Blue Moon Daisies
Relief print and collage

Blue Moon Daises started out with an earthtone background and collaged maps.  I used my tall weed plate to create the basis for a blue flower which was printed three times.  I also used maps to add interest on top of the relief prints.

Printmaking marches on! In this print, I used maps in my background.  I'm trying maps since that is the theme of a juried show at the Riverside Gallery in Ypsilanti.  I do love maps and have used them many times in my work.  Who knows where this will lead me.  Enjoy!

Collagraph and collage

New print today.  I created a new collagraph background and printed with burnt sienna and off white.  I also layered strips of tape to resist the paint.  Totally different background...I'm not sure if I like the very abstract look.  Maybe I just don't like the colors.  Next time, I will use my favorite greens and blues.  I did have fun printing and over-printing the flowers with the purples and blue.  I will try these colors on a different background.  Collaged in orange paper to add contrast.   Maybe it will end up in the cut up pile.
