Happy New Year

"Shoal Of Fish"

I am sharing a photo of a framed monoprint that I sold on New Years Eve to Mr & Mrs Lewis from Bath who were visiting St Ives to see in the New Year.

The evening remained dry for all the revellers and the fireworks at midnight were amazing. St Ives on New Years Eve is truly a magical place! Best of luck to all self-employed artists and small business owners in 2013. Happy New Year, love Melanie x

Here are the Filigree Fish monoprints in various stages of completion down on the drying racks at the Porthmeor Print Studio earlier this year. Many of these have been framed and sold over the busy summer season, I think I have managed to take a quick photo of them at the point of sale as a record! 

I'm so pleased with the way this little series of prints has been received 

as I thoroughly enjoyed making them.

Filigree Fish

I've been thinking of a new symbol to cut into my lino-block, something to compliment the filigree heart I have been working with for a couple of years now. I think I have found it in these gorgeous little fish charms, hope to incorporate them into some monoprints I made yesterday at the Porthmeor Print Workshop.
