After spending a week at Geelong teaching monoprinting, I was determined to not pack away my inks but set up my print studio and have some fun with my little Xcut Xpress machine.
I dug out my favourite wren stencils and got to work....

| Inked plate and objects ready to print on the bed of my Xcut machine. |
 |
| Revealing the print after printing. I used tinted Stonehenge, dampened and torn to size to print as bleed prints. |
 |
| My ink stations - printing on my own means I need to chose my colours carefully as I only put out three colours. Less to clean up at the end of the day. |
 |
| A feather print in progress, just for something different! |
 |
| One of the successful prints, but not every print works. I used my favourite Kangaroo Grass in this series, I love its feathering appearance. |
 |
| Another of my favourite wrens. The pattern at the bottom was from some mesh that was gifted to me - a real treasure! |
 |
| I had to trace around the outline of this wren after the print was dry to make him stand out a bit more. |
