Carpenters

How these were drawn

Ukiyo-e restraint: eye-level views, sparse single-colour grain, one textured plane in an otherwise flat image. On ivory the print needs no white underbase, so this is the finest-detail work in the line. The dovetail is drawn to real 1:8 geometry, because carpenters check.

Buying for yourself

An ivory tee that does not cheapen her own brand, an embroidered crewneck, a tote, and a poster for the shop wall.

Buying it as a gift

Clients give the Dovetail Study poster at the end of a project. It is the piece that works framed in someone else's hallway.
