On any walk on the beach I pick things up, sometimes more actively than others. On my long walk last weekend I just collected feathers.
I've experimented with printing from these, having turned some of them into a collagraph plate. Their solid shafts mean that there is quite a difference in heights on the plate so a relief print using just rollered ink is patchy, but I love that uncertainty about what will print and what won't.
I have hundreds of feathers l have collected on many walks. l also print and paint with them. love your work here. lynda x
