Faerie Narrative: A Suite of Two Eco Prints

Posted on February 25, 2017 by

What the photos don’t show are the mica-like specs embedded in these papers, which are the cardboard backings of watercolour-faced boards, separated into sheets by peeling when wet. Some of the specs are pink. They glitter constantly reminding me of … Continue reading →
