After several months it’s time to play around with the slice of pear tree. The photo above, which links to a previous post, marked the end of a year of drying. The plan is to eventually carve into it for a relief print, but for now it is being used as the matrix for a monotype. Using colors and lines inspired by the artist, Hundertwasser, and Createx monotype ink, the print, Hundertwasser’s Cookie, was pulled on Rising Stonehenge paper. The process was a bit unwieldy, but enjoyable nonetheless.
