Dog-Violet 2, Green Monoprint

Dog-Violet 2, in green monoprint allows plenty of space around the printed area. To ensure accuracy, a plate size that matches the plant was used and framed within a larger piece of paper to highlight its features. I composed the two prints together, would look great hanging together. Please purchase separately. 

• Common Dog-Violet, Viola riviniana. 
• A4 original piece, handprinted.
• Fabriano Unica, 250gsm. 50% cotton. Print area is small, 13x6cm plate. 
• Green, soy based ink. 

Common Dog-Violets are purple flowering Violas, with heart shaped leaves and have no scent. It can be spotted in a range habitats from woodlands to hedgerows. Often appearing in April, it’s a later spring flower. 

This monoprinting technique uses plants pressed for weeks to create unique pieces. The plant is inked and pressed onto paper with an etching press for detailed results. 

This process allows me to slow down, by going on regular foraging walks I can connect with my surroundings. I hope this piece allows you to feel closer to nature and appreciate the smaller details within the world of botany.  

Your print will come with a biodegradable sleeve, backing board and a thoughtful thank you note, all carefully packaged in tissue paper and wrapping paper to ensure its safe arrival.
