I printed my kite linocut on watercolour (without cyanotype*) and collaged Japanese papers too!

*previous (and future planned iterations of this print) are made on cyanotypes of a cloudy sky

I made a second cyanotype of a cloudy sky printed with my Lino block with several different kites and wind socks. Then I printed my block on various beautiful patterned and coloured Japanese washi papers, and collaged them on my image. I did a little embellishment with Posca pen.

The koï-shaped wind socks are traditionally flown in Japan on Children’s Day, May 5.

I felt my cyanotype of a cloudy sky needed more, so I carved a Lino block with several different kites and wind socks and printed it in hill ink over the cyanotype. Then I printed my block on various beautiful patterned and coloured Japanese washi papers, and collaged them on my image. I did a little embellishment with Posca pen. I’m planning a series of these prints.

These flying fish are new on my bike ride to work. A string of fantastic fish-themed wind socks fly on a power pole in the middle of farmland south of Lincoln, NZ.

These little things really brighten up a place, plus it's always windy here.

I've learned that they're #koinobori, 'carp streamer' in Japanese. They even have an emoji: 🎏

Wikipedia says koinobori were "originally exclusive to samurai households". Perhaps a samurai dairy farmer has arrived.
