The Marushka fan can also outfit their kitchen with Marushka tea towels:

A towel with three geese:

A towel with three shells:

A weird one - pipes and bow ties. Definitely atypical for Marushka.

Marushka potholders

2009-10-27T08:25:00.000-07:00

Also for the kitchen, Marusha hot pads:

A happy farm print:

puffins fill in for the penguins

2009-08-14T08:40:00.000-07:00

I'll have to dig through my archives to see if I can find another penguin, but this might be the best I have to round out penguin Marushka week - a passel of puffins.

the penguins kick it up, Marushka style

Another penguin chorus line, with a polka dot bottom border, from the collection of samzruddled on Flickr.

From a recent ebay auction (ended at $13 or so), a posse of penguins (unframed):

And from the same seller (closing at $9), the penguins go for a swim:

Day two of Marushka penguin week stars these five:

Three penguins star in a Marushka

2009-08-10T22:18:00.000-07:00

So I'm not sure if I'll run out of pictures before the week is up, but I'm thinking this week's theme will be penguins.

Penguins are an odd fit with Marushka's usual nature silhouettes of shells and sailboats, but certainly a recurrent theme.

To start the week, a penguin print in brown from the collection of Warhof on Flickr.

Marushka in the sun

2009-08-07T08:38:00.000-07:00

Silkscreens from Dinah Coops

2009-08-03T22:36:00.000-07:00

Another post on Marushka-like screenprints...

Check out this print by Dinah Coops, a sea fan napkin print. The image is silkscreened on linen.

And a mate from Marushka!

Dinah's collection has a number of other neat silkscreens as well, most with a more modern style. Here's another, a wallhanging:

Here's a great summery Marushka:

Big Squeeze Press

2009-08-02T21:03:00.000-07:00

Here's an Etsy find that caught my eye - the silkscreen prints of Big Squeeze Press.

The medium is much like Marushka, but the style seems like a modern take on the Marushka nature themes, perhaps Marushka visits Anthropologie. Very neat!

Marushka-like canvases at Target

2009-08-02T20:53:00.000-07:00

While at Target, I've noticed they've been offering different versions of botanical prints on stretched canvases - very Marushka like.

You can pick up this set of silk canvases for just under $70 here.
