"Secret Garden"
 
A4 print, limited edition of 250 signed and numbered copies.  Adapted from the cover art work for "The Hidden Lives of Papillons and Phalenes" (see dedicated section concerning this book). Price is £15.00 plus postage on request, but £10 if ordered with "Hidden Lives" and no extra postage. 

The "Secret Garden" print version of the Cover art work for "Hidden Lives" lacks the eerie light emanating from the slightly open door, which was created for the book on computer, and contains a few additions not present on the cover - and extra butterfly, an extra moth, a padlock, a key and a caterpillar.
 

 There are two text versions of this print. It is the same print but there are two versions of the text. One has a text box beneath the print with green printed text, and a thin green line around the image.  This version has uneven white borders and must be cropped for framing.
 
The second version has a larger image with a thin white border and the text (title, signature, number of print) is embedded in the picture. This version can be put straight into an A4 frame without the need for cropping or a mount. 
 
You have to contact Deirdre personally and tell her which version you would prefer. £10 if ordered with the "Hidden Lives" book (no additional postage) or £15.00 if ordered separately plus £5.00 postage on request.
