Beetle in Hands Card

The beetle was presented with extraordinary care, which immediately suggested it was either deeply important or deeply cursed.

No one clarified which.

It rests quietly between lace-covered hands while the surrounding garden looks on with the sort of solemn respect usually reserved for tiny kings, ancient relics, or particularly dramatic family heirlooms.

Soft sepia tones and antique photographic texture give the image the feeling of a preserved Victorian curiosity suspended somewhere between natural history and quiet ritual.

Blank inside. The beetle prefers discretion. 🪲🖤

About the Creative Process

AI is one of several tools I use in my creative process, alongside Photoshop and other digital editing software. Each design goes through extensive editing, refinement, and customization before becoming a finished product. It's a hands-on, time-consuming process rather than simply generating an image. All paper goods are printed, finished, and packaged by hand in my studio.
