them your artwork was made by B.I., not A.I. Try it. You’ll be amazed.

5. It’s rare. And that’s what makes it valuable. Like diamonds. How many people do you know that use B.I. in their art? Other than me and my fellow turnip-lovers, it’s rare.

6. It’s elegant. Well, it depends which bunny made the work. I’m elegant. So my art is elegant!

7. It’s a treasure. Because the prices of my art pieces keeps going up over time. Making each piece you own more and more valuable.

8. It comes with entertainment. You can read about the funny stuff that happened while I was creating my art via my daily letters.

9. It’s less traumatizing. You don’t have to relive the trauma of a machine replacing you at work every time you look at a piece of art…

10. It’s bunny-infused with emotions for occasions. Like…

… the Rustic Blush Wreath that Joilyn used above.

It’s just perfect, and has all the “feels” you need for your next wedding anniversary. Add a photo (or painting) of you and your spouse in the center, and it makes a perfect gift (or invitation piece) for your next anniversary.

If you, or someone you know, has an anniversary coming up…

… and you’d like to infuse the occasion with the awesomeness of B.I., you may “buy my blood and sweat” here:

Lions, Lambs & Leprechauns Rave Partying Outside Our Home

by

Lions, Lambs & Leprechauns Rave Partying Outside Our Home

I had a tough time sleeping last night for the most insane reason…

I opened my eyes around 3 a.m.

Flashing lights were coming from the curtains. Filling the whole room. With light blips of brightness. And the lights, some strong some dim, kept coming every 10 to 20 seconds.

It was ethereal.

Like those little mini-fairy-lightshows we sometimes have in Noble Bunny Manor.

But it wasn’t me.

“Are lions, lambs and leprechauns having a rave party out in the woods, while dancing around an open fire?”

Flipping off my blanket, I got out of bed, put on my slippers and walked to the window. Pulling aside the curtains, I stood there waiting for the next flashes, trying to figure out where they came from.

FLASH

It came.

FLASH FLASH FLASH

Another one.

“Looks like it’s… just… LIGHTNING! WOW~”

But I’ve never seen lightning flash this way, every 10 to 20 seconds, for… several hours… without much rain…

“How interesting!”

After admiring nature for a while, I slipped back to bed. But had the hardest time falling asleep. Until I had some niacin (Vitamin B3 for those who don’t know) to calm the nerves, and give myself a hot fuzzy flush, before finally falling asleep.

My eyes are puffy right now.

Not enough… sleep!

Gotta take a nap later on.

But really glad I’m not attending someone’s wedding today or anything. Even gladder it’s not my wedding day. I’d look terrible in the photos.

But we do have several clients with weddings coming up.

And if that’s you, and you’re looking for something ethereal to add to your decor and stationery, something you don’t have to spend all night designing yourself, but is as beautiful as lightning flashes and easy enough to use for drawing “ooohs” and “aahhhs” from your guests (or from the recipient of your hand-crafted gifts)…

… then you might want to open the curtains on our Ethereal Wedding Wreath right here:
