sous chef artblock
The newest Miranda, doing her own menu planning for the upcoming holidays...
Each Miranda artblock starts with an initial layer of a handwritten story (with this piece it tends to be on the joy of making food for the people you love). This layer is sanded lightly before the next paint layers are added. The final layer is the hand-blended shadows of Miranda & the cookbook to ground her in the landscape..
You can see why the Miranda artblocks are some of our favorite pieces...
each artblock ordered plants one tree
