I finally got round to printing the galah stencil I made from the museum drawings from last week. I wanted to add some pink to it and so printed a circle of print first and then the black galah over the top. I've mounted it onto a canvas frame that is 40cm by 40cm and it is printed onto a thick white canvas.
I've got 3 more birds including a huge lyrebird to cut out for some more prints which I will be stretching onto canvas frames. I want to do some that are multicoloured prints specifically for stretching to hang as artworks. I will be taking the new stretched fabrics to Rose Street this Saturday, the weather is going to be pretty horrid with wind and rain so I am hoping that the reports are all wrong and it is sunny and warm with no wind. Cross your fingers!

I have learned that I block things from my memory and, pop, I see things and they're back. I cut a screen for a Girl Guide badge design of a galah years and years ago. I remember the unit out past Dubbo was still using it because I saw a girl wearing the design years later. I must see whether I kept the original. I cut it out of the plastic used to divide paper in ringbinder folders. Worked a treat. Was only about 20cm deep too. I must have had a lot of patience for cutting fine lines back then. Your galah looks great. I like the pink circle. Exactly the right colour.
It looks great!
The circle of pink is very cool and very different. It will sell.
Sigh, sunny and warm! Good luck though..
I love the sharpness in the lines of the stencil as compared to the soft, subtle tone of the pink.. it's great!
This looks fab, you really have your own style going on!
