Pippin - Letterpress Print with Hand-Drawing

Description

Pippin is a cheerful little dude (or moon, or sun, or planet?) He is part of my "Dream Bubbles" series.

This is an original print. The paper size measures 3.5" x 5" (8.9 cm x 12.7 cm) and is a standard size for framing.

The print itself was made with a combination of a hand-carved linoleum block and a polymer plate, hand letterpress-printed by me onto cream Stonehenge printmaking paper. Then I drew over the print using pen and ink. Therefore, it is a completely unique work of art, none quite like it (it is NOT a digital reproduction!) For letterpress connoisseurs, the indentation is very subtle, though you can see it if you look close. I cut out each "bubble" and pasted it onto a sage green japanese paper, which I then affixed to a cream-colored Rives paper. I have signed and titled the print in pencil.

This item will ship via First Class Mail, slipped into a cello bag and sandwiched in cardboard to protect it during transit. If you would like to insure this piece, please contact me so I can add the extra charges for shipping.
