I love to incorporate text into my prints and much like its companion piece, 'Grandpa's Goodnight', it's the message and so the writing that is the star here. I loved carving the large sweeping text and the bold roses too, the addition of which offer a nod to my grandparents' much loved garden. With sketches made and text and images decided upon, I transferred my final design onto lino which I then hand cut and burnished onto a beautiful creamy Japanese Shiramine Select paper. The paper measures approx. 21.5cm x 26.5cm with the printed image itself measuring approx. 15cm x 20cm. Each of these prints (the first printed from a variable edition of 50) comprises a base of pale salmon pink for the blooms, over which is printed the main image in a dark green, with both colours in oil based inks. Each print is numbered, titled, signed and dated. Having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand crafted piece. Your print will be posted to you in a bio-degradable cello with a back board, ready to present as is or to frame with the mount and surround of your choosing. This print would make a thoughtful gift with its ever relevant message of hope, optimism and positivity.
