Presented at Spring Crown Tournament, May 6th, A.S. LVII (2022).
This scroll is inspired by late-period trompe l'oeil, an artistic style where objects are painted in almost 3D on the page. I knew the recipient had made glass beads and jewelry, so I took one of her recent works and incorporated it into the scroll.
