acrylic "block print" on hand-made paper. 10"x7". 2010.
It's not exactly a block print. I just used that method to transfer the image onto the paper. I used thinned out acrylic paint in place of ink, and some cheap craft foam that I found at WallMart mounted onto heavy paper as a make-shift linoleum block. Due to the texture of the paper, the paint did not take very well, which I sort of expected, but it made a good enough outline that I was able to paint in the gaps with a brush afterwards.
The paper is made from blue and yellow construction paper, yellow printer paper, blue party streamers, tree leaves, and erva-mate (a Brazilian tea). The green parts that you see are the color of the paper.
