I’m opening my diary for Christmas commissions in case anyone is interested? Something special for someone special? A piece of original art just for you. This one, now sold is of a wrench gazing at some cherry blossoms against a 23 carat gold leaf background on acid free linen bound board.

Also tentatively looking at leaf mines (you lot are a bad influence 😆) think this is Phyllonorycter tristrigella on Elm #TeamMoth
