Delicate milkweed stems crowned with pale yellow flower clusters rise against a soft cream background, their narrow green leaves rendered with botanical precision. A monarch butterfly with rust and black patterned wings perches among the blooms, capturing a moment of natural pollination in muted, naturalistic tones. 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.
