For the last couple of years I have been drawing this little man when I give a gift or a love note, and I wanted him to convey my message without too many words. This final version might seem so easy and simple, and yet, it took a 100 more drawings before Amy and I were happy with it.

The label is ready to go. Originally I had included a message of “Enjoy a five-minute tea ritual” on the right panel, but as Amy suggested, we don’t need to print anything but rather handwrite a few words.

Often, if not most of the time, no words or thoughts are necessary at all.

This has been a beautiful trip. Thank you, fruit.
