Bottling sunshine (2026)Linocut
by Mariann Johansen-Ellis

If only we could!! Imagine opening the bottle on a dreary January afternoon ;o))

A linocut reduction means that I start by cutting away what I want to be white areas, I then roll up in the first color and all prints in the short edition of 7 prints, go through the press, for each print I have to ink up the plate again, I then cut away what I want to remain in that color, print all the prints and so on and on until the last color, all the time cutting away means I am left with the bare bones, which is why linocut reductions are also known as "lost plate", each print rolled up in each color by me.

Bottling Sunshine is printed in an edition of 7 prints and I sign, title and number each print, please note you might not receive the number in the photo.

The heavy weight warm white printmaking paper measures 52 cm x 35 cm (21" x 14")
and the actual printed area measures 39 cm x 24 cm (15,5" x 9,5")

I ship with many years experience in packing my art so it arrives safely, see my many reviews!
Thanks for looking and welcome back, Mariann
