The Squirrel's Dream Print

An enterprising Abert's tassel-eared squirrel fashions her dream outfit from forest treasures. She uses ruffled wild-geranium leaves and silvery mountain mahogany seeds as fabric, tucks in bunches of lichen, and secures curly ponderosa pine needles with grape vines.

Flames of woodpecker cap feathers decorate her ears, and her pine-needle satchel with an oak-leaf appliqué holds precision tools. Golden jewelry made from the gleaming thighs of June beetles completes the look.

Printed with archival pigment-based inks on museum-grade cotton rag paper.
