My friend Lucinda came by a couple of weeks ago to hang out at the shop. She's a textile/pattern designer and was finishing a personal project at the time--a hand-painted botanical print in gouache. It' so stunning, I have to share!

The background looks black but it's actually this really deep navy color. I love the delicate shape of this bird...

The details are fantastic, it's hard to believe from these images that this was painted by hand but it's true! I saw it first-hand! Labor of love for sure...Amazing craftsmaship, Lu--can't wait to see what you come up with next :)
