Little Folk
Amanda Blake does little block paintings of imaginary people (and real people if you ask her to).
Great colours and patterns and personality. I love them!
More paintings and prints are available in her online shop

The Paper Garden
Artist and writer Mary Delany (1700 - 1788) created "Paper Mosaiks" in her later life. There is an astounding collection of nearly 1000 flower Mosaiks in the British Museum; collages of coloured papers, with watercolour,
on black ink backgrounds. All exceptionally detailed and botanically accurate!
