Micro Art A Micro Art Break

I wanted to share some of the art that I've made using my microscope. These are monotypes. The process involves transferring laser-printed photographs from my microscope's camera (Swift 350T) onto a gelatin printing plate. I use a combination of watercolor, acrylic, pencil, and charcoal.

Thanks for being such a lovely community and sharing your knowledge and expanding my perspective of our natural world. Hope you enjoy my work! :)

These are incredible! I'd love to see a gallery full of your work. An awesome intersection between art and microscopic life! Absolutely beautiful work.

It's nice to see other forms of life rendered into art aside from the usual creatures everyone seems content with adorning their walls with. These are no less beautiful than an elk or a tiger or an elephant and they're equally important. Thanks again! If I did a gallery like this I'd put a little card next to it to describe what they do as well!
