Run Away Birds!

I was experimenting with soft ground etching and chine colle, creating this little etching. I love the effects you can get. There are some very pretty papers - I am so tempted to buy everything I see!! The one I used here for the chine colle background is a Japanese paper called "Chiri".
3" x 5"

  4. You are right. Les formes des poissons sont des papiers, aussi de chine colle.

  5. I appreciate the material,
    the shape of animals and their behavior
    in this shifted framework ...

  6. There are some interesting materials to use in etching. And a lot of room for experimentation!

    Maybe they are running from a fox!
