About the Design:
"The Heron Pool" is the largest block print I've carved to date. The design is inspired by both the art nouveau and folk art styles, and features a great blue Heron hunting among water little and pickerel weeds. This is a black and white edition of 40 prints.
Item Details:
This particular print is made from a hand carved “soft kut” printmaking block.

About Block Printing:
Block prints often have slight textures and variations in the finished products. I think that's why I love them-- each one is special. Please be aware that, while I aim for consistency within each edition, there may be slight variations with each print and colors may differ from your computer screen.
