February Portal by Angela Smith, Nodding Violet Studios - A black and white ink drawing.

January Portal by Angela Smith, Nodding Violet Studios - A black and white ink drawing. A circular portal frames a winter scene. A lantern hangs from a leafless tree, casting sharp rays of enchanted light on a snow-blanketed land.

December Portal by Angela Smith, Nodding Violet Studios - A black and white ink drawing. Birch branches wreath a circular portal through which is seen a stack of winter-themed books and reading glasses, a plate of cookies, and a starry mug of hot chocolate piled high with whipped cream and a cherry before a wintry night sky.

Harvest Cauldron by Angela Smith, Nodding Violet Studios - A black and white ink drawing.

A squirrel peeks around one foot with scattered acorns.
Hallowe'en Cauldron by Angela Smith, Nodding Violet Studios - A black and white ink drawing. A cast iron clawfoot cauldron overflows with elements of All Hallow's Eve: a snake nestles alongside a wide-smiled vining jack-o-lantern and reaching black branch, with a full moon rising behind. At the cauldron's feet, sprigs of yarrow grow, and a jawless skull waits patiently.
Grimoire by Angela Smith, Nodding Violet Studios - A black and white ink drawing. A jawless skull and melting lit candle sit atop a slim herbiary and a thick bound grimoire. Ivy drapes over all.
