Jungle fills this page from edge to edge and the sloth hangs in the one clear gap at the middle of it. Around the animal are huge split leaves of the kind found on a monstera, each one cut with long oval windows that arrive filled in solid black. Those windows are the single strongest design feature on the sheet and they give the whole composition its rhythm, so work with them rather than against them by keeping the leaf blades themselves pale. Thin vines trail down both sides in loops, and a spray of small orchid flowers climbs the right hand edge with buds and open blooms alternating along the stem. The sloth itself hangs by two long arms from a short branch, its body drawn in fine fur strokes, with a calm smiling face and a pair of shaded eye patches. Its back feet dangle at the bottom. This is the most detailed of the hanging sloth sheets and suits an older child or an adult who wants an hour of quiet work.
