In a quartz movement, a sliver of crystal is made to vibrate 32,768 times every second. The number is chosen, not arbitrary. It is two to the fifteenth power, so a small circuit can halve it fifteen times over and land on exactly one...

The composition that never failsWolf and full moon. It is on more bags, posters and tattoos than any other wolf design, and it has been for a century. This one takes the quiet version of it: the wolf lies along a rock at the...

Wisdom rather than ferocityMost wolf imagery reaches for menace. This one does not, and it is drawing on the older tradition.Across a great many cultures the wolf is a teacher before it is a threat. Native American traditions repeatedly cast it as a guide...

Red linework on a black field Tribal flames curl round this crest in red, doubling back on themselves at the shoulders and again at the base, with finer silver white lines threaded inside them. The red is laid close enough to read as solid...

Lone Wolf, No Club Two banners and a wolf. The upper arc carries the words Lone Wolf in white capitals, and the lower curve answers with No Club in the same hand, both set on black and edged in red. The letters are packed...

Watercolour has no white paint in the classic sense. The palest parts of a painting are just the paper left bare, which is why this wolf belongs on a white shirt: the untouched ground of the tee does the work the paper used to...

Small enough for a wrist4.3 x 9 cm is genuinely small, and that opens up placements most designs cannot use.An inner wrist, the inside of an ankle, behind an ear, the back of the neck, a collarbone. These are the spots people most often...

Taller than it is wideAlmost every body placement people think of first is upright, and this design agrees with them. That is the main thing to plan around.An upright design needs an upright surface: the outside of a forearm, a calf, an outer thigh,...

Which way up the triangle sitsIt is the most loaded simple shape there is, and the meaning flips entirely with its orientation.Point upward and a triangle is the most stable form available: a wide base, everything resting downward, nothing about to move. It reads...

Predator and prey, accuratelyThe wolf takes almost the whole sheet: a head facing straight out, pale blue eyes, the face filled with ornamental scrollwork in violet, teal and soft gold, painted loosely so the colour runs at the edges. Below the muzzle it darkens...

Engraving style is tone faked with linesThe look here comes from old printed illustration, and it exists because early printing could not do grey.A press puts down ink or it does not. There is no halfway. So engravers built the illusion of shading out...

Not a subtle ringThis is the most theatrical piece we carry, and it is worth being straight about that. The head is sculpted in the round across the whole top of the ring, jaws open on two rows of teeth, with the fur cut...

A full round moon fills each of the two cavities in this mould, joined side by side where they touch, and inside each one a wolf sits with its head tipped back and its muzzle open in a howl. The pair mirror one another,...

Bold, because small panels need itA design on a bag this size has very little room to work with, and that decides the style.High contrast and heavy shapes stay readable at 17 x 23 cm. Delicate shading and fine linework do not: they close...

Flat colour, which is the right choice hereA flag is stripes and stars: broad areas of solid colour with hard edges and no shading at all. That is exactly what survives being printed small on fabric.Photographic designs lose their fine detail at this scale,...
