I absolutely love it. Such a perfect present for me. We enjoyed looking at all the dogs, especially the Sheltie in his own special framed corner... he likes to feel special!

How this print was made

Each print in the edition is hand-printed from a lino plate. The design is carved by hand into the lino using a series of gouges. Each line and dog and all the lettering are painstakingly carved out (in reverse so that they are the right way round when printed) and as each cut is final — there is no room for error. It took over 60 hours of carving to create this plate.

When the plate is ready to print, it is inked up with traditional linseed oil ink using a large roller (or brayer) and the Japanese paper is placed over the inked plate. The ink is transferred to the paper with the aid of special hand tools and an old etching press. Each print is then signed and numbered.

When I showed my husband he thought your print was quite something. I knew it was going to be incredible as you shared with us images during the carving process. Looking forward to having it framed and up on the wall and excited to see it every day!!

I came across your Dogs of the British Isles print and absolutely love it, especially as it features a bearded collie (in my opinion the best dogs in the world!) and they never get any limelight!
