A brown hare sits in grass, ears upright, beneath a much larger orange/yellow flower hanging down from a long stem like a lamp. The hare and surroundings appear to be lit by the flower. The sky is shades of deep blue with sweeps of pale cloud.
A woman with long blue hair stands in front of a blue dragon. Both look to the right. A wing wraps around one side, with the head on the other. The woman holds what appear to be strands of blue ribbon in her outstretched hand. The overall design colour is blue.
The head of a barn owl, looking directly at the viewer. The background is deep blue.
Metal tin with a design on the lid: A roughly oval shaped design depicting winter above and below ground, on a white background. At the bottom, a bear, hare, and wolf sleep in separate chambers underground. To the right, tree roots part to reveal a female figure holding a flame in her hand. A similar figure, but pale and sleepy, lies to the left. Above this group stand three bare trees. There's a spiral beneath the centre tree, above the sleeping bear. Deer and a stag stand in the group of trees. The head of an owl protrudes from the centre left of the design, a black cat from the right, and a raven and eagle soar above the trees.
The head and shoulders of a woman (on the left) and a man (right) stand together, facing the viewer. The woman has long, plaited and bound brown hair, three drawn lines from her lip to her neck, and wears a garland on her head. To her side sits a delicate staff with runes hanging from it. The man has just one eye, with a long scar going vertically through where it should be, and is wearing a fur coat. A shaman's rattle, with the appearance of being made from a raven's head and feathers, and with runes hanging from it, sits to his right. In front and below them, a pair of ravens sit on a circle of bound twigs, leaves and flowers, and in the centre a golden circle contains the three Norns (sisters of fate in Norse mythology).
A roughly oval design, topped with a tree in full leaf, surrounded by clouds, but clearing to blue in the centre, and swifts wheeling all around. Beneath, the top half of the oval is a flower-filled meadow. A stag and badger stand either side, and a hare, blackbird, mouse, and other creatures are nestled within. The head and shoulders of a young woman lying on her back rise from the ground. Beneath her, the bottom half of the oval is a mass of twisting roots, branches, leaves, fungi and toadstools. A snake winds its way through the top half with its head appearing at the bottom.
A Yin-Yang shape is surrounded by sprouting branches of native trees. The left hand half of the shape is filled with blue sky, and a large, watery sun forms the traditional 'dot'. White blossom and spring flowers overlay the sky, and a wren sings from a branch at the top. The right hand half features a hare sitting in a grassy field in a sunny day. A pale yellow sun forms the 'dot'. Yellow flowers overlay the scene. A blue tit sits on a branch forming the curve between the two sections, and a bee hovers on the outside.
A red fox sits upright looking directly at the viewer. A much smaller fox sits leaning against the first, head tilted upwards, eyes closed. They're surrounded by stems of white stitchwort and cow parsley flowers set against a teal background.
A woman wearing a patchwork dress and pointed black hat stands in front of a wood-clad house. Cats of many colours sit and lounge all around her, as well as in trees and on the roof. Another lady flies by on a broomstick with a black cat sitting on it. Snow lies on the ground and on the fence beyond.
A young woman in a long flowing yellow dress with a green belt walks through a field of flowers. A golden sun rises behind her, and in the background, to the left and right, young trees are covered in pink blossom.
Three colourful people walk from right to left. At the front, a woman with long blond hair and wearing a long pink dress, is barefoot and beats a hand-held drum. To her left, a grey-haired woman wearing a blue top and skirt, and floral headdress, raises her hands skywards. A bearded man dressed in green and wearing decorated antlers on his head walks behind them. Flowers are scattered in the air around them, and Glastonbury Tor can be seen in the distance.

A red fox sits looking toward the viewer in a snow-covered clearing. They are surrounded by the silhouettes of leafless trees in the foreground, red and gold leafy trees behind, with more trees beyond. They reach up toward a dark, starlit sky. A stag stands in the snow far behind the fox, and a robin perches in one of the trees. In the foreground, a carpet of gold flowers and pale leaves.
A spruce tree, covered in snow and golden balls of light, with a bright star above, stands in a snow-covered forest clearing. More snow is falling, and a deer stands to one side. A deep blue night sky can be seen through the trees.
A group of rowdy animals sitting around a table having a feast. A rat slices a large pork pie, a mouse converses with a badger, another mouse and a hare share a plate of nuts, and yet another sits in the table munching on a slab of cheese. An otter holding a glass of wine converses with a frog forking food into his mouth. An owl stands behind them with an up-stretched wing, and a hare stands at the back with a serving platter. A plate, mounded with green moss and decorated with fruit, sits in the centre of the table.
A badger stands with their paws around the trunk of a tree. Behind him, a full moon rises against a starlit sky. A distant hill, glowing in the moonlight, is engraved with a white horse. Below ground, two badgers sleep surrounded by a golden glow, sparkles from which rise upward. The roots of the tree blend in colour with the faces of two badgers, and a small badger skull lies deep within.
Foxes, hares and weasels stand on snowy ground looking up at a silvery, winter tree. Squirrels run down the trunk and across the branches, and owls sit at either end. The background is deep blue, dotted with multicoloured stars.
A robin with a deep red breast sits singing on the winding stem of a teasel plant. They are surrounded red and grey teasel seed heads. The background is dark grey. The inscription at the bottom reads: I heard a bird sing in the dark of December. A magical thing and sweet to remember we are nearer to Spring than we were in September. I heard a bird sing in the dark of December."
A red fox sits facing the viewer, their head turned sideways to rest on a gravestone. The inscription on the gravestone reads, "What will survive of us is love". The scene is surrounded by white flowers on long slender stems in amongst grasses, seed heads, and low-growing white flowers at the bottom.
Three simple and colourful gnomes standing side by side. Only their round noses are visible as they all have long white beards and hair reaching nearly to their feet, and large hats pulled down over their eyes.

A hare dominates this design as it leaps down a golden path with long golden grasses flowing away and down on either side. The path leads from a thatched cottage at the top of the design. The cottage has an oval wooden door, curved oak frame with a lattice window each side, and two hares, one under each window, leap towards the door. Trees stand each side of the house.
Rectangular metal tin: Four pink and blue / green toadstool houses stand in a row. The roofs and walls of all four are liberally decorated with simple flower designs have curved windows (two stories, plus a window in the roof) and have curved blue front doors. Tiny toadstool-shaped chimney pots protrude from each roof, and red planters surrounded by stones and with leafy plants growing from each sit between each house. The background is a mottled pale blue.
A pentacle symbol overlaid with green leaves, foliage and white flowers which extend outwards towards the edge of the design. A silvery full moon shines behind and within the circle of the pentacle. The background is deep blue.
A brown hare stands on top of a small hill facing the viewer. The sun is rising behind the hare. The colours are mostly yellow, orange and brown.
