Mayapple Tapestry fairy tales The Magic BookAn illustration of thriving mayapples above a pair of box turtles adorn a lightweight raw silk tapestry.

Box turtles relish the fruit and seeds passing through the gut of the turtle are much more likely to germinate. These textiles are botanically dyed with bioregional plants by White Pine Rising,
