Chickenshack or "Mein Huhnchen soll es besser haben"

Made a few prints on paper: They illustrate a joke on an old maiden who had a chicken shack with 6 cocks and a hen. A neighbour asked her why she did not have a number of hens and one cock like all the other farmers; she said: "Well, in my youth, I was a wallflower. I want my chicken to have a better time!"













On the fourth print, a robber is in the shack, and the farmer seems to breed roadrunners. Gouaches, printed with lino stamps on paper. I exchanged the photos because the yellow paper wasn't shown correctly in the first series of photos.

Cutting Rubber Stamps

Rubber stamps, cut out of slices from an old eraser which I sacrificed to the project. The handles are formed out of a molding paste which mainly consists of paper clay.
After drying, the rubber letters will certainly have to be fixed to the handles with glue. I used a fine cutter and tools for woodcut or linoleum cut.

PS. Decided to replace the molded handles by cardboard, because the drying process will drive me nuts, I need it quick.
