I’d created this tiger collage a while ago for my Then There Were None project, but decided to use the Illustration Friday topic this week to play with creating a collage environment for him to live in.

Illustration Friday: Duet
I haven’t participated in an Illustration Friday challenge for ages but thought this hand embellished lino block print that I printed up last week for a friend who is about to have her first baby was perfect for this weeks topic: Duet
Really hoping to find time to participate more often in IF from now on.
BBC Wildlife Artist Of The Year 2011 Entry
This year I decided to enter the BBC Wildlife Artist Of The Year 2011 competition in part as a way to force myself to try a collage on a slightly larger scale. I chose the ‘British Birds’ category and one of my favourite birds of prey – the majestic Golden Eagle.
It was a refreshing change working with larger pieces of paper and being bolder in my cuts as well as trying a few new materials like tissue paper – the only problem was finding enough large magazine clippings in the right colour range to work with.
The final piece measures 600x300mm – here’s a little sneak peek of the final collage (we aren’t allowed to show the full images until after the competition). I should hear by 30th April if I’ve made it through the first round of judging – wish me luck.
