Explore the Greater Stitchwort 1, Green Ghost Print  - showcasing captivating star-shaped blooms that seem to sway on the page. These flowers are perfect for botanical printmaking, as they flatten exceptionally well. This is a ghost monoprint, creating a grainy and textured appearance despite its two-dimensional nature.

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.
