Artfinder artists have been asked to create work with a bee theme as they have partnered with Friends of the Earth to help promote TheBeeCause campaign. So here is my response - a mini reduction linocut of a group of bumbles bees with their heads buried in a fluffy woolly thistle flower.

A reduction print is a relief print formed with layers of colour that are cut and printed from the same block, in this case, from lino. This is one of a small edition of prints, all of which are printed by hand so small variations occur between them making each one truly original.

This work is printed with water-based, light-fast inks on Somerset Satin paper and has a beautiful matt finish. It is numbered, titled and signed at the bottom, mounted in a neutral colour and wrapped in cellophane to keep it clean. The mounted work will fit straight into a 7x8inch frame.

This artwork will be packaged in a bubble envelope with plenty of card support for safety.

Materials used:

Printed on Somerset Satin with water-based light-fast inks. Mounted to fit into a 7 x 8 inch frame.
