Demeter's Holy Grain - Unisex Linocut Tee
Block Printed Unisex Tees
Demeter’s Holy Grain Goddess of Harvest, among other things
5x7" image was hand carved into linoleum and is pressed in my home studio. “‘May it be mine,’ the reaper prays, ‘beside Demeter’s altar to dig the great winnowing fan through her heaps of corn, while she stands smiling by with sheaves and poppies in her hand.’” -Edith Hamilton, Mythology
This illustration is inspired by a fifth century terra cotta relief depicting the sacred serpent. The serpent is often viewed as mischievous but here is a protector of crops. Printed on ultra soft tees with rich pigment textile ink. Ink is well set for color fastness.
Tee and Ink Colors are limited and printed in very small batches. **If you would like an unlisted or out of stock size or tee color, please contact me. I can make it happen with additional processing time.
Wash gently on cold, tumble dry low and iron on reverse to maintain the print and cotton. Because of the hand printed nature, no two prints will be identical.
