This is beautiful! I love the style you used--kind of like a combination of the best of block printing and mosaic. Mind if I ask what medium(s)/techniques/tools you used for this?
Found you via AEDM; just created an account here.
Thanks and best wishes!

Thank you! It's in acrylic inks, using a brush for the outlines rather than a pen, which is what I usually use. I'm trying to learn how to make decent flowing lines with a brush. The original is really very small, like 1 1/2 inches by 1 7/8, and for some reason the paper (Stonehenge) takes the ink with a bit of blotchiness. The texture isn't as noticeable on the original because it's so tiny.

Much appreciated!
That's very interesting about the mottled effect coming from how the paper takes the ink. I currently work mostly electronically, so I wouldn't have guessed that. Cool to know the scale--I use the 2" x 2" format a lot.
