Pigeons and small birds feeding on berries surrounded by flowers. 

Suitable for framing and the paper crafts - bookbinding, box covering and lining.

Made By J&J Jeffery

This extraordinary print is made from a hand cut lino block, repeat printed, in blue ink and each of the other blue tones added by hand on antique handmade ledger paper - the hand written entries visible through the print.

Relief printing is where a printing block or plate has ink applied to its non-recessed surface which is brought into contact with paper. When pressure is applied, the non-recessed surface will leave ink on the paper, whereas the recessed areas will not. 

Stencilling - A stencil is made by cutting out the required shapes in a heavy oiled cardstock to match the area where added colour is desired. An translucent ink is dabbed over the hole in the stencil leaving the colour making a multiple coloured, highly decorative print. 

In this instance, multiple stencils were made to apply the extra colours to the main black print colour.
