It's Giving Tuesday & this year I have 2 prints that helped raise funds...
Piping Plover raised $260 for Great Lakes Piping Plover Recovery Effort
Yellow-Tufted Dacnis raised $100 for Rainforest Trust (w/a lifetime donation of $1306!)

Thanks everyone for making this happen- you all ROCK!

Picture of a piping plover bird standing on the beach. in the upper left corner is a text box showing a donation of $260 was made. The header is for the Great Lakes Piping Plovers organization A linocut print of a sandy colored piping plover standing in front of a light blue circle with a woodgrain texture. On the left: Picture of an elephant family with the following text below: Triple Your Impact For Wildlife In the DRC Elephants, okapi, chimpanzees, and pangolins once roamed freely through the vast rainforests of the Congo Basin. Today, their forest home is vanishing at an alarming rate. This Giving Tuesday, every $1 you donate will be matched by $2—protecting 316,000 acres of rainforest habitat in the biodiverse Congo. Your gift to Rainforest Trust today makes a tangible difference in the fight to save species, care for communities, and protect our planet. Thank you for your support! The box on the left side reads: (celebration emoji) Thanks for your support Christine! You've made a $104.90 USD donation A linocut print of a turquoise, black and yellow tropical bird called a yellow-tufted dacnis perched on a tan branch. It is facing two magenta colored circles.

I finally put my Vandercook 325G to use on an editioned print for the 1st time! She worked great- I printed over 100 sheets in no time at all.

This press has a much larger print bed, so I can print large sheets of paper, but it takes way more 💪🏼 to move the carriage back & forth!

Here's a closer look at some of my new framed mini birds! Frames are deep enough they can stand on a shelf or hang on the wall.

Believe it or not, I chose this shelf at random for my photoshoot. lol

I'm realizing I never posted my finished murmuration prints! The backgrounds are one-of-a-kind monotypes, the murmuration is 4 layers of metal type. I asked my friends their favorite swear words then "hid" them in there 🙂

I don't need a calendar to know it's spring... I just wait for the robins and red-wing blackbirds to show up!

What are your favorite signs of spring?

I'm finally working on an idea I've had for 5 yrs! I'm recreating a murmuration using spent type (like in my crow print). Pictured are 2 (out of 4) of the forms I'm using & a few monotypes I've started printing on. Yay!
