Cards.

I've been having lots of fun over the past few years trying out various forms of print making, from lino cuts to collagraphs, from gelatine plate prints to stamp carving and from collage to digital prints. All of this has resulted in a pile of prints, not all of which are worth framing or exhibiting. Some of the prints which appear to be failures, do however have parts of them that pass muster, and so I have been creating cards from these, not from the originals, but from photos of the originals, as I may yet add to the originals.

Below are a group of photos of prints that I made into cards recently. If you look closely you can see stitching on the middle one.

               Each print uses multiple techniques, so the 'cover all' description is 'mixed media'!

The blue print below was made using pieces of a common weed called Shepherds' Purse. The little heart shaped seed capsules are ideal for making an image on a gelatine plate.
