"Leaf Blocks Pink" is a print I designed for use on stationery, but I felt it deserved a place on the wall too. The idea for this piece was to mix some of my leaf drawings with bold blocks of colour.

I also offer this print in a blue and green colour way; https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/214553733/leaf-blocks-green-giclee-print?ref=shop_home_active_2 The image is printed on beautiful…

An intricately illustrated 160 plus year old botanical print in black and white showing plant cells. Perfect for framing or perhaps a science lesson! From a European book published in 1848.

The pictures you see are my digital photos of the real book page taken in natural light. This page is not a copy or a scan. You will be receiving the original. I…
