The patience you have to do all that detailed work!
All the flowers look stunning! I absolutely love this! In a way, the style of it gives me a bit of an Eastern European vibe, like the kind of stuff in the margins of so many old books in my family's collection. Like a woodblock kind of look, y'know?

Yeah this is one people asked if I did prints or not, as in if it was going to be a block print or if it was already? I was reaaaaaaallly disappointed with this one. It was one I almost linked instead of the featured piece. I showed it twice in a row and gave up on selling it so its in the rabbit bathroom. I also have that rabbit scent piece up in there that was your half of a trade or gift? Long time ago that one.

I also have in the list of more arms, illuminated art dreams. I would love to do something with the flowers and detail with a book sometime. Or like Quaker marriage contracts. The only bummer about this one and one other is I did them on canson student bristol paper as actually self therapy so its not overly archival. I took some inks that didn't sell for a few years, and just colored them in...and they sold at fc. I almost thought about doing that with this, but not with that paper. I wanted the outside of the rabbit to be leaves too, but I finished this one, the year before this one's con the night before I left. I cut it too close both years.

It definitely has a very classic look to it that you normally get with woodblocks (and similar to some of the woodcarvings my great grandfather did)

Something like this would be perfect in a book- or on fabric!
