Pigeons, pigeons everywhere! They love to hang out in gangs on my roof terrace and coo together, tormenting us early in the morning. I enjoy watching their rituals and hilarious mating dance.
Much to most people's disgust, I really like pigeons and think they are quite beautiful. They tend to carelessly shed their feathers around so I've pinched a few to take some prints from.
Inking up the actual feather works best I find. Here I have simply rubbed the paper over the inky feather to produce a light, embossed transfer.
Below is where I tried rolling an inked up roller over top of the feather (under paper). It hasn't worked how I wanted but creates some interesting marks instead.
You do realise that I'm taking notes for next year's class .... xxx
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you like pigeons so do I. They get such wicked press, yet they are really harmless and sweet unlike the well loved robin, and they mate for life too.
