It's the eyes, on both people and birds that I enjoy, that pin the portrait . . .
Next step with the Stuart image: finally girded the loins and put the text on: after playing with different sizes, working out the layout and a few tweaks with the words themselves. It doesn't, in the final version, cover quite as much of the image as I'd planned/hoped, but at least most of the lines are straight, the writing around the same size and no misspellings or words missed out that I can see. I'm almost tempted to create another three paragraph text to create an inner frame . . . plenty of time now that we've negotiated a show for Sept 2017 (same time as the Desert Mob Marketplace weekend), so all good!
The first of the finished ones . . .
Playing with tiny lino carves (15cm square) so see how far I can push it both with the carving of detail and then printing
