“Fuaite le Grá/Stitched with Love”

A print inspired by my Mum who stitches her love into each piece she knits for us. I love how the Irish translation “fuaite le grá” means intertwined or interwoven with love. I think this captures more accurately the sentiment behind the piece. When a baby is born, or the temperature drops, out come my Mum’s knitting needles, each piece wrapping us in her love.

About print

This piece is an original hand pulled lino print. After designing the print, I hand carved it into the linoleum block. Ink was then rolled across the surface and the image was hand burnished onto Zerkall paper using my Mum’s old wooden spoon.

Please note that each print is printed individually by hand. This means there may be slight variations between prints.

You can choose to receive your print framed or unframed. If you choose to receive your print framed, it will come float framed in a white box frame with a spray painted neon pink spacer. I use acrylic glass as it has excellent clarity, is shatterproof and lightweight. It is a little more expensive than glass but is ideal for posting, ensuring your framed piece will arrive in perfect condition.

Unframed prints come with a backing board. The backing boards that I use are lignin-free, alkaline sized and pH neutral to ensure that they do not cause any damage to the print.
