This robin was met in the gardens of Cothele Manor, Cornwall.
Lamb's Ear, from my mother's garden.
Perhaps a depiction of Cernunnos. A horned figure holds the tails of two dogs or wolves. Carved on the market cross in Kells, Ireland. I drew this (after a drawing by R. W. Feachem) for an article on the Wild Hunt.

Old trees have old souls, I find.
A sketch I made of a little bat for a story I wrote. Sometimes I need to see the thing before I can write about it. Or, sometimes, I'll get stuck while writing and sketching helps me find "the line" again.

When Met In The Woods, Old Women with Tails and Hooves Should Always be Trusted.
A case of curious things. This is from a small display of my work exhibited at the Imagining The Fantastic Conference in April 2011. The upright carving depicts Winter in all his skeletal glory. On the other side is a portrait of a youth that outwits him. Inspired by an ancient Northern tale. Made from Elk antler I found long ago in the redwood forests of the west coast. The rune tine is also made from elk. It is a copy of an early inscribed artifact that might have been used as a hunting charm, or some kind of transformational magic. [Photo by Rosemary Van Deuren]

No . Really. The meeting was very interesting. See? I took notes.
