A sinuous green snake with a red belly winds across a pale ground, its body patterned with golden botanical motifs and crowned with a distinctive white-and-gold spiral at its head. Red and gold flowers bloom from the serpent's coils in an ornamental arrangement, creating a composition that merges natural history with decorative folk art sensibility. 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.
