Four delicately rendered spring ephemerals grace this set; four of the earliest blooms to open as winter recedes and spring begins its descent. Before the pungent apple blossoms and bold tulips and daffodils spring forth, there are tiny, ethereal, fragile blooms that pop out from recently frozen ground.
My mom is an incredible drawer and printmaker (intaglio etchings, primarily), and we've wanted to do a project together for a long time. These cards are the first of what we hope to be many collaborations. The drawings featured on these cards are Bleeding Heart, Dutchman's Britches, Meadow Rue, and Sweet William. Each drawing is by Priscilla Steele (my mom!) and the lettering was hand drawn by yours truly, Maggie Campbell.
