A whimsical black stocking overflows with Christmas treasures, stacked high with wrapped gifts, evergreen branches, and a watering can spilling from its cuff. Warm earth tones and deep forest green create a cozy, folk-art composition rendered in soft, hand-painted illustration style against a cream background. 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.
