Refine,
don't redo.

She was already attached to her sprig. The work wasn't a new identity — it was making the one she loved production-grade: cleaner geometry, one honest botanical, a mark that holds at any size.

Two colors
do the work.

Cedar Purple and Thyme Cream carry every surface; Ink steadies the body. The third color only whispers — lavender and plum are accents, defended before use.
