Give you Flowers (2026) Etchings & engravings by Mariann Johansen-Ellis

I just wanted to give you flowers, to let you know I love you, sometimes it is hard to say in words, easier to say with a hug!

a handprinted aquatint etching; this means that I have drawn the image, through a varnish, onto a copper plate, I then immerse the copper plate in acid, and the acid "bites" into the copper where I have removed the varnish. When the plate is done, and this takes a while, as most copper plates go in the acid several times, with me adding more detail and aquatint (gives dark tones) I ink the copper plate up for each print I make, you can only print once per inking. Once the ink and paper has dried I sign, title and number each print. As etchings are real hands on printmaking, printmaker are allowed to call their prints original prints, and etchings are very collectible. A great way to start an art collection!

I print Give you Flowers in a short second edition of only 50 prints, each print is numbered and signed by me. Please note you might not receive the number in the photograph.

The etching is printed on a piece of warm white heavy printmaking paper, perfect for the image,
the paper measures 10 x 14" (25 x 34 cm)
and the actual images measures 6" x 9" (16 cm x 23 cm)

I ship from my studio in Denmark, fully tracked, within 3 days, with many years experience in packaging my art so it arrives safely, see my 1000+ happy reviews.

Thanks for visiting, come back soon!
