A symmetrical repeating pattern of delicate blue line drawings alternates between nutcracker soldiers in military dress and graceful botanical sprigs, arranged within an interlocking lattice framework. The composition sits on a soft cream ground with warm taupe accents, creating a refined, nostalgic composition with the refined elegance of classical textile artwork. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
