i’m obsessed with this. what medium was it made in? pen and ink?
stephanie —
she didn’t note, but i think it’s pen and ink, yes! isn’t it amazing?
This reminds me of the colorblind tests.
YES! i do say!
This looks suspiciously (and wonderfully) like the stem of a plant under a microscope:

Those are “monkey faces” to denote a monocot plant (==a six/three leaf-ed plant or flower). Some days, man…science is way cool.
