I like birds with long legs"
I like birds with long legs"
Thank you, Discerning Admirer - just as well you do have a bird with long legs!
So, this week I did some more monoprints, and this time I used the press. I wanted to continue to explore similar images to last week, and see the difference. They're rather faint...or should I say subtle! (click on the images to make them larger...and clearer!)
I think I prefer the simpler ones from last week, not least because I like a white background, but these are growing on me. And what is it that's so appealing about washing on a line? There's a washing line a short walk up the road from me that consistently has an entire line of socks, or pink football shirts, or black pairs of shorts. Love that symmetry and repetition.

Oh dear... K x
I think you are on to something with the monoprints: they look like really cool designs for ceramic tiles, just the sort of decoration need to brighten up a kitchen or laudry room.
There IS something about washing lines isn't there? I particularly like them when they are full of gleaming white nappies and baby clothes (though WHY!!!). Happy Bank Holiday weekend Diana xx

Hello
Well done you for putting your art 'out there' as they say, Im very impressed, especially with your first monoprints - Ive had a go at this myself and I love the fact that what you're getting is a totally unique image! I cant wait to see what else you do, Id love to see your little long leggy bird print on cards, they'd be brilliant!!
Sending love and lots of creative energy to you (not that you need it though ;-)

I wonder whether recent generations will grow up loving washing lines as we do. So many use whirlgigs now. I remember as a child, Mum pegging out the washing on two long lines, and then propping up with clothes props. x
