In our Backyard an International Print Exchange by the Castlemaine Press invites printmakers to create a series of ten prints 12X12cm on this theme and post them after payment and registration to them in exchange for a series of prints that will come back from printmakers both in Australia and overseas.
Enjoyed mixing it up with a very small hand made stencil of the bird, drypoint on acetate and hand colouring the results were fun and different.
These exchanges are great because they help to build up connections with other printmakers and a beautiful collection of many varied prints from artists Australia wide and overseas.
