WINTER WOODS limited edition handmade print

Description: "Winter Woods" is an original handmade block print of a forest blanketed in snow with footprints leading into the woods. Who was here before? Were they human or another animal? Were they walking deeper into the woods or coming out? Where were they headed and why? Even if you’re not a highly skilled tracker, you can come up with a good story. 

Great Gift: This print is perfect for anyone who loves nature, winter, or mysteries.

Printmaking Process: I hand-printed each print on white handmade paper (archival and acid-free) with lightfast ink. The paper has subtle lines (a distinguishing feature of this particular handmade paper) that accentuate the verticality of the trees. For each of the three colors, I carved a different linoleum block by hand and then printed each block in their respective color on each paper. This method is called multi-block printmaking because you use multiple blocks to make one image. Because this is a limited edition of 25, I will never print these blocks in the same colors. Print sold alone (without mat or frame.)

Due to the handmade nature of printmaking, there may be slight variations between individual prints, making each one a unique piece of art. In this print, sometimes I allowed coverage of an ink color to be less opaque because I liked the texture it brought to the print, especially in the footprints.

Archival Mounting Option: This print can be bought on its own or mounted between a mat and foam board, ready to be inserted in a 11x14 in. or 12x16 in. frame. All mounting materials are acid-free and archival.
