Black-capped Chickadee on Orange #1 (original collagraph of bird)


If you are interested in more background information on this piece please read the information provided with the black and white version in the preceding post. Since I created a new plate for the black and white version I couldn't stop there.  I started with a yellow background and then created another plate to print an orange texture on top of the yellow. I found the orange to be a bit much so I created another plate and printed a yellow texture on top of the orange.
Image size is 6" x 9"
Paper size is 8.25" x 11"

Black-capped Chickadee #2 (original black and white bird collagraph)


A number of years ago I created two color versions of a chickadee. The original background was blue and later I experimented with a green background. Recently one of my clients requested a black and white version. As a result I decided to create a new plate using some old and new textures in the hopes that the black and white version would stand on its own.

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).
