bird lino prints



I've been cutting out birds again...

I started with this small flock of starlings - they have flown off for their first outing to Ginger Fig in Taunton who are having a 'Birds and bees' exhibition at the moment...


...and I have now become somewhat Starling obsessed - after all they do appear in vast numbers, they need to be in huge flocks, thirteen is just not enough and I've given every single one a name as I carve it too!

So far there have only been tens of starlings on each piece of lino - I wonder if I could manage a hundred without going cross-eyed??

Hahaha! If you look cross-eyed at these birds, they are already hundred.. ;). I think they are beautiful, can't have enough birds..

Thanks for your comments everyone - I don't need much encouragement with these guys, it's addictive and relaxing cutting out lots of starlings!!
