Birds, stage-by-stage

Here is the stage-by-stage process of my new bird print – from original line drawing to a selection of prints, finished and laid out to dry!

Original line drawing in Indian ink.

Re-drawn branch, feathers comb and tail detail.

Selection of finished prints on various wallpaper backgrounds, laid out to dry.

Marthe Armitage 'Back to the Drawing Board'

Saw this fantastic woman on 'The Fabric Of Britain' last week. 

This is what I envision for myself when other people talk about "retirement"...

New prints!

I managed to squeeze in a new two-colour print on wallpaper this morning. Vintage wallpaper is getting hard to come by and can be very expensive, but I picked up some good stuff over the summer and have a few new designs ready to get onto screens.

This is the print I did today (without the lettering).
I used the artwork a couple of months ago for this advert for my prints on Etsy.

Hello stranger!

So, it's been a long time since I posted but, you know me – I'm always busy.

Where to start. Well, upcycling furniture, sewing but mainly printing, printing and more printing.

I have lots more to show you so I will be posting more over the next few days.
