These are so amazing ;; <3

I really wish I could get one but I'm not sure I could trust my mail man not to fold it in to the mailbox...

How much would a smaller one run ??

*giggles* Don't worry, Hush, Xenotropos packs them in such a way your mailman would need to be a titan to fold them :)

TAPE AND CARDBOARD IS MY LIFE!!!

Haha XD you should see some of the things that have been shoved in my mailbox, we are like in the last ten houses of his day so his give-a-damn is gone by the time he gets to us. And all the post office has to say is "get a p.o.box or bigger mailbox." fuuuuu

Thankies
Lemmie note ya some details.

*nuzzles* Hun, I am now really curious as to the process. Layers? Do you paint stuff, then lacquer, then paint over, or what?
(I don't know much about traditional...)

I start with a basic ink on bristol, then colour (ink, markers, acrylic wash, coloured pencil, white ink, gel pen -- whatever I need to do to get the job done that's waterproof). Then several layers of white glue/non-yellowing varnish in various combinations. Then the pieces are assembled with rolled paper things glued under them I call "bumpers" to make them stand out/up, placed so they won't show when the thing is on the wall. Then finally I thread 'em with a bit of ribbon for hanging.

The finished pieces are quite sturdy. I usually shake 'em vigorously to make sure they won't fall apart

It's really good ol' 1980's papercraft technology. I'm sure others have done this sort of thing before. It's fiddly to work with but I like the result.

This is simply a wonderful illustration! Beautiful, beautiful work.
There needs to be more Witch of the Westmoreland art!

Indeedy there does!

Absolutely stunning! :)

Thankies
The guy who received it seemed to like it, which was the most important thing for me.

I love that song!

So do I!
However after one binge listening session I had "Tiny Fish For Japan" stuck in my head for 48 hours, so moderation is key.
