Skoll and Hati run through Norse myth as a pair of wolves in permanent pursuit, one behind the sun and one behind the moon. The old poems treat that chase as the engine of the sky. Time moves because something is running. The face...

Odd numbers look betterThree cushions on a sofa look considered. Four look like a shop display, and two look like a hotel.The reason is that an even number naturally divides into matching pairs, and the eye finds the symmetry and stops. An odd number...

Why gold and silver and nothing elseEvery culture that had access to metals arrived at the same two for ornament. That is not fashion agreeing across the whole world by coincidence.It is chemistry. Almost every metal reacts with air and moisture and destroys itself:...

A whole wolf, drawn in light Standing square to the room, this wolf is engraved whole: the head carried low between high hunched shoulders, ears swept flat back, lips lifted off the teeth, and every claw on the front paws picked out one at...

Interlace is the oldest trick in Celtic ornament: one ribbon crossing over and under itself until the eye gives up looking for the end of it. The wolf on this oval plaque is drawn the same way, its ear, muzzle and ruff built from...

A werewolf caught mid roar Jaws wide and teeth bared, the creature on this shirt fills the whole front and carries on across both sleeves. It is a single face, painted close enough that you can read the amber in the eyes and the...

A sham is not a pillowcaseThe word confuses people, and it is a genuine distinction rather than a marketing one.A pillowcase is functional. You sleep on it, it is usually plain cotton, and it has an open end or a flap so a pillow...

Two animals on one bandA wolf and a dragon share a single round medallion face, the dragon in flight across the top and the wolf standing in profile beneath it, which is a considerably harder thing to execute than a single head. Two creatures...

Bold linework survives being smallThere is a technical reason this style dominates jewellery, and it has nothing to do with fashion.A photorealistic wolf reduced to pendant scale turns to mush: the detail that made it convincing is the first thing lost. A design built...

One front paw is raised in a half wave, held up while the other three limbs hang long and loose. It is the posture of a young wolf still growing into its legs, and it gives this plush its whole character. The colouring follows...

Silver, not platedThis is one of only two rings we carry in genuine silver rather than plated steel, and the difference is visible immediately.Silver is denser than stainless steel, so the ring feels more substantial for the same dimensions. It is also softer, which...

White ink on a black ground White line on solid black behaves differently to black on white. At fine widths the pale marks appear to swell a little against the dark, an effect known as irradiation, so the detail reads as light rather than...

The image everybody picturesA wolf howling against a full moon is the most reproduced wolf composition there is, and a hoodie is the garment with enough surface to carry it properly. On a t-shirt the same design gets cropped; here it has room.The wolf...

Three wolves, not oneMost wolf bags show a single animal. This one shows a chorus, and it changes the character of the print entirely: it reads as a scene rather than a portrait.The subject is accurate too. A chorus is how a family stays...

A face built entirely from line Every mark in this drawing is a line. It is pen work the whole way through, hatching and stippling and repeated pattern laid down until a muzzle, a heavy brow and two dark eyes come up out of...
