Butterfly Print

11X11 inch, Suspension Screen Print

Design based on an original photo of a butterfly captured at Krohn Conservatory in Eden Park, Cincinnati. The image is a three color design that uses suspension screen printing; a technique that uses water-based inks in the printing process to create color variances in each layer. Each layer has multiple colors sprayed on a screen that are allowed to dry, then they are reconstituted in the printing process using a special clear ink that pushes the dry pigments onto the paper in unique patterns.

NOTE: This is only a digital file showing off the final design and color layers. It does not actually emulate the results of the physical suspension prints.
