Product Details
Our luxuriously soft blankets are available in two different sizes and feature incredible artwork on the top surface. The bottom surface is white. Our 100% polyester blankets are available in two different styles: plush fleece and sherpa fleece. Plush fleece blankets are soft and fluffy on both sides, whereas sherpa blankets are smooth like a soft sweater on the artwork side (i.e. shorter threads) which provides for a sharper image. Looking for a recommendation? Go with a 60" x 80" plush fleece blanket. It's soft and luxurious on both sides... the artwork looks incredible... and the size is just right for everyone.

Though, I learned later that they really don't use them for much other than wrestling with one another. Still it is a cool looking creepy crawly.
Generally bug art is not too popular, but I find that I rather like it as it gave me a chance to do a close up seen of a tree root within a deep dark forest. So, for this artwork, I focused on the moss that grows on the root, the mushrooms growing in the soil, and the polypores (tree fungus) growing on the bark. So not only does the image feature a beetle, it deals with a lot of forest floor growth and fungi.
My goal with this one was to make it not too realistic. Rather, I wanted it more painting like to emphasize art over actuality. So the stag beetle may not b...
