Calvin loves his changing table!

Ranunculus!

I took a bunch of ranunculus photos in the hopes of figuring out a good way to draw them to use on Natalie's wedding invitations, which we are currently working on. They've been around for several days now but seems seem to get brighter, softer and more open. These are my favorite flower but very difficult to translate into letterpress-ready art! Lynn at Satsuma Press is going to print them for us and I can't wait to see the finished pieces.
