Frog Gyotaku

Frog Gyotaku

I made this embellished paper of flax, kozo, iris, papyrus, heather and bougainvillea flowers. It is 16" x 20" and very thin, even paper. After living with it for months I decided to try printing the frogs carefully around the petals to see if it would be worthwhile to further decorate such a fancy piece of paperwork. I like it even better now with the gyotaku. Rarely do I risk taking such busy papers and printing further on them.
