Angels & Folk Birds for Folka

Making angel and folk bird decorations has been keeping me busy lately! The angels are screen printed in bronze and teal on kraft recycled card. Each angel is made of three screen printed sheets of card so I need to print sixty angels just to make twenty finished decorations. Once the ink is dry the prints are folded down the middle, glued together and then every angel is cut out by hand. It's alot of work but after years of practice it gets easier and I can make about twenty angels in eight hours! Recently I've also been printing gold and green angels aswell as more folk birds. The birds are made from one sheet of kraft card screen printed in blue and metallic green on one side and then metallic green on the other side. As soon as the ink is dry they're glued together, cut out by hand & threaded ready to hang.

These decorations are now on the way to Folka in London. You can find out more about the shop and the hand made work it sells here https://www.folka.co/
