A prospective turnip-lover asks the following question:
…
“Hello im wondering if you have an idea on how your Lilly of the valley book drawing would look engraved”
…
My reply?
I have no idea.
I don’t think anyone does.
Because how it looks like when it’s done engraved depends on a 101 factors. Like how you engrave it. And what you engrave it with. And who bothers you when you’re engraving it. And whether you’re hit by acts of God while you’re engraving it (e.g. lightning!).
And so on, and so forth.
But I thought it’d be fun to share 55 ways turnip-lovers are engraving my artwork onto their projects.
Just to give some inspiration for stuff you can do this month.

But I just realized it’s May right now! How time flies when I’m looking down at the drawing board…
And if you’re looking for something for someone born in May (maybe you), or just someone who loves Lily of the Valleys, then this is probably something you’ll want to engrave with love and in fair weather:
