Overlapping fish scales in soft pastels cascade downward in a gradient transition from rose pink at the top through lavender and seafoam to turquoise at the base. Each scale is delicately outlined, creating a rhythmic, tessellating pattern that evokes the shimmer of a mermaid's tail with gentle watercolor-like texturing throughout. 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.
