A limited edition of this print was entered in the 2025 print exchange organized by Australian printmaker Sally Caston, the theme of which was "Sweet As" (Australian slang for "awesome" or "good"). These artist proofs have small flaws and variations, but are otherwise true to the original print.

Printed as a "reduction" lino print, where the lino block is carved, a light colour printed, more is carved away, and a darker colour printed, and so on. This print required 9 layers of mostly-transparent inks; it depicts the artist's grandmother's pink glass vase, and heirloom she cherishes.
