Roots and Wings - Print

November 26th, 2008

I have blended two of my favorite original drawings, added a mosaic effect by hand to each. I then set them up so they compliment and strengthened each other. Two precious gifts we can give to our children: roots first, then wings.

The rounded windows have hidden symbols for these themes as do the spaces between the two mosaics. I wanted to have an updated yet medieval feel to the entire piece. There is tons of color and details.

This makes a great anniversary, baby gift or house warming gift.

Size: 8 x 10 over 8.5 x 11, printed on cardstock.  It fits perfectly a 8 x 10 mat or frame. It also fits in a document frame.

Personalize It: I can add an anniversary date and family name in the middle as shown.
