I've decided to re-vamp my bridbird etsy shop. New banner, new avatar and a new range of brooches!
These brooches are made using my print gocco kit. The bird bodies are screen printed from one screen and then the bird wings are screenprinted from a second screen registered over the first. This enables me to get the different colours close by each other. I then fix the printed images onto thick artist's mounting board card, Cut out the shapes with a scalpel and then paint a number of coats of varnish on both sides. A brooch back is then affixed and they are ready to wear! I like the colours of these birds and I enjoyed making the different patterns in the wings. I am also listing the full 8 birds as a gocco screenprinted picture, to frame up and put on your wall!

Gotta love art you can wear!
Oohh they are gorgeous good!!
Can you believe I read your comment on Thursday and realised I haven't seen your name before and then on Friday I received an invitation from the Australian Print Workshop Gallery and I spotted your name and made the connection straight away!!
It's a small, serendipitous world!
These are really sweet Bridget. They must have been fun to make. I have read about gocco machines but I thought they had stopped making all the supplies etc? The new shop banner looks great btw.
