Festive flock

Hot off the press and just in time for this year’s holiday season, I’m proud to present a mini flock of letterpress bird ornaments!

Just like the larger prints in my Flock series, each one of these is printed from a hand-carved linoleum block.

Then each was individually hand-painted with watercolor (which, I’m not afraid to tell you, is painstaking in the extreme!),

and then hand-cut, hand-assembled, and signed/dated.

There are six songbirds in the set—a northern cardinal,

a black-capped chickadee (you might recognize him from our Thanksgiving table!),

a chipping sparrow,

a common yellowthroat,

a dark-eyed junco,

and a mountain bluebird.

Here’s the catch: they are extremely limited-edition. I only printed 100 sets, so once they’re gone, they’re gone. So flap on over to the shop and pick up your set before they fly away for good.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to deck some halls!
