fairy ring fungi 💖🌟
This is the herbologist reward for April! If you'd like these postcards as well as three pages worth of fairy ring fungi folklore and facts, consider joining my patreon for this month - a handful of slots are free!
It's been a long long time coming, but all four volumes of the herbologist zine are now in stock! Each zine collects together a year of my patreon plant and fungi rewards. In each book you'll find a year of my exploration, illustration, folklore and scientific facts about the wonderful botanical and fungi filled world around us!
Thanks to the wonderful @mushroomyhouse - who helped me turn this print run into a reality! I could not have done it without them!
(Boosts appreciated!) My shop has just updated! I’ve added new prints - and restocked all three herbologist zines, and some favourite washi! So if you’d like some sparkly plant lore, washi or prints headed your way, now’s the time!
The datura and it’s lore -- these are the dark variant and curiosities prints from my March herbologist rewards 🌟🌛 this spiky little plant is one of the original witches weeds, used in poisonings and potions throughout history!
The crocus and it’s lore -- these are the dark variant and curiosities prints from my January herbologist rewards 🌟🌛
Here we go - a quick mini update with some small restocks of the favourites - herbologist zines volumes one to three, and the alpine plants washi!
BTW it’s right near the holiday season so please remember my shop operates out of Australia - and international orders are unlikely to make it in time! But please check out the holiday shipping cut off times all outlined here
And thank you all soooo much for supporting my humble little plantwares. It means the world to me!!!
From concept to reality. I drew this back in February for my herbologist rewards - and I was thinking way back then how lovely it was gonna be in the final zine, as a two page spread. So I did a little mockup back then, and now like months later seeing the final and holding it in my hands, I’m very proud!
(also uhhh. can anyone spot the howl’s moving castle easter egg...)
For the month of October it’s become a little tradition for me to chose a fungi, instead of a plant for my herbologist rewards. I went a little extra and ending up choosing 5 mushrooms from the amanita family!
Announcing November's herbologist reward, the tulip! Packed with history, the tulip has been gracing our gardens (and obsessions) for hundreds of years. This month I took on inspiration from vintage seed packets, and I'm so excited by how they came out! 🌟🌷
If you'd like to join and have these prints and tulip folklore sent your way, my patreon link is below!

night blooming jasmine (nyctanthes arbor-tristis) 🌟🌛
the work is inspired by a folktale about the parijata tree. there was once a princess called Parijat, she fell in love with the sun god Surya. Surya didn't return her love, and in despair Parijat became the night blooming jasmine tree. the flowers bloom in the night, and in the day when the sunlight touches them, they fall to the ground.
