#1 Linden Leaf Engraving 50×70

280

ONE OF A KIND! Engraving

Paper size: 50x70cm

Heart shaped Leaf from a linden or basswood tree.

This is a Drypoint Etching, an engraving method in which the Leaf image is scratched into a metal plate with a steel needle. Before being printed in the press, the plate is handpainted with stains and the engraved lines are rubbed with ink showing the fragile veins of the leaf.

The plate can only be used aprox 10 times, so this is a very exclusive collection.

On some of these prints the paper is first printed with a large piece of glass adding a “background” colour.

Every print is signed and printed on 250 gram fabriano paper in the artists studio in Copenhagen.

Packed and sent in a sturdy mailing tube.

Frame not included. ( Can be purchased from the shop but not send )

Made by Hand

Graphic designer and illustrator, Monika Petersen has chosen an old and traditional craft as her form of artistic expression. Monika creates modern artworks using the old linocut method – a technique that requires patience and endurance.

Inspired by nature

Welcome to a world where time, endurance and precision come together to produce prints that exude a graphic calm and peaceful intensity that remind us that some of the most beautiful patterns in the world come from nature.

Made responsibly

Monika Petersen’s artworks are created with a focus on sustainability. She creates all the Lino Prints by hand, and without using dangerous chemicals. The Lino blocks are cleaned in vegetable oil instead of toxic cleaners after printing. The oil makes the Lino more durable, and thereby ensures the optimal utilization of the materials.
