SALE Rabbit in the Ferns, One Of a Kind Original Collage

Original price $225.00........... Sale price, 25% Off......... $168.75

A sitting rabbit rests quietly amongst the ferns. Shades of green, yellow and gold compliment the black and white image of the rabbit. Really beautiful.

"Rabbit in the Ferns" is a mixed media collage made up of a linocut rabbit print, a botanical mono print, stamped leaves, and acrylic embellished colored papers. This is a unique, one-of-a-kind artwork.
___________________________________________________________________

The original inspiration for my collage work came from the pile of imperfect linocut prints that I have accumulated over the course of the last 5 years. Parts of them were good, other parts, unacceptable. I knew I wanted to use the good parts somehow, someday.

The fern background is a mono print. A thin layer of acrylic paint is rolled out on a plate of gelatin, and ferns were placed on top of the wet paint. Paper placed over the top was lightly pressed, and the paper peeled back, revealing the botanical image.

The acrylic embellished papers come from my love of painting. I use various texturing techniques with the paint to create a, "visual texture."

*All materials used for this collage are acid free and archival.

*Size: Art is approximately 10"x10," mounted on a 12"x12"sheet of Stonehenge printing paper with one deckle edge on the bottom.

*Framing Suggestion: I would suggest having an acid free mat cut for the collage and framing it in a 14"x14" or 16"x16" frame, if you like a lot of mat. Acid free mat board will keep the paper from yellowing with age. The mat will keep the collage away from the glass, just in case moisture gets inside the frame. And always, the best way to protect any original art piece is to be sure to not hang it in direct sunlight or close to a bright lamp which will age and fade the artwork.
