Diana made this print using traditional Moku Hanga tools and materials. A wood block is carved for each color, water based non-toxic inks are applied with brushes and slightly damp paper is hand pressed onto the block using a tool called a baren. Lots of time and Qi goes into each print. Moku Hanga translates to "Wood Graphic." Wood block printing has its origins in China; a wood block print on silk dating from 220 AD is the official start. Diana sells this and other beautiful prints in her Shop.http://www.etsy.com/shop/qipapers
I'm very excited that I won this beautiful piece of art. The paper feels amazing. It is handmade Japanese paper called Nishiouchi. Hop over and visit with her and the bunnies. Tell her Shell said hi!

Congratulations on winning a beautiful work of art! I love that tiger!
This makes us think of that William Blake poem that begins:
Tiger Tiger. burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye.
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
You are lucky, that is one beautiful piece of work.

Congrats on your pretty piece of art. I am glad that I am not the only one having a problem with blogger. I really don't understand it, but I have had the same problem. It is frustrating when you get your comment ready to post only to lose it. We have had a little heat relief not near enough. This week will be flying that is for sure. Have a great one. Your Missouri Friend.
Congratulations! I always love to look at Diana's artworks...
Wow! That's absolutely gorgeous! blessings, marlene
