Nutcrackers in red and gold uniforms alternate with pirouetting ballerinas in crimson dresses across a cream ground, punctuated by dark green Christmas trees and delicate golden snowflakes in a repeating grid. The palette of deep forest green, warm red, and metallic gold creates a festive midcentury rhythm with crisp, graphic forms rendered in a playful, illustrative style. 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.
