Five plump tardigrades in shades of hot pink, turquoise, and purple scatter across a pale yellow ground, their stubby limbs and cheerful faces rendered in a playful, rounded illustration style. Tiny heart shapes and dots float between them, creating a whimsical composition that transforms these microscopic creatures into charming, almost cuddly companions. In a child's room, a science enthusiast's space, or anywhere playful learning lives. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
