I have started printing these on to Somerset Satin paper (300gsm) and am going to print a small edition.
I made a stamp with the "hope is the thing with feathers..." text. This was done as for my book Nestbuilding Perils & Pleasures by typing the text on a typewriter, scanning it, enlarging it, printing the enlarged text, going over it with pencil and transferring this text on to the rubber by going over the back of the paper with pencil.
Love how you made this, you do wonders with the carving material and tools!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards too.
kind regards, Dymphie
I LOVE these... they are just beautiful x
ReplyDeleteThanks Dymphie and Kathryn. I am very attached to these birds too :-)
ReplyDeleteI love those little birdies!
ReplyDeleteThey are just beautiful. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ronnie & Elephant's Child. They were 'unemployed' for a while after I finished the book so I decided to put them to work again :-) I thought it was a shame that they were just used for the edition and then just left to one side. I still can't explain it, but I have a very strong emotional attachment to them.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fantastic! Such a lovely symbol and so well applied. Your carving is amazing. I'm off to peruse the rest of your blog. Happy to have found you.
