The paper is made from gampi fibers and is thin and soft, yet very strong with lightly textured fiber inclusions for an expressive surface and character. Made by an eight-generation company in Tokushima, Japan - the business creates sustainable, eco-friendly, acid-free paper that truly stands apart and an ideal backdrop for my work.

Getting outside is good for the soul- it reminds us to slow down, stills our restlessness and turmoil and helps us reconnect with ourselves and appreciate the world around us. My goal is to bring peace and a little bit of whimsy to paper and cheer up someone in a small way. Through my artwork I try to capture some of the beauty of the natural world and share it with you!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alex Quirk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43252802650201,"sku":"124253","price":97.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/8707\/9001\/files\/Alex-Quirk-Bee-Butts-1.jpg?v=1776967856","url":"https:\/\/artforthepeoplegallery.com\/products\/bee-butts-print-by-alex-quirk-original","provider":"Art For The People Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
