Had a litlle break from the hares today and cut out some dog silhouettes from lino. I worked for about 5 hours solid until the middle finger on my left hand (I'm left handed) went completely numb! Not good.
Time for a break, so the dogs and I went for a walk in the woods. The wind had been really strong and one of the big old trees had snapped about 15 feet up, the top half crashing onto the path. I am very glad we were not there at the time! The dogs loved sniffing about among the branches whilst I hopped over it to continue the walk, battling against the wind. It was great fun and certainly blew away the cobwebs.
Today I succumbed to printing more of the hares, but then started to play with the dog outlines. I printed them all on one sheet just to see how they worked. Then I started to work out which went together, making little compositions. I do plan to make a large print with all or most of them and probably include some street elements - definitely a lamp post or two! Anyway here are my first proofs.... The photos have come out a bit blue as I took them in natural light in the evening.
