These little birds always remind me of my childhood exploring the canals or wandering through fields fascinated by their agile flying displays and low swoops to catch flies on the wing. Whilst they always seemed to be on the move, occasionally I’d spot one briefly alight on a high up overhead wire over the Macclesfield canal, giving me the inspiration for this intricately inlaid paper marquetry piece. I’ve selected pieces of recycled and textured papers, then cut, shaped, inlaid and slotted together to fit like a tightly fitting mosaic or tiled floor. In a break from the norm, I chose to overlay jute string in a nod to the twists of the overhead steel power cables.

In the UK, we definitely know it is summer when we see the beautiful swallows darting around, so why not celebrate the summer skies a little longer and bring a contemporary feeling into your home with this art print featuring one of my recycled paper marquetry swallows resting awhile on an overhead wire? Originally created with a very limited palette of recycled and textured papers, they were carefully selected, cut and inlaid to create this stylish print. This fine art, gallery quality, archival Giclée print has been produced using bright white, textured, British made 255gsm matte paper. This reproduction fine art print is of exceptional quality and provides a stunning image, true to both the colour and detail of my original artwork. The inks used to create this print are UV stable and are light fast for approximately 80 years if this piece of art is displayed out of direct sunlight (behind glass). This print is supplied unmounted and unframed, allowing you the freedom to choose your own frame to suit your taste and decor. This print will fit into any standard frame but looks particularly great in an 11 x 14" (29.94 x 35.56cm) frame with a mount, which is also a readily available frame & mount combination size. The print is signed by me and a signed certificate of authenticity is also provided with the print. Inspired from what I see in my garden, on my field work, travels and from life experiences, I work only from photographs that I have taken or sketches that I have made in the field.
Ideal for: Anyone who loves migratory birds, bird spotting, wildlife, nature, art.
This beautiful, fine art giclee print is on 255gsm St Cuthbert's Mill (UK) white, textured paper using 10-colour water and fade resistant, professional Canon LUCIA inks. These quality inks and paper give the print a 200 year fade-free lifespan in a photo album, 80 years if displayed behind glass and 50 years if displayed without glass. Artwork should always be displayed out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat such as radiators. Art prints are supplied with a white acid free board and wrapped in a clear, protective, recyclable sleeve (polypropylene (PP5)). Art prints may be shipped gently rolled and inserted into a strong cardboard postal tube or shipped flat between sheets of thick double walled corrugated cardboard as appropriate. All art prints sold on this website are sold unmounted and unframed for you to choose the options that best suit your taste and décor. Art prints are recyclable should you fall out of love with them. How to flatten rolled art prints: keep them in their clear protective sleeve and gently unroll them, laying them on a hard, flat surface and laying heavy, flat items, such as heavy books, in an even layer on top. Do not attempt to roll them the other way because you will likely crease your print!
