parrots


Parrots are a feature here at the moment.  The Southbank Arts Trail is coming up this weekend in Bristol and the theme is Pirates and Parrots.   Paper Village, our local arts/craft/everything shop, has been running Parrot making workshops for the last few weeks so that we will all be fully kitted out ready.   

We had to have a go at parrot making, they are so colourful and fabulous.  The person in the family who has a summer birthday (and whose friends are always away on holiday) decided that parrot making would be a great way to spend an 'un-birthday', so we gathered together a group of parrot fans and off we went.  A large flock of multi-coloured parrots took shape.

The parrot who came home with us has spent the last week sitting on a glass egg and after much discussion on the length of sitting time required to hatch a parrots egg, we have discovered that it is only 7 days after all.

The parrots are breeding...

lovely lino





 A happy weekend spent lino printing at Paper Village in Bristol with such fantastic results and lots of enthusiasam from all the participants!  Some people were very creative already, others claimed to be unable to even draw, but everybody got stuck in and we were all pretty impressed and even amazed with the prints by the end...




...a huge range of different inspirations and isn't lino just the best technique ever?  I love it, had you noticed...
