poppy print

 Color is only just beginning to peek out in my yard, but I know where we're headed. First we'll be visited by golden forsythia, coral tulips, and then lavender lilacs... in that order. And then, my favorites: crimson poppies! They only last for brief moment... and so I decided that I needed away to capture them for a little longer.

 This morning I carved two poppies. They are very simple, but with a little detailing from a micron pen- they came to life.

Yes, that's my poppy plant this card is nestled onto. I'm a bit impatient for the real ones filling up vases, so I forsee these prints blooming onto myriad of things while I wait. Pillows are first on the list.
