Description
This is a snippet from an original collagraph print. Snippets are sections cut from collagraph prints that contain faults. The pieces saved are the parts that were a success & make sweet little cameos that deserve to find a new home. No two snippets are the same! This one features a grazing cow by the side of a river on the Norfolk Broads. The size is approximately 16 x 25cm. What is a collagraph? A collagraph takes its name from the word 'collage' as it is essentially a collage made on a rigid surface such as thick card which is then varnished, inked up & rolled through a print press against dampened paper. The edges & surfaces of the collage form the lines & textures of the print, which is transferred onto the paper on its way through the press. Extra colour can be added to the printmaking process by way of an additional technique called 'Chine-Collé' which involves the lamination of extra papers to the print as it goes through the press. I use my own pattern designs in the Chine-Collé process. Grazing Cow Norfolk Broads Snippet Original Collagraph Print Offcut Wetland River Scene Mother's Day Birthday Gift For Her
