Purple Jelly 1-517

watercolor, ink, plant printing by Dana Wolf

This original ACEO artwork is part of a small jellyfish series created with watercolor, mimosa bloom printing, and ink. The soft purple forms were built through layers of watercolor and actual botanical printing using mimosa blooms. That printing process gives the piece its organic texture and movement, making each card truly unique. The marks are partly guided and partly created by the natural shape of the bloom itself, so no two pieces in the series can ever be exactly the same. Loose ink lines were added afterward to define the jellyfish form and create the drifting, tangled movement of the tentacles. This is an original miniature artwork, not a print. It measures 2.5" x 3.5", the traditional ACEO / art card size, and is part of a handmade multimedia series.
