Hand Printed Gyotaku Anglesey Crab

Hand Printed Gyotaku Anglesey CrabCrab is quite a difficult specimen to print from. Like a lobster it's much more 3 dimensional than a fish so there is a lot of work to do making things don't slip and slide around. This crab is printed on Chinese Mulberry Paper, measuring 50x34cm approximately. After printing, the paper is then mounted using the traditional wet mounting technique of uruachi. For this I make a flour based glue and use this to bond the print to a second sheet of paper.

If you aren't familiar with Gyotaku the process is to take an actual fish

I love where I live and I’ve always been a bit of a magpie picking up bits and pieces on walks
