There\u2019s so much to discover about common milkweed:<\/p>\n

Not only its young shoots are edible in spring, offering a fresh, natural snack but also its pods that look and taste like cucumbers. Through summer, its vibrant flowers not only add beauty but play a crucial role in supporting monarch butterflies by providing them with nectar and a place to lay their eggs. Without milkweed, monarchs would struggle to survive.<\/p>\n

Come fall, the seeds develop those soft, silky fibers. The tiny parachutes are helping the seeds float away on the wind. These fibers aren\u2019t just fascinating; they\u2019re also practical, used as a vegan, sustainable alternative to down in insulation.<\/p>\n

Even more impressive is the plant\u2019s fibers, which can be processed into paper! This is highlighting the milkweed\u2019s versatility beyond what most people realize!<\/p>\n

This plant\u2019s resilience, usefulness, and quiet beauty inspire me deeply.<\/p>\n

All my artwork is handmade and original with a mix of limited and open edition linocut prints. I design, carve, press and pull the prints in my studio in the Laurentides, Canada.<\/p>\n

Please note: Because of its handmade nature there may be tiny variations to the picture. Be this colour, evenness of ink or other small differences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Hand-printed linocut on handmade Lokta paper<\/em><\/p>\n

Dimensions: 10 x 20 inch (26 x 50 cm)<\/em><\/p>\n

Common milkweed is not only a remarkably versatile plant, but it also has such a feminine aura that it caught my eye this autumn.This plant\u2019s resilience, usefulness, and quiet beauty inspire me deeply.<\/p>\n

This print was created using the \u2018reduction method,\u2019 this technique involves carving a single lino block in stages to build up layers of color. Here 6 layers have been created. With this technique, a little more is carved away from the printing block after each layer of colour, so that only one edition can be printed. Once the print is sold out, it will never be available again.<\/p>\n

Each print is designed, carved, and hand-printed by me in my small workshop in the Laurentians. Because of it\u2019s handmade nature, slight variations in color and print may occur. These small differences are exactly what make hand-printed works so special and beautiful.<\/p>\n

I print on handmade Lokta paper, and each sheet has its own unique character. This makes every piece truly one of a kind.<\/p>\n

Frame and accessories are not included.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3000,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[18],"product_tag":[71],"class_list":{"0":"post-2998","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-printworks","7":"product_tag-reductionprint","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\nBotanical
