Scallop Shell Duo Gyotaku by Jane Evans

Scallop Shell Duo Gyotaku by Jane EvansScallop shells have been used so much in art and design they really are very pleasing. They are particularly tied to the Island of Anglesey as they have their own biscuit here. The Aberffraw biscuit is made by pressing biscuit dough into the shell to give it a distinctive shell shape. They also taste great too! Printing requires pushing the paper into the grooves and it's difficult to achieve a great print. This print is A4 in size and is on Chinese

The print is made using the finest quality Acrylic ink

The print is mounted in a white mount measuring approx 40cmx50cm

I've included a photo so you can see it
