**************
I made some background as monoprints/monotypes also for my linocut of an Swallowtail butterfly. It was fun to experiment different techniques and colours with these. Usually the background is a monoprint and the butterfly a linocut. I used Gelli plate to make the backgrounds. I spread the colour, pieces of plants or lace on the Gelli plate, then I covered the place of the butterfly with a plastic stencil and printed that on a paper pressing by hand. When the background was dry, I printed the linocut of the Swallowtail butterfly on its place. On some of the pictures I pressed the colour of the stencil under the linocut. On some of the pictures I added coloured ink under the wings before printing. Some of the butterflies I printed green. There is even silver glitter on some wings. These Swallowtail butterflies are sized 15 x 15 cm, and there is about ten of them different ones.
