Description
Where better to lose one’s moccasins than under an elusive moccasin flower? Besides the moniker moccasin flower, the members of the Cypripedium genus have also been known as Indian shoe, Venus’s shoe, whippoorwill’s shoe, slipper root, and, most commonly, lady’s slippers. The moccasins themselves are based on a pair from Massachusetts circa the 1800’s, with dark dyed leather, silk ribbon, and floral embroidery—not a pair you’d want to lose, even for the sake of nesting wren.
Dimensions: 11 x 14 inches
Art is unmatted and unframed.
This is original colored pencil art made with Polychromos Colour Pencils by Faber-Castell, an oil-based colored pencil that contains less wax than most colored pencils and therefore suffers from less wax bloom than most (in which the wax rises to the surface, dulling pigments over time). The pigments are acid-free, with the highest lightfast ratings in the industry. The majority of the colors are rated at the highest fade resistance of 100+ years, with a few rated at 25+ years.
