Description

The Night Queen and the Deer is a secondhand book that I’ve altered by adding illustrated pages and cutting away paper to create layers. The central spread features a Queen of the Night in a long black dress from which cascade stars and deer.

There are five illustrated pages either side of the central spread featuring deer, stars, the constellations, a fawn and a stag cradling the crescent moon within his antlers.

The book measures 16cm x 24cm (6.2 inches x 9.4 inches) when closed and 33cm x 24cm (13 inches x 9.4 inches) when open.

The book will come wrapped in bubblewrap and brown paper and include a Night Queen greetings card.

This book is very special to me, it was magical to create it!
