Finally got around to publishing the poster....long after the event has taken place - but there were other posters on the day fortunately. This one - in the end - has been finished off in Word, using the lino print as a starting point.

Happy Diversions
Some how several weeks have gone by and it does not appear to have been spent in painting...but it has given me a chance to play with Lino once more. Our Year are putting together a catalogue and it is very close to crunch time; that is the time when all the images need to be in at the printers. We have had two different themes - long story - but it has made me print out two pictures, make a logo and sometime soon a self portrait.

Superstitions. It is good fortune to cut your hair by the light of a New Moon. |
Duck! Sadly I am not allowed to use this as my self portrait. |

'Where Do I Live?' cards update.
Hi, just thought I'd show these small creatures who are (probably) finished and in their homes. The last little bit of painting went on for days which was more to do with distractions, then hours of fine painting work being lavished on them Something the photograph cannot show is how nice they are to pick up and handle which may sound a little odd but they were partly made with the idea of being made into a simple educational game for children to fit the right animal to it's favoured habitat. This needs more work as just four animals does not create much of a challenge! I also have to consider whether the animals faces should be completely free floating and complete within the circle, like the hedgehog or have some of the background included, as with the otter...ermm will be pondering more on that. Anyway, there they are!

Working on the Screen
The outline. I think this could still be worked on before it's cut out. Most of the interest is in the painting, but looking at just the shape I think I could make it bolder. |
The Tree Screen. I will leave any judgement until it is cut out and then painted. |

A Little Bit More.

Not only, but also...
Have also been working on small furry critters. They are to make a card set - though at this point it will only be a prototype of four-with the idea of 'Where do they live?' ...fitting the animals into their correct habitat.
Far from finished, but the start of the Water Vole and the Common Otter. |
