Carl Sandburg quote in blackwork WIP

I'll be adding a lovely iris border at the bottom done in the same green as above and with the irises in deep purple with gold highlights.

 

Check out my blog for some poetry talk (the quote is from Carl Sandburg, by far the best poet ever). In the comments to my blog post I've reproduced two of my favorite Sandburg poems (one of the only writers capable of writing truly realistic and accessible love poetry).
