Frame Gyotaku of Bees and Honeycomb

Frame Gyotaku of Bees and HoneycombBees are well loved. Hardworking, community invested and producing delicious honey. So important for the pollination in many of our plants. Sadly the bees life is short lived and after a mere six weeks outside of the hive they expire. I've been printing from bees and honeycomb for a couple of years now and they always prove to be a popular subject. This print is on Thai Mulberry Paper and I've used a Gold acrylic ink which is lightfast and permanent.

The one that wasn't moving

the triptych has been backed using the urauchi method

Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions

The name for this process is Urauchi and it literally means to glue on backing

This print measures 35x33cm and is on Chinese Mulberry paper and has been mounted using the authentic Japanese wet mounting technique which uses a simple flour and water paste and requires a period of around 24 hours to dry and stretch

After printing

I then flattened it using the Urauchi method

The lobster is such a great subject for a coastal artist like myself

The print will be wrapped in tissue paper and posted in a poster tube
