Spring Flower Print For Sale!


My limited edition print, 'Spring Flower' is now for sale on my Etsy Store here. This single print evolved from a series of ink drawings that I made of fresh flowers. I had gone on a walk that morning and picked some beautiful wild spring flowers from our neighborhood and took them home to draw. I made about 5 observation drawings in about half an hour as my daughter was napping and I had a very small window of time! I love that the quick, gestural qualities of the ink drawing have remained in the lino cut. I think ink drawings translate really beautifully into a lino print; with each medium offering different and unique properties.

This is a limited edition of 11 prints in dark grey ink. Each print has the edition number (ie 1/11), the title and my signature.

Paper size is approximately 25 x 70cm (very long and skinny!), and the printed image is approximately 17.5 x 45cm.

Today

I did another couple of hours of cutting today and managed to make a few test prints of my latest project tonight. I'm not sure what I'll do next to this print, but definitely a multi block print of some kind! 






Tonight's printing....



I've been doing some printing tonight....the first layer of a multi block print, and I am experimenting with blending colours!

My first customer sent me this photo of them unwrapping their print!
