A birds footprints

I took this picture after christmas on my phone and decided to upload it since Hansel and Gretel fairytale talks about leaving trails and I thought about footprints for my idea on monoprints which is about logging what's on a forest floor.

Monoprinting bark?

I wanted to try printing tree bark since it has a closer link to my paper forest idea. I didn't know if it would work or not and to me it didn't really but the backside of the print you can tell much better what it is and I preferred it.
I also like the printing plate so snapped an image of it before I washed it.

Papercutting tree

This an image of a paper cut tree I did while I like papercutting I don't think I will do anymore as I should have all I need and I just need to make my paper forest.
I enjoyed doing it but it can be time consuming. I'm happy with the out come and if I did it again I think I want to do a bigger one, like an A0 tree or something.


Monoprintint feathers

Last week I monoprinted some on my zebra finches feathers. I did this because they're many types of birds mentioned in Grimm's fairytales and some rather small.
I'm quite happy with the outcome of it and this is the plate I used. I will upload the print later

Using my phone to blog

I don't really use my blog to much but will a bit more now I have the app on my phone but the images probs won't be as good and I'll try not to write in text language but might slip up here and there.

Bits and bobs

I've taken a lot of pictures recently and thought I would upload one. I plan on doing some monoprints of feathers and leafs in the near future hopefully on a Wednesday. I should only need two hour or so on it and then it’s one less thing on my ever growing list.

Strenghts and weakness

This is about my strengths on the processing idea’s project. I think were coming up with several different ideas. I also think experimenting with different media’s.

I think not planning everything out was a weakness. It would have been easier to keep track if I had. Another is having too many things on the go at once I should have finished one thing before starting a new task.
