Embossing on Water Color Paper

   This design was carved on layers of diverse paper materials and textures, then set over pre-soaked water color paper that finally was squeezed and pressed in between two rolls to apply great amount of pressure to produce each piece. The original mold of carved layers and textures only produced eight copies in total, before it was flatted by the repetitive proses and pressure applied.
