ReplyDeleteAs a child I was called "treeba" and then later in life, I traveled to china for work and had my fortune told I am "wood" so I guess all signs are pointing to me needing those trees. I love the magical quality of them.

ReplyDeleteHow would you suggest framing them? Black frames, white ones, or maybe a wood tone? Our home leans towards white, which could be a cool contrast!
What a beautiful book... thanks for bringing it to our attention. I'd love to see an installation of six or nine on a tight grid... like classic botanicals but with a folk art twist.
ReplyDeleteGreat images thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI love this! It's going on my birthday 'wanted list'.
ReplyDeleteSo would you actually take the pages out of the book and frame them? Or are there framable versions available somewhere? I love these as an alternative to regular botanicals. I have pale green walls, white moldings, and dark wood floors in the living/dining room; same plus grey stone floor and black granite counter in the kitchen (the rooms all open into each other). I think these would be stunning over the piano or the fireplace.
