Go mini

A calendar from NVillustration, a platform that makes three-dimensional miniature paper art of all things nature, must be as ‘mini’ as their creations. There are two sets to choose from — the pollinator series and the Christmas collection. The eight x 12.5-inch cards comprise 13 artworks with different bird, animal and insect species from across the world.
