Hydrangea Framed | Kris Waldin

Framed Dimensions h410mm x W380mm (Framed in Black)

Description Monochrome drypoint etching

Edition Size: 10

This print is a combination of four processes beginning with a drypoint etching of the tea set, then a linocut emboss of the pearls, before hand-colouring in the watercolour leaves and flowers and a final flourish of Gold Foil is added to complete the print. Subtle variations exist so each print is unique.

This was inspired by my grandmothers old rose tea set that was handed down to me along with her double strand pearls which I don't wear much but do treasure.
