This print is my response to seeing invasive dog-strangling vine (European swallowwort, Vincetoxicum rossicum) popping up all over my neighbourhood. Not only do these plants create dense stands that outcompete native plants but they threaten the monarch butterfly which depends on milkweed and are fooled by similarities between the two into mistakenly laying eggs on dog-strangling vine 🧵
Some recent #gelplate prints that I quite like, even if not perfect. The goal was just to play with pics from my photo stash when I needed a break from another project.
I think I'm starting to get the hang of transfers, and at the very least these are giving me ideas for future print sessions (besides having fun with the process).
