Item Description

This piece is an 8" x 8" original photograph of a dew-covered purple crocus, printed >on canvas and accented with beaded braille poetry. The lavender-colored seed beads convey an excerpt from a poem by Arthur Symons in uncontracted Braille. The poetry highlights the sun-kissed crocus captured in its gentle and natural setting, and the texture of the beads invokes the gleam of the dew drops clinging to the flowers' petals. The edges of the canvas stretch the colors of the pixels around the sides of the frame. This unique work of art is a conversation-starter and will add a singular and unexpected touch to any room.

The beading in Braille reads:

It was a day of sun and rain
Uncertain as a child's swift moods

Arthur Symons 1895

Please be aware that our Braille Art uses uncontracted Braille and that the beading is done by hand, so it will not be perfectly aligned or of absolutely uniform size, due to the variable nature of the beads and the realities of handcrafting.
