Inking up and printing the Horsfield’s Bronze Cuckoo. Did you know this inking up process has to be repeated for every print in the edition? That’s why they are referred to as ‘original prints’, because each one is individual and made by hand! This piece will be available next week in a small edition. #printmaking #australianbirds #birdart #drypoint #womenprintmakers #australianprintmaker | Bridget Farmer Printmaker

Making a new drypoint plate yesterday. I’ll try and print it today although weird things were happening yesterday when I tried to proof it. Good old printmaking mysteries. Wish me luck! #printmaking #drypoint#bridgetfarmer #birdart #printmaker | Bridget Farmer Printmaker

A little video of making my new plate and proofing it. Featuring the flock of yellow plumed honeyeaters I photographed while in the mallee desert up in Hattah a few months ago. They were by far the most numerous bird we saw and they were so fun chasing each other around. #yellowplumedhoneyeaters #drypoint #drypointetching #printmaking #printmaker #birdart | Bridget Farmer Printmaker
