Frame Gyotaku of Bees and Honeycomb

Frame Gyotaku of Bees and HoneycombBees are well loved. Hardworking, community invested and producing delicious honey. So important for the pollination in many of our plants. Sadly the bees life is short lived and after a mere six weeks outside of the hive they expire. I've been printing from bees and honeycomb for a couple of years now and they always prove to be a popular subject. This print is on Thai Mulberry Paper and I've used a Gold acrylic ink which is lightfast and permanent.

The print is in standard A4 mount

part of my mini series of coastal wall art prints

A4 in size the external frame measures approx 32cmx43cm

which literally translates as 'Hedgehog of the Sea'

I've printed this on an A5 sheet of Chinese calligraphy paper using an acrylic ink

This is a large John Dory gifted to me some time ago

The paper I work on is very thin oriental paper made from tree bark fiber

reflecting Jane’s commitment to using responsibly obtained specimens that connect directly to the island's coastal life

I applied it using the same Urauchi method

and the work is supplied rolled in a protective tube
