Linocut & monoprint 
A4 paper size unframed
Printed on mixed awagami papers
 
This is a collection of four similar monoprints created using the same linocut as the base with two layers of monoprints made using fern leaves.  The linocut layer was created by etching the lino with caustic soda which had been painted onto fern leaves.
 
The paper is A4 and the lino roughly A5, on some of the prints the leaves overhang the edges of the lino area.  One of the series is included in the Awagami Miniature Print Exhibition in Japan, 2023.
