Dog-Violet 1, Yellow Ochre Monoprint

This intricately designed Dog-Violet 1 monoprint features a delicate depiction of the flower, captured in a warm ochre ink that lends an earthy aesthetic. Printed by hand on Rosaspina paper, a heavier option, it also boasts three stunning deckled edges.

• Common Dog-Violet, Viola riviniana. 
• A5 original piece, handprinted.
• Fabriano Rosaspina 285gsm. 60% cotton. 5x7 inch plate size. 
• Yellow Ochre, 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.
