Cveta

My mother in law Cveta was born in small village of East Europe.

There was no electricity, no gas, no paved road until about 1970.

She moved to Sydney, Australia
when she was 24 years old with her husband.
This is the picture they took around that time.

I love this expression of her
because I can't read any emotion from her face.

I tried to draw this mysterious expression of hers in many ways.

Drawing with water colour.

Wood engraving print with water colour.

A Harmonious Couple

I carved out this two harmonious roses on a woodcut of boxwood.

And print on the paper made from "Gampi" with black oil ink.
"Gampi"is very very thin and catches the ink very well,
it is delicate and beautiful paper.

Cut around the form and stick on the thick paper of BFK Rives.
