It was Mr P's birthday at the weekend. He's a good man. He encourages my creativity and likes the stuff I make. So I thought I'd reward him by giving him the most sinister thing I could make.
Well, not really. Mr P loves outsider and weird music, and who's weirder than
Tiny Tim?!
The portrait of Tim is a 2 colour linocut. Instead of doing a reduction linocut, I cut two different bits of lino with the relevent colours. So I can make more portraits of Tim as public demand allows!
The tulips are made of felt, and I appliqued them on with just a few stab stitches in a metalic thread, which I also used to highlight the ukelele strings and for a little back-stitch border.
Mr P likes his present, although we've agreed it makes Tiny Tim look even more sinister than usual. Result!
