WATERY WEDNESDAY - BREASTING THE WAVES...

This is a handmade paper print...


I have spent a good deal of my life living close to the ocean and have made many prints reflecting the sea.  In this particular 'collage', leftover images printed from grainy pine wood were embedded into the rolled out wet pulp, the threads of which, when dry, became the print.   Gold paint was used to create the embossed image to suggest the universe of sea and sky.

    There's such a lot of work in this print and tantalising glimpses of objects and people.

    What a clever idea, to include your art work as part of Watery Wednesday! It's obvious it was a good move.
