Although it was delivered on Christmas, Imprints/D’eux was commissioned as a wedding gift – and the actual timing was closer to anniversary number one. Traditionally the first year of marriage is celebrated with a gift of paper, so it all worked out well.
D’eux combines the two inch prints common to all of the pieces in the Imprints series, but many of the selections are individualized with the recipient in mind. Elements of astrology, motifs from the Celtic calendar and symbols personalize the artwork. Besides the astrological signs, look for hobo signs, earth signs, Celtic calendar trees and gemstones in this mixed media piece.
