new mokuhanga print 2

It’s finished! Here’s my newest print summer blooms all framed up, ready for the Summer Colour Exhibition at 3331 Arts Chiyoda in Tokyo in 2 weeks.

It’s a 4 block print, with a variety of layering and bokashi techniques. I wanted to create more realistic looking flowers than my usual, but still with my feature flatness. I love how the stems came out!

Here’s my printing set-up with sketches to work from, and a detail of one of the buds. Hope you can pop in to the show to take a look!
