Pigsqueak

This print was created for the Tiger Lily Press Calendar and was inspired by a beautiful plant with a curious name. This hardy annual has lived in my backyard since we bought our house almost twenty years ago. To read the story about how it got its name, how it became my subject, and the entire process, visit my blog Nessy Designs.

CALENDAR

Every other year Tiger Lily Press creates a calendar to raise funds for their programs and I was very excited to participate this year. The calendar includes original serigraph, cyanotype, screenprints, relief, and letterpress prints. 

The calendar was designed so the buyer can easily cut the bottom portion off and frame the print. Each print is 6” x 8” and suitable for framing in a precut 8” x 10” mat and framed in a standard 11” x 14” frame.

Each participating artist was asked to print 120 copies of their print to be included in the calendar so if you would like to buy one you'd better act fast as their are only 120 of these in existence! You can purchase the calendars from the Tiger Lily Press website here. 

The calendars are sold out, but if you are interested in this print you can purchase them below.

PIGSQUEAK PRINT

After printing the calendars, I made 12 additional prints on beautiful Stonehenge paper. Because this print is also in the calendar I am labelling this print an “unlimited edition” even though it is unlikely I will print more.

This is a one-color print, hand-tinted with watercolor. Each “Pigsqueak” was printed using oil-based ink on cotton paper.  This is an unlimited edition.
