One More to Go.

Down to number two, 2 Pink Galahs. It was quite a challenge to get the pink colour onto the birds as well as the brown branch that they are perched on and the grey wings etc. I ended up stamping the birds onto scrap paper, and making a couple of stencils, one for the branch and one for the breasts of the birds. The wings and tail were stamped in grey, then the branch through the first stencil and then the fronts of the birds through the second stencil. Since each picture is only 15 cm x 21 cm in size, the slightly misaligned stamps are not really visible. One more to go, the Emu in a Gum Tree !
