Home Grown Blue

This original collagraph and drypoint print combines handcrafted printmaking with the delicate beauty of a pressed botanical specimen. The textured blue house, created from an etched cardboard printing plate, is softened by the addition of a real dried flower, creating a quiet dialogue between the handmade and the natural world.

Inspired by the idea of home as a place of comfort, growth and memory, the composition celebrates simplicity and the beauty found in everyday objects. The pressed flower becomes a gentle reminder that nature often leaves its own lasting impressions, just as our homes hold the stories of our lives.

Beautifully framed in natural timber, this original artwork brings together printmaking, texture and botanical elements in a contemporary interpretation of home.
