Limited edition, original linocut print of 50 titled ‘Lion’s Tooth’ and signed by me, Sarah Delahoy, printmaker and owner of DelARTful Designs Printmaking Studio.
My dandelion drawing, which also features a butterfly, grasshopper, ladybird, bee and snail, was hand carved into the lino using sharp pfeil cutting tools and individually printed on 38 x 26.5cm Zerkall 145gsm smooth white paper in a mix of Phthalo Blue and Phthalo Green ink in my studio.
The Dandelion was originally named ‘dent-de-lion’ by the French, meaning `tooth of the lion’ which refers to the jagged teeth-like leaves. English speakers later twisted the word into what we know today. This linocut print forms part of a collection of botanical forms featuring wild flowers and insects.
Due to the nature of hand printing each print may be slightly different making each one unique and original.
