"DAISY BOUQUET" 

20" x 16" Woodcut on Natural Kitakata

Tugboat Printshop (Valerie & Paul), 2015.

While we wile away the hours on large & super intensive projects, we keep a lot of drawings on wood in progress going behind the scenes. Sometimes we get so excited about a new image, we have to make it! In that spirit, of new things growing & summer awakening, we introduce a surprise new woodcut print!

A still-life composition, printed from 2 woodblocks in dark & light, the "DAISY BOUQUET" is a pretty & classic print. Blossoms fringed with white-tinted petals burst from branching stems. Whimsical patterns of star shaped pollens tip each flower's center.

Simple, serene. Get a "DAISY BOUQUET" from the online shop HERE!

"DAISY BOUQUET" WOODCUT PROGRESS

 

Some details from the carving of the key block for the "DAISY BOUQUET" woodcut. Big blooms burst from branching stems, each blossom fringed with white-tinted petals (the 2nd block prints this petal color). Flower centers are tipped with a varying patternwork of star-snapped pollens. 

A still-life composition, printed from 2 woodblocks in dark & light, the "DAISY BOUQUET" is a pretty & classic print.
