Handmade Patchwork New Year Card with Taiga Animals

the aesthetics of handmade and textile collage. The composition is dense and saturated, completely fills the image to the very edges, without empty margins. The main element is a large decorative patchwork frame that dominates the composition and frames a light rectangular text area in the center. The frame is assembled from scraps of fabric and paper with clearly visible seams, embroidery, threads, buttons and patches. Around the frame are taiga animals celebrating the New Year: moose, bears, wolves, hares, foxes and owls, made in the form of soft fabric applications. Additional elements: fir branches, cones, clusters of mountain ash, stars, hearts and embroidered snowflakes. The color palette consists of forest shades of green, deep red, blue, brown and cream, with warm and cozy contrasts. The background is unobtrusive: winter taiga, painted with a simple pencil — fir trees and snow, a light sketch on textured paper. Style — illustration for a children's book, folk art, handmade patchwork with stitches, mixed media, festive New Year card, no photorealism, no 3D, no gloss.
