Printmaking in itself is prone to detail and minute effects, thus mini
prints seem natural to the medium. All types of printmaking techniques can be used on small formats, though I believe dry point is the finest. Nevertheless, this treasury includes many more types, such as linocut, collography, woodblock printing, even digital printing. As for the subject matter, small, delicate things are obviously favored: feathers, small animals and plants, architectural details (windows), but one can also find portraits and abstract compositions.
Here is a collection of my favorite mini prints on Etsy. Enjoy!
