Resting Pelican #2 (Collagraph of Bird)


I created two larger versions of this pelican several years ago.
Due to their popularity I thought I would try to compose a smaller
version of this guy.  I did some experimenting with the background
and am still doing so.  This is how one of the first ones turned out.
My husband liked the plate as it was so I thought I would include
it in this post.

Original hand-pulled, textured, 
green, alizarin crimson, orange, yellow, collograph of a resting pelican.
Image Size: 6" x 9" (15.2 cm x 22.9 cm).

Wacky Cat #1 - Hand-Pulled Collagraph

I recently found a recipe in "Cook's Country" called Wacky Cake.  
It is quite simple and surprisingly quite good.  
When I started working on this cat I thought the name 
Wacky Cat seemed appropriate.  
I am still experimenting with color variations.
