Fox and Rowanberries (2026) Collagraphs by Mariann Johansen-Ellis

I love nature, and often spot the fox on my morning walk, he is just such a perfect companion to the rowan berries, the colors just pop, never mind he thought the berries were sour, you can't get everything in life!

A collagraph, means that I have on a piece of cardboard, for the berries, made cuts, removed the first layer of cardboard to create mid tones, cut a bit deeper and removed more of the layers to get the really dark tones, where I want light colors, I have added lacquer so I can clean that area really well, all this is time consuming. I have then made a second plate for the fox, so I can ink him up in strong colors. When I have done my cutting, the plate needs to be shellaced to protect it. Because of the fragility of the cardboard plate, I get very few prints, in my mind that makes it more fun for me, it is a very creative way of making prints and you will see more of them in the future.
I have printed 8 prints, and that is it, they all come with small difference one to the other, I hope you will treasure this as part of the handmade process.

I have signed, titled and numbered each print.
Please note you might not receive the number in the photo

The beautiful warm white paper measures 20" x 16" (51 cm x 40 cm )
and the actual printed area measures 14" x 10,5" (36 cm x 27 cm )
The print is striking and can frame large if you wish to make a statement piece.

I ship from Denmark, fully tracked, within 3 days, with many years experience in packing my art so it arrives safely, see my many happy reviews.
Thank you for looking, Welcome back, Mariann
