Morning Glory // black on natural variety

This is an original OPEN EDITION handmade linocut print featuring morning glory flowers.

The design is hand-printed using a carved Japanese rubber block with handmade paper.

The paper size is 5"x7" and ships unframed.


PROCESS

-This print was made with one block, carved and printed with oil-based ink
-The block was hand-carved in Gomuban (Japanese synthetic rubber carving block) from my original artwork
-The prints are hand-burnished with a Japanese baren and wooden spoon
-Entire process done by me in my home studio
-Each print is signed and dated in pencil
-Paper and all inks used are of archival quality to assure the longevity of the art
-Each print arrives unframed, frame not included

Due to the nature of the hand printing process, there are slight variations and imperfections between each print and visible signs of the hand-burnishing technique. This is characteristic of linocut printing and makes each print unique.

OPEN EDITION

This is an open edition design, meaning that the prints are not numbered and there may be more prints created from this block in the future.


MATERIALS

Paper:

Lokta: (60gsm) An acid-free lightweight neutral-warm handmade paper from Nepal. This paper has a rich texture with interesting variations, the perfect companion for a single color print.

Ink:

Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash Relief Ink (Oil-Based)


FRAMING SUGGESTION

This print arrives unframed. I recommend framing in a standard 8"x10" or 11"x14" frame with matting.
