Time for Tea!

What is my ultimate 'art fuel'? TEA!

On Thursday I had some time off my my busy course module, so I decided to brush up on my screen printing skills! I printed a very simple drawing of a teacup and only used two colours per print but I'm starting to get the hang of the process again after only doing it once before some time ago.
Watch out for lots more prints coming this way as I begin to get the hang of it again!

N.B. Commissioned prints for yourself or gifts for others are always more than welcome.

Masana!

I came across these forgotten prints today and thought I would share them. I entitled the prints 'Masana' which means 'morning' in Chichewa, the local language spoken in Malawi, Africa. The scene of the goat, huge boabab tree and hut reminds me of the sun rising across an African landscape, cool before the blazing sun arrives at noon, and quiet, with only a cockerel crowing and the occasional chirping of a cricket before the bustle of the day begins.
I'll be honest and say that I did actually forget that the image appears in reverse when printed (rookie mistake) but THANKFULLY not before I wrote the title underneath; that would have been unfortunate!
