Description: A fox curled up asleep, drawn as a real knitting chart: one V is one knit stitch, 42 stitches by 49 rows in four yarn colors, so you could knit it into a sweater. The tail wraps around with its white tip under the nose, and peerie borders frame the swatch. Made for knitters, fox people and anyone who likes winter best when it is warm inside.

Description: A three-masted clipper with every sail set, drawn like a 19th century line engraving: five square sails on each mast, three jibs on the bowsprit, a spanker aft and the standing rigging. The shading on the sails is done with lines that crowd toward the leeward edge, the way an engraver shows a sail filled with wind. Waves in blue. Printing on a dark garment?

Description: Three pisanki, three dye baths and three patterns: a cobalt egg with an eight-petal rosette and wolf's teeth, a green one split into four fields with rosettes and spirals, and an orange one banded with combs, a wave and teeth. The lines are what the wax kept white. None of the eggs overlap, so every pattern is whole. My sibling design shows one big red pisanka with two small ones. Printing on a dark garment?

Description: Pisanki are made with wax: you draw on a white shell, dip it in yellow, draw again, dip it in red, then melt the wax away. That is why the lines are white and yellow on red. The big egg carries an eight-petal rosette, a band of wolf's teeth and a fir branch; the two small ones have a comb pattern and a wave. My sibling design shows three colorful pisanki in a pyramid.

Description: I drew this plate the way Polish stoneware is made: stamp by stamp. A ring of peacock-feather spots, a cobalt rim with dotted borders and a stamped flower in the middle. It is my own pattern in that tradition, not a copy of any workshop's design. For Polish pottery collectors and everyone whose grandma kept a cupboard full of it. No text, so it reads on everything from a tee to a small sticker. Printing on a dark garment?

Description: Before app stores, software was sold on Sunday mornings at computer markets: long tables, plastic boxes full of floppy disks and a sheet of card above the seller with the new titles written in marker. This one is drawn like an old poster, with a red sun, a stack of floppies and a big SUNDAY 9 AM sign. No brands and no game names. For anyone who still remembers queueing for new disks.
Description: A 3.5 inch floppy disk drawn like a classic tattoo flash sheet: bold black outline, red, gold and bone, a banner that says SAVE OFTEN and a burst of rays behind it.

Description: Every computer from the early nineties had one: the turbo button, next to a little red display that read 66. The joke is true. Switching turbo off slowed the machine down so old games would not run too fast, so the button that sounded like more speed mostly existed to make the computer slower. Drawn as a front panel with drive bays and vents, no brand and no logo. For computer nerds, sysadmins and anyone who pressed it just to watch the number change. Printing on a dark garment?

Description: A real reindeer, not a cartoon one, drawn like an old engraving: big branching antlers with the flat shovel over the face, a shaggy mane under the throat, hatched flanks and wide hooves standing in a band of pale blue snow.

Description: A pajak, the Polish straw chandelier hung under the ceiling for Christmas. The big octahedron is built from straws with tissue paper rosettes at every corner, a smaller one floats inside on a thread, and four little pajaki hang below, each with its own tassel, around a beaded tassel in the middle. The geometry is calculated, not guessed. Gold straw and red paper, for Polish American homes and anyone who loves folk design. Printing on a dark garment?

Description: A tom turkey in full strut, drawn like an old natural history engraving. Every tail feather has its own barring, a dark band and a pale tip, the breast is covered in rows of feather scales, the wings hang down to the ground and the only color is the red of the wattle and snood. No words, only the bird. Made for Thanksgiving tables, farmhouse kitchens and everyone who likes their holidays a little old fashioned. Printing on a dark garment?

Description: A pumpkin drawn like a plate from an old vegetable atlas: the whole fruit seen slightly from above, its ribs running into the stem, a leaf, a curling tendril, the bell flower and a cross section with seeds. No labels, only the drawing. It belongs to Halloween, but just as much to Thanksgiving and every fall table. Orange and green on cream lines for dark shirts, on graphite lines for light ones.

Description: A little turquoise owl in a pink witch hat with a yellow star, sitting on a branch in front of a big yellow moon. Huge round eyes, rosy cheeks and soft feathers, with nothing scary at all. Bright happy colors made for kids, toddlers and owl lovers who like their Halloween sweet.
Description: A pixel night in a little window: a bat with yellow eyes flies across the sky, a smaller one follows, the moon has its craters and a jack o lantern glows on the hill. Every pixel was placed by hand on a grid, with no characters from any game. Made for teens, video game fans and anyone who grew up on pixels.
Description: A friendly little bat flying with its wings wide open and a smiling jack o lantern in its feet, under a sky of stars. Big eyes, rosy cheeks, a fluffy tummy and no scary teeth anywhere. Purple, orange and green, drawn with round soft shapes that read well from across the playground. For kids, toddlers and anyone who thinks bats are cute.
Description: Thirty-one costumes submitted, four approved, six pages of policy explaining the difference - and a party that runs forty-five minutes. The budget line is the one in orange: zero dollars approved, which is also the amount spent on the memo. Nobody has to dress up. Everybody has to be there. Wear it to the office party and let the panel do the talking. From the same series as the requisition that never closes and the review cycle that changes nothing. This one prints in the color for dark garments. The version for light garments is here: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/99252258-costume-optional-attendance-mandatory-light-shirts

Description: The office gift exchange, written up the way the office writes up everything else. Twenty-four participants, a twenty dollar cap, three people who asked to draw again - and one line in orange that explains the whole thing: conversations had with the person whose name came out, zero. Two days left to shop for a stranger you sit forty feet from. Wear it to the party; whoever drew your name will understand. From the same series as the requisition that never closes and the review cycle that changes nothing. This one prints in the color for dark garments.

Description: Every December Krakow builds its szopki: nativity scenes shaped like the city itself, with towers, golden domes and a star over the manger, cut and glued from foil and cardboard.

Description: In many Polish homes the Christmas Eve carp spent a few days in the bathtub, and everyone else showered at Babcia's. A clawfoot tub, a very calm carp and a tag that says 12/24.
