A5 linocut print acorn Sherwood Forest handmade limited edition 1-10/50
Inspired by living in the midst of Sherwood Forest, a mixed edition of 50 A5 lino prints featuring a stylised acorn.
This is a mixed edition because I chose to print on three different papers and use two different colours of ink - green and caramel.
Paper types - choose from:
Lokta paper which is a handmade, soft Nepalese paper with organic inclusions. It’s made from the inner bark of the Lokta tree in the Himalayas and is naturally acid free.
White cotton rag. A handmade paper where cotton fibres are soaked and laid over a mesh and pressed. Deckle edged. Acid free.
Green cotton rag. Similar to the white cotton rag but using green dyed fibes for a soft sage colour. Acid free.
The design was hand carved into traditional battleship grey lino and then hand printed using Caligo safewash inks to my own mix. To transfer the ink the back of the paper is burnished with a wooden baren (a little like a darning mushroom). The print is then stamped with my maker’s mark and editioned with title and number.
Packaged in a film fronted paper bag with cardboard support, with accompanying information. Will be sent in bend-resistant packaging to ensure your print arrives in perfect condition.
There is a companion edition of oak leaves also available.
