DESCRIPTION

Inspired by the horses of Mackinac Island and Michigan wildflowers.  Morning Frolic #2 is a one-color original linoleum block print with mixed media embellishments including birch bark, gold leaf and watercolor.   Each one is made to order and takes four-six weeks to complete.

ORIGINAL RELIEF PRINT
In relief printmaking, an artist applies ink to a hand-carved block and then burnishes the inked relief onto a piece of paper. Multiple originals are possible by re-inking the carved surface and burnishing the relief onto a new piece of paper. The total number of identical prints is the edition number.

PRODUCT DETAILS
Printed by hand with soy-based ink on quality 280 lb. paper. The acid-free, archival paper ensures the original block print will last a lifetime for generations to enjoy. Each print is presented in an archival, 100% alpha cellulose mat with a backing board. Packaged in an archival clear, recyclable bag.

Please note: Due to the one-of-a-kind nature of the medium, exact colors and design registrations may vary slightly from the image shown.

FRAME OPTIONS
Frame choices include a natural, walnut or black stained 3/4 inch wood moulding from the Jane Seymour (of “Somewhere in Time” fame) Moulding Collection by FOTIOU, which contributes to a reforestation initiative with every purchase. The pine wood frames are responsibly sourced and manufactured with Forest Stewardship Council Certification.
