Block Print Collection
by Barbara St.Jean Overview The technic use in this series is very informal. Each lino block was hand carved and inked using the old method of hand application and pressing giving each print a simplicity style and uniqueness of its own. After the first inking is set an over inking together with gold/metallic/colour pen embellishments are then applied. No two prints are the same and the slight imperfections add originality to each piece. The paper used is good quality 8.5” x 11” card stock. Actual print sizes are approximately 4”x 6” or 5” x 7” Retail price is $100 each print or $250 for sets of 3 – unframed or matted However, it is recommended that the prints are matted and framed by your local gallery or frame shop |
Handmade 2D Paper Picture Collection
By Barbara C St. Jean Overview The irony of this collection will appeal to other artists and paper recyclers of all kind. Each piece of approximately 6” x 6” paper was hand made from an artist’s old used drawing, watercolor or writing pads. Each of us has accumulated piles of sketches, watercolors, and writings that didn’t make the grade and yet we hang on to them for whatever reason. So this collection makes what is old, new again. Many an artist has contributed to this endeavor and we are still looking for more. Each piece has a history and you never know what or whose work is imbedded within the fiber, occasionally a little of the old is still visible, if only for a bit here and there. Flowers, stems, grasses, lint and other bits of discarded artist waste have also found their way into the mix giving it charm. The pictures done in Acrylic and ink are just icing to add more flavor to the mix. We like to refer to this collection as the Last known Tree… Somehow it seems fitting. The small paper pieces are set on card stock in the colors of Burgundy, Hunter Green or Black and framed using inexpensive stock 8.5” x 11” size frames, the kind used to frame those once important, hard earned certificates we all packed around with us from office to office. Some of those ended up in the mix as well; hope you enjoy this as much as I did making them. Retail price is $100 for each framed print, not so much because of the cost of those artist supplies used, but because of the time taken to make the end product, sometimes decades… email bcstjean@(hotmail.ca) for ordering information. Wholesale inquires welcome |
This collection is ever growing and changing; below are some of the pieces currently available but if none of them appeal to you check back next month a whole new layer cake could be made by then. As they sell new ones are added. It’s a great way to support the contributing artists, one way or another and if this takes off and makes a bit of money out of our collective trash then we are all to benefit. You never know maybe we can support a special event or charity. What do you think? What do you have in your bottom drawer?
