''Chamomile 1'' features in my summer collection of prints because this year I grew Chamomile in my garden. It has been so lovely to have fresh Chamomile flowers throughout the summer months to make tea. This is the first print in my 3 step printing process, where I have printed the area around the plant on the printing plate.
Chamomile.
A4 original piece, handprinted. 1/1
Fabriano Rosaspina paper, 285gsm. 60% cotton. 6x9 inch plate size.
Ochre yellow ink. Soy based.
- The wooden hanger is for photography purposes only, it is not being sold as part of the listing, thank you -
The technique of botanical monoprinting is a slow process, requiring all plants to be pressed for a few weeks before printmaking. Each piece is carefully curated using individual plants, making your artwork unique. The plant is inked up evenly and then put through the etching press with my chosen paper, where it presses the plant into the paper leaving an intricate copy of the delicate details.
This process allows me to slow down, by going on regular foraging walks I can connect with my surroundings. I hope this piece will enable 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.
