A cream and charcoal koala sits in profile against a sage green ground, its large rounded ears and gentle dark nose rendered with soft, textured details. The composition is simple and centered, with the animal's stocky form filled with patterned fabrics in plum and cream that give it sculptural dimension and a handcrafted quality. 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.
