Oiseau du jour...

This weekend seemed to be open studio and workshop weekend, with lots of designer-makers flinging open their doors to the public to allow them to peruse beautiful delights, just in time for the festive gift giving season...

I attended the Christmas Open Studios at Cockpit Arts, Holborn. Whilst there, I stumbled across these stunning screen-prints by Fanny Shorter. With her keen interest in biology, drawing particularly on the systems and patterns that exist within anatomy and botany, Fanny has created a series of prints based around the World's Smallest Birds. All the prints in the series are to scale, measuring approximately 10cm x 10cm. The intricate detailing and fine pattern that go into each little colourful feather make it really tricky to choose a favourite!    





















All prints are available to be purchased at boxbird... or here
