Product description

The common dogwood is a beautiful but often overlooked native shrub, found along woodland edges, hedgerows and scrubland throughout Britain. I was drawn to the elegant shape of its leaves and their delicate veins, which make a lovely subject for a small botanical linocut. As the seasons change, the leaves take on warm autumn shades before falling to reveal the dogwood's distinctive red stems, which add a splash of colour to the winter landscape. I love discovering these quieter details on walks, and this little print is a celebration of a familiar British plant that is easy to pass by without noticing.

This common dogwood leaf print is part of my mini woodland leaves print series. Small and collectible. They are hand printed on beautiful Japanese handmade paper, which has a translucent quality where you can see all the natural fibres. It also features a deckled edge that makes each piece feel truly special.

These prints measure approximately 105 x 148 mm at the widest points, though there may be small variations due to the qualities of the handmade paper. 

Bring the quiet beauty of the British woodlands and trees into your home with this mini common dogwood leaf botanical print. Perfect for cottage interiors, gallery walls, or as a thoughtful gift for gardeners, wildflower and nature lovers.

Packaging

Prints are unframed and will arrive in a compostable cello sleeve with a grey board backing to keep it safe and beautifully presented. 

My products are posted in a sturdy board-backed envelope, and all packaging is fully recyclable, so kind to your artwork and the environment.

How to care for your print

To keep your linocut print looking its best, store or display it away from direct sunlight, moisture and extreme temperatures, as these can cause fading or warping over time.

If you're not framing it right away, keep it flat in its protective sleeve or between clean sheets of acid-free paper.

When framing, use a mount or mat to prevent the print from touching the glass. Paper with deckled edges looks particularly impressive when float mounted (a picture-framing technique where artwork is mounted on top of a backing board rather than hidden behind a traditional mount or mat).

With just a little care, your handmade print will stay beautiful for many years to come.

Hand carved and printed by me

Printed on beautiful handmade paper

Each design is printed onto textured handmade paper, where the natural fibres and deckled edges make every sheet unique. No two pieces of paper are exactly alike, from the patterns of the fibres within the paper to the character of the edges. These natural variations add to the individuality and charm of each print.

The character of a handmade print

Every print is individually printed and made by human hands, so you may notice subtle variations in ink coverage, colour, texture and impression. These natural differences are part of the character of handmade printing, making each print slightly unique.
