Framed Gyotaku print of Octopus Vulgris

Framed Gyotaku print of Octopus VulgrisCOLLECTION ONLY FROM MY STUDIO I was fortunate to be gifted this incredible specimen and have made several prints which have been immensely popular. Here I have used a hand made Japanese Mulberry paper and the octopus is off set to one side. After printing I then use the Urauchi method to apply backing paper to make the print frameable. The print has been professionally framed by my framer. Octopus are a difficult specimen to work with but make

The big Dory came from Brixham in Devon and was sent to me with other fish as by product of fish processing

So that means this is actually 15 separate prints

hall way or dining room

Framed they are 38

Items are usually shipped within five working days

This uses a flour and water paste and requires a drying period of around 24 hours

On a quiet day during the spring and summer I will often print them

I use the same method of printing which means inking up the frond then pressing a lightweight paper over the frond

The print is on Xuan Paper
