During a recent visit to South Africa, I picked up a common limpet shell (Patella vulgata) by the sea at Betty's Bay, and made a linocut of it. I was inspired by the slightly wobbly geometry of its radial ridge pattern, its crisp scooped edges and its areas of light and shadow. I used this linocut in the design of my latest logo sticker. I hope you like it!
This is an original item, hand printed by me, using artist's quality oil-based inks, which printed beautifully on 250 gsm Somerset Satin White acid-free printmaking paper. The image (excluding the handwritten title) is 6.5 cm wide by 10.5 high (approx. 2.5 inches wide by 4 inches high). A crisp, striking print that is big on charm.
Each print is unique, with subtle variations from the next one.
This artwork is sold unframed for ease and economy of shipping. However, it is despatched in a commercially-manufactured textured off-white mount set. (For more information about the mount set, please see 'Shipping Info' section below.) So not only is your purchase ready to present as a gift (if that is your plan with it), but the mount set, together with other robust packaging, protects the print during shipping. There is plenty of margin for framing and the mount set can be discarded, if you have other plans for the print.
