Elusive. They are aren’t they. We are so lucky to have made effort to maintain pockets of populations of red squirrels in the UK. I saw my first on Brownsea Island in my 20’s. It wasn’t until 30 years later I saw red squirrels again, this time in Scotland.
This original design of mixed media artwork is a collagraph print (produced off a plate through a printing press), with 24 ct gold leaf and acrylic paints.

I started this little piece using some sturdy packaging left from Christmas! The miniature artworks are made the same way a collagraph plate using a variety of materials sealed onto a mountboard backing with the addition of gold liquid leaf.
Now available from my shop just click the link for more details.
It is so difficult to photograph gold and textural art and convey it’s lustrous detail in a snapshot. But it has to be done!
I am focusing here on mini plates, I like their individual quality as object and am trying to figure out how to use them as pieces of art in themselves.
