A Russian - born artist uses a centuries - old art form for her delightfully intricate book illustrations . Brodskaya learned the technique from an old Russian master . Gluing the edges of thin strips of paper to a page , she wrote her name in big red block letters , filling each with lively strands of white that curled around each other like smoke , or tiny , tangled tree roots . While her clients include Target and HermÃ¨s she hopes to create more personal work in the future .
