I'M SOOOOO! EXCITED

They're here! tickets to the Country Living Fair Yay! I can't wait, counting down the days............



MONDAY ART CLUB- MONOPRINTING

I love Mondays, Oliver and Tyler and I get down and dirty with cartridge paper, paint and rollers (no not the hair type) I decided this week to concentrate on Monoprinting.

Flowers and birds in a DIY pink were the order of the day from Tyler, very pretty!


Oliver decided on funky bullrushes printed in yukky green (his words not mine) aptly named don't you think?
I am very proud of them and they really enjoyed the session,both pictures will be framed and hung on the wall for all to see.
Whilst doing a bit of research for monoprinting I stumbled across the site of Martha Marshall a very talented lady I think you'll agree.................and when the boys went to bed I decided to have ago at a layered monoprint, bearing in mind I used block printing inks it took ages to wait for each colour to dry before adding the next, but hey ho I was enjoying myself and getting to bed at 12pm isn't that bad? Well anyway here is the result.................
.................it somehow turned into a landscape? Not bad for a first attempt.

Gorgeous printing. I'm so jealous you got to go to that fair too - nothing like that down here in bottom of the world land.

Sorry to be so late in commenting. I just discovered your link to my blog, and want to thank you! I can't wait to read the rest of yours. I see you're an Etsian too.

Best to you,
