Something very exciting had the potential to happen soon but I am of the feeling that opportunities are like wolves, I'm not going to believe its arrived until it's jaws ate firmly wrapped around my head.
So, I will just say three things,
prints
pets
Singapore
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Basically I am doing a new set of prints so here is the first in the run. My koi carp (plural).
This shows a bit of the stages of the process as well and my messy nest of a table.
The paper print out cut-and-stick version, the tracing, the lino and the ink print.
I make a lot of different mark making decisions made at each stage.
The initial black and white print.
The first inking of the koi
Addition of water so the fishies can swim
Colour version two.
Orange Koi
Koi Carp symbolise change traditionally so I am going to give one of the Koi to my friend Silvia, as she is expecting her first child next year. The koi also look like a mummy and baby Koi which is fortunate, I am hoping the koi will be a good luck omen for her ready for the biggest change in her life.
There are very exciting things going on later in the week so I shall be blogging some lovely things shorty.
That's all for now though,
Love and Peas
