Print Thinking

In my last post I mentioned I was thinking about getting some prints for my etsy shop, well I've been having a look around and getting a few quotes through and I think I am going to get a small batch made of a few designs in sizes A6, A5 and A4. I've been creating some new work lately with prints in mind and been experimenting with adding new animals and creatures along with my little ladies.

I think having some prints in my shop could be a huge help for me. I'd like to find some popular prints then spend a bit more of my time on experimental work and also I've not submitted any work anywhere for a while- either through projects, zines or exhibitions- this is something I'd like to turn my attention to again.

One of the things you might see appearing in my work here and there are swallows. At work at the weekend we had two swallows get into the roof of the castle and as you went up to the top you could see them so clearly - they were so beautiful together, I've been sketching a few in my sketchbook. I hope they managed to get them out okay as there were about six people trying to chase them when I left for the day!

This is a page from my sketchbook but I have started to experiment with painting them as well. I'll let you know how things progress very soon.
