SORRY - BLOCK PRINTS UNAVAILABLE FOR THE SUMMER OF 2011
I am rebuilding my studio this summer, so block print production is suspended until September 2011. Sorry for any inconvenience, but lots of new designs will be available in the fall!
Made in my garden studio, these prints on wooden panels feature photographic images taken mostly in that same garden (although I have been known to stray into other peoples' gardens and to follow crows all around the neighbourhood). Each panel is signed in sliver on its side and comes with a brass hanger and title label on the back.
Some of the block print format's amazing qualities are listed below.
- Unique - the panels are hand-coated with a plaster layer to give each its own texture. The images are painstakingly transferred using an old-world method that has the image sink right into the plaster.
- Strong - created with archival inks and finished with several layers of varnish, the panels are easy-care and non-fading.
- Easy - these panels are feather light - easy to mail and a breeze to display.
- Green - the panels are made of hardwood from the Paulownia tree. This amazing tree can grow up to 20 feet in a single season, making it a great renewable resource.
Beautiful - naturally!
