Carol's Book of Watercolor Vegetables (and a Watermelon)! antique cut paper work And beautiful chip carving on

And beautiful chip carving on the interlocking crown of thorns type structural framework

with the tiniest interior egg very tiny indeed

and the nib comes off easily

hips and knees

so one would guess he was an entomologist

Carol's Book of Watercolor Vegetables (and a Watermelon)! antique cut paper work And beautiful chip carving onI purchased a handful of works done (and all signed, some twice!) by the young Carol who made this booklet quite a good many years ago, and I think it's my favorite of the lot for the pumpkin on the cover, yes, but especially for the less showy potato and expressionistic watermelon! 5 3 4" x 4 3 8". Pages are held together with greenish thread pulled through two small holes in the paper and tied in a bow. Cover shows a little staining pencil smudging
