 Fantastic - I have poetry, and literary and operatic fingerpuppet greetings cards in this event!

Ampersand - holly and ivy

Here is holly and ivy. I feel red is a little too vibrant, so will reprint with green, and put little red dots for the holly berries. I like the Santa hat though, in green it will look more like an elf.

I propped the linocut up on the laptop to take the photo, and really like the strip of  blue screen at the top of the image.

The Forest King Appears

 

 

 

 

 The Forest King, silhouetted against the trees in his domain.

The rusted iron of an old ornate fence post.

The handle of a giant's sword.

A Forest of Elf Hats

I made 18 elf hats. I realised if I stood them all up, and then lay down to photograph them, they would look like a winter forest.

This photo is the forest from the air

Ampersand - then and now

Another lino cut ampersand, providing the link between past and present.  I am pleased with the headscarf!

Dealing with loss 2

              I have been looking for a way to present haiku, and feel that a lino cut image might be it.
