Golden Oriole Postcard

The vintage bird is an image from the Naturalist Library Book the text and stamps from a vintage postcard and the background is one of my screen print patterns. 

Tiger and Lion

Two more altered images from the Naturalist's Library.

The top one was just altered with wire, craft wire, it really is that colour.

The textured background below was a photo I took at Finchale Abbey, not exactly sure what it is now, but there was no water on it. The lion has a surprised look on his face so I thought I would leave on the large ivy leaves.

Eagle and Falcon

The bird images are from a book called the Naturalist's Library published in 1843, which I now have on DVD. I've arranged the top one [Egyptian eagles] on some textured artwork and the one below [falcon] is on a photograph of a stone wall. [photo taken at Whitby]
