Love Birds

I know that the first day of spring was some while ago, but I've either been too wrapped up in my busy little world to notice, or it just hasn't felt like spring until today. So, I decided to make the most of the sun and get a little bit creative in my garden...

I've been wanting to do lino-cut printing for a while. It's slightly more sophisticated than potato printing and runs slightly less risk of me injuring myself than wood-cut printing. The design is based on a charm I have, and is printed in turquoise acrylic or yellow oilpaint. The latter was a bit of an accident, but it makes for an interesting texture. I am happy/pleasantly surprised with the results!

Staying on the springtime theme... being awoken by bird song every morning seems to have snuck its way from my subconscious into my jewellery designs as well recently.

All will no doubt be on my Folksy shop sometime soon, but for now I'm going to do like my cat and go lounge in the sun. Happy Easter!
