The first pages of my little book.  I used the verse from The Big Bang Theory (by the Barenaked ladies) to get the book started then  the first page depicts Daisy world from the Gaia theory of James Lovelock.  He describes a kind of planetary feedback mechanism to maintain Earth’s homeostasis.  In one very simple model he talks about black daisies and white daisies bringing this about and this is what I imagined as I read it.  I used acrylic paints, black pen, Prisma pencils with sansador and some sequin waste as a stencil.
