displacement activities

I'm busy carving out a big lino block at the moment (big by my standards, not 4 meters square or anything astonishing like that) and so I am on the lookout for other things to do instead...like carving other smaller bits of lino.

This is a little picture of Bath (but you'll have to look at it in a mirror at the moment) which I am not going to print until I have finished the big lino block, even though I'm itching to see how it looks and think a bit of tweaking may be needed in the area in front of the Abbey...

birds, birds, birds

Despite my best efforts I do always end up doing more prints of birds than anything else...how does it happen?

obviously the above are all regular visitors to my tiny urban back garden...

In other bird news, yesterday was bath day for the quails (sand bath that is...) and I cannot show with photos just how much they love it - ruffling and fluffling away, they all dive in and end up with legs and wings in all directions, looking scruffier than ever - but when they emerge, what beautiful sleek ladies they have become!!

 And they all know it too!
