Retro kids book - I Know an Old Lady

Found this gem of a children's book last week on one of my many trips to village fayres. Some brilliant illustrations in it by Abner Graboff, was born in 1919, to two Russian immigrants living in New Jersey. I love his quirky pictures! The book was first published in 1961.

The Goat is looking suspicious

I love that she has a house in her tummy!

Owl collaged screen print - V&A museum paper

I've used my much loved Caslon Owl (see older post) design for some screen prints, some are screen printed with three colours. My favourite however are my collaged versions, where I made the body background design from various different paper stocks, and then I screen printed the Caslon bit (the letters which make up the body) in black paint on the top.

I'm really pleased with the results, I did four different versions with different papers so watch this space, more to come!
