This piece, approximately 5 1/2" tall and inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, has irridescent leaves and grapes, with the tendrils of the actual vine engraved into the piece.  I have tried to give the feeling of an old piece of ephemera, with the brownish-grey background blending roughly with the grapevine.
