I went on a walk later yesterday afternoon looking for ivy leaves....I didn't want to make an image with ivy in it and get it wrong!
But I saw a beautiful sight...
Spiders' webs!!
And starlings beginning to gather before they roost
Then I got down to the job...which bit by bit I finished today...
I'll stick to just the two designs...
Nothing produced, as there was a meeting of the artists' collective this evening.
Meeting a couple of new members...and finding out who will be moving on at the end of the year. Sorting Xmas opening...
And the first time for a long time that I have driven home in the dark!!

Sweet robin singing in the ivy!
I really like that design, gz. The webs are kind of creepy to me. So thick!
That Robin is just gorgeous! You did a great job with that. I love it with the water color. I think it is my favorite of your prints. I have never in my life seen anything like those spider webs! I can't get over the sheer size of them. So what kind of spider makes this web and how do they get from one shrub to another???
I think they are there all the time...and the webs are.over slightly longer grassland. The sheep hadn't been in the field for a few days to disturb them as well
Just think how many midgies they are catching!! Not thick, just gossamer fine
It is a long time since I have seen such a mass of spider's webs as that. Great photo. Love your little Robin too. I would love to learn how to do lino cutting . . .
The spiders' webs on the grass makes such a wonderfully typical autumn scene. A great photo.
We’re just at that lovely stage of thinking- oh it’s 7pm and we haven’t needed the light on. Days are getting longer….just wish it would get warmer.
I also wondered at the food source for so many spiders! Glad they are balancing out nature somehow. Love your art!!
I've never seen a massive spider web like the one in your photo. Did you see any spiders? The web had to be the work of many spiders.
Lovely new print.
Yes, very many spiders!
wow those spider webs are freaky but cool!
Great spider webs - i like the idea they are like set nets to scoop up midges. Your new print went well - i like it as well without paint as with it - two styles
I think that I will do an almost paint free version..in itself it is version #2 as the original was a wren....which fewer people would pick up on as being relevant to the winter celebration...I could return to that
Fabulous photo of the spider webs - you caught it really well! (I understand that spiders 'balloon' like this if the ground is too wet - or something???) And I love your print as well - it looks like you got the Ivy just right!
It was rather wet..
Thanks...such a simple shape but deceptively difficult!
