Pressed seaweed monoprints

I have just been framing some of my gel plate prints and thought these worked as a nice trio.

I have used metallic effect paint which gives the prints a slight shimmer in different shades of blue. The bobbly egg wrack gives good texture.

Keeping it simple with black wooden frames and white mounts with non reflective glass 👌🏼✨

Sunday seaweed foraging around the Llŷn.

With a distinct lack of wild flowers to press over the winter months I have been enjoying foraging and pressing seaweeds I have collected on my dog walks.

Sustainably collected off local shorelines, I press and dry the seaweed which can take about a week. With my pressings I have started to make botanical art prints, cyanotype prints and gel plate monoprints. These are available framed and unframed in my little shop. I hope you like them. 🪸💙🌊🐚

Thanks to the cove for hosting our lovely wreath workshop on Friday. It was so cosy wreathing around that big table whilst the waves crashed outside the window.

Big thanks also to the fabulous group attending who made it such a fun morning, grateful you chose to do your wreath making with me this year, you made some stunners 🫶🏼
