Christmas Market

Thanks to everyone who came by the Christmas market on Saturday! Great seeing my prints going off to new homes and chatting to people about my work. Met some great new makers and bakers on the day too.

My stall was next to a large pile of extremely tempting delights by cake of dreams. Definitely worth checking out if you're in need of any birthday/wedding cakes or yummy things. www.cakeofdreams.co.uk

The genius part of selling prints - the whole stall fits in a bag and a trundly. Selling my vases before was at least a three man and taxi job. 

An evening with Mr Fox (Printing the Fox.)

Printed the fox this evening. Got to the studio at 5, left at 10:30 home by 11.

 I keep doing this - putting ink on the screen when your still surrounded by choas is not a good idea.
Also notice scarface - screen sratch above his eye.  Ink printed through without any issue though.

 Colour blend - orange to red

Yellow eyes added. 

Black was bit tricky to print, turned out a pretty mean looking thunder cloud.

Black transformed cute fluffy colour blend layer to one cross looking fox.

Final print.

Midnight foxes.

Came home after day of printing final Wee Bird colours with a head full of foxes, specifically a cluster of foxes. Whipped up the fastest dinner that I know how to cook that doesn't come out of a plastic container and got busy with a pencil.

At this point I realised I was too tired to produce any more foxes and these too looked a bit awkward together. I decided to bin the slightly more boring one and stuck it in the spare fox box.   

Started playing around with halftone for the first time.

2:30am - At this point I stopped and crawled into bed, about to turn the light off I realised lines were upside down and fox needs gradient.

Woke up late, tried fox with blue and then black and blue .

and then decided to stick with black.

Final composition - 3 layers with 1 colour blend.
