Densely textured pumpkins with intricate lace-like patterns fill the composition in deep charcoal gray against a clean white ground, their stems rendered as delicate curved lines. The stippled and cross-hatched surface of each gourd creates a ornamental, almost textile quality that suggests handwork and craft. 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.
