Inking up & printing form number 2 out of 4 of my murmuration print!

A cheerful American Robin with its beak open in front of a teal colored circle.

I don't need a calendar to know it's spring... I just wait for the robins and red-wing blackbirds to show up!

What are your favorite signs of spring?

Drying rack with several colorful partially finished prints spread out on it.

I'm finally working on an idea I've had for 5 yrs! I'm recreating a murmuration using spent type (like in my crow print). Pictured are 2 (out of 4) of the forms I'm using & a few monotypes I've started printing on. Yay!

Oh hey, look what I re-printed last week! Having these large original prints back in stock is like having a friend return from a long vacation.

Rise & Shine my friends ❤️

I would love to be added too!

Same printing process as Hatch! (they were partial inspiration)

I can see why it’s a favorite, it’s beautiful 🖤

Thanks! I’m not a morning person, so I tried to make something that would motivate me to get up 😂

I feel the same, and I love seeing what everyone else is doing. So inspiring!

Just like my brain can’t keep up with knowing when I’m full - I never realize it until it’s too late. 🫨

By far, my most popular print. I’ve made many versions of this over the years. I’m sold out of the original print, but I have reproductions online!
