Crayfishing, c. 1895 by Carl Larsson (Swedish, 18531919). Born into poverty, Carl Larsson earned a scholarship at the Stockholm Academy of Fine Arts and supported himself in commercial illustration. His career in fine art, in which his ambitions tended toward the monumental and allegorical, was lackluster, but this changed when he met his future wife, artist Karin Berg÷÷. Under her influence he began to produce light, bright watercolors, modest in scale and subject. Karin's father gave the newlyweds a small cottage in the rural village of Sundborn, and as their family expanded, the Larssons lavished energy on remodeling and decorating their home. Carl delighted in rendering the cottage and its inhabitants in loving, lighthearted watercolors that document the family's idyllic country life. Crayfishing is one in a series of these paintings titled Ett hem (A Home), which was published in book form in 1899.Measures 29" x 20"(WARNING: Choking hazardsmall parts.

Pomegranate

It's easy to fall for sea otters—look at those curious faces and that expertly coiffed fluff. Like us, they cradle young ones on their chests and use tools to whack open their favorite shellfish. But they are born in the water and spend most of their time there. They forage for urchins, crabs, clams, and other undersea creatures, and they wrap their bodies in kelp to anchor themselves while resting. Once nearly extinct because of fur trading—their luxurious fur is made of up to one million hairs per square inch—sea otters can today be found in coastal waters from California to Japan, where their presence has proven vital to a healthy ecosystem. All of Pomegranate's calendars are printed with soy-based inks on FSC certified paper, which means the paper has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and manufactured by an FSC certified printer.
