Description
Flower life, peace & happiness all round, forever! This is a drypoint etching, drypoint means that I draw on a copperplate with a very sharp stylus, in this case a diamond tipped one, to make marks that will hold ink. Drypoints by their very nature are fragile as what makes the line is a raised burr, that with pressure goes down quite quickly , making editions short. I colour the drypoint a la poupee, a technique where all colours are applied to the copper plate before printing, for each & every print, the ink has to be applied again, & this can means that variations do occur, something I hope you will treasure as the nature of handmade prints. "Flower life" measures 38 cm 40 cm (15" x 16") with the copperplate imprint measuring 28 cm x 28 cm (11" x 11") each print comes signed, titled & numbered in a short edition of only 25 prints, please note you might not receive the number in the photo. I ship from my studio in Denmark with many years experience in packing my art so it arrives safely, see my reviews that I do a good job. Thanks for looking & you are so welcome with questions, Mariann Etching, Flower Life, Handprinted, Signed, Mariann Johansen-Ellis, Girl, Bird, Flowers
