Week 10 Animal*

Sometimes the categories are so broad it's hard to know where to start - it's a little less broad than last week though!
So we have two smiling animals and one that makes me smile:
a quokka that my son took a photo of when he visited Rotness Island near Perth - they can't stop smiling
a goat and 
an elephant

Week 6: Printing*

I got a bit carried away this week and still didn't manage to do a mono print or a lino cut!


Here are my three offerings, most recent first.

I was expecting to end up with a duo-tone image, with smooth edges, so that it would look a bit like a labyrinth. However I like it like this - a bit less polished, like me.
I took a photo of an ordinary ink pad thumb print and edited it on photoshop.


**and it was in the #illo52weeks picks - can't believe it!

The wall paper designs are based on some of my patterns :)


One day, I will see some of my work on fabric or paper, I hope.


Well, the theme is printing - why not go literal?
