Love + Roses [print + glass bundle]

this is a bundle of my 2020 print “Still Be Love” paired with a handmade glass rose i made in 2022. each one of these pieces is an original print/object made by me. in your order, you will receive (1) unframed original print and (1) glass rose.<br><br>the print is done by carving a linoleum block to make a relief print + typesetting letterpress fonts to create the text. they are then set in a vandercook press one at a time then printed. the first registration is in black ink for the block print + the second run adds the silver text. the paper was upcycled &amp; each print is signed + dated in pencil. they are 5” x 7.5”.<br><br>the rose is made by hand in a hot shop + then annealed in a kiln. the petals are red—sometimes with an iridescent copper tinge—the center is clear, and the stem is a green that sparkles in the sun. it is about 2.5 inches wide and 3.5 inches long. each will vary in size, shape, and color; they are each engraved with a small signature. they are part kitsch, part magical talisman &amp; mostly just cute.
