Art Nouveau-inspired Floral Print Sets by Elizabeth Ruffing

I’ve taken my Art Nouveau, William Morris-inspired floral prints and combined a few of them in print sets. I’ve added these print sets to our Ruffing’s website pages for each of the individual print images. You can find them by scrolling down on the web pages for any of these individual prints, or you can find them in my Etsy shop. Click on the following highlighted titles, “Lavender-blue Iris on Green” or “Cream and Purple Iris on Green“, to find the above two prints, available separately or as set of two.

Or click on “Yellow and White Iris on Blue” and “Valentine” for the above two iris prints, available separately or as a set of two.

You can find “Tan and Purple Iris on Green” and “Lavender Iris on Green” above as a set of two, or available individually. These are also available with “Innocence“, below, as a set of three prints.

To see more of my floral prints, please click here to visit our Scenes and Florals webpage. I’ve been trying to catch up on all the unfinished webpages for our Ruffing’s website prints, but I’m not sure I am even halfway through yet.

Flying Guardian Angel Teddy Bears art print by Max Bailey

Flying Guardian Angel Teddy Bears art print by Max Bailey

Flying Guardian Angel Teddy Bears art print by artist Max BaileyThese three fuzzy teddy bear angels are flying over houses, making sure everyone inside feels safe and comforted. They will come to hover over your neighborhood too, if you would like. Be sure to watch for them.

Text around image reads: “May a flock of guardian angels soar above you, and watch over you, and keep you safe.”

I am making a limited number of reproductions of this image as a signed giclée print as well on 8 1/2 x 11 inch art paper.

My latest attempt at movie stardom

Here it is…my “Elenora Kitten” video. I think I goofed up the intro about seven times before I got this one. In the first couple of versions I sounded like I was saying, “Thanks for shopping by.” How’s that for subtle advertising? This version is over on my YouTube channel. I enjoy the dismissive gesture I make after I try to explain what a flat and a round are. That makes me laugh.

Elenora is available in print form in my Etsy shop, and on this Ruffing’s site page. So, um, thanks for shopping by 😉

“The Owl and the Pussy-Cat” Print Set

“The Owl and the Pussy-Cat” by Edward Lear is one of my favorite childhood poems. I am printing up a copy of it to include with my owl and pussycat print set. I am using our Ruffing’s stationery, which is decorated with a beautiful white rose by Abby Laurence. It is on heavy acid-free cardstock, and is suitable for framing.

The print set can be found by scrolling down on either the “Henry the Owl” web page, or the “Elenora” web page of our Ruffing’s site. Both are also available in my Etsy shop, either separately, or as a set. The set includes the poem, and is $40 plus shipping. They can also be ordered by emailing me. The frames are not included.

I still have to film an intro for my “Elenora” video and then put it all together. I’ve been waiting for a time when I look well rested!

“The Owl and the Pussy-Cat” by Edward Lear

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat:
They took some honey, and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
“O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!”

Pussy said to the Owl, “You elegant fowl,
How charmingly sweet you sing!
Oh! let us be married; too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?”
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the bong-tree grows;
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood,
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,

“Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?” Said the Piggy, “I will.”
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.
