Raku hawk

I loved the image and the colours at Color Throwdown this week: it reminded me of raku (which the contestants in TV’s “The Great Pottery Throwdown” tried last week!). I immediately knew what I wanted to create. It took a bit of tinkering, though.

The stamp is Inkadinkadoo Delicate Branches. The blue and green inks are Colorbox metallic and there’s a beautiful sheeny sparkle on them that I haven’t really been able to catch with the camera. Here’s a close-up attempt. Shame that half the Colorbox inks have dried out. Not sure why. The ones I wanted to use happily are still juicy. And chestnut roan chalk ink.

And the haiku:

Fly high my great hawk
Light sparkling on your wide wings
Take strength from the sun
