    @ poppy, Sharon, Anne & Craig. Goodness, you bubblers are quick off the mark! Thanks so much for your very encouraging remarks. I’ve been somewhat tied up lately and am now raring to get creative again.

    @ Craig – I understand all about those long periods of time when we just don’t have the energy or the time to spend checking out our friends on RB. I know you are still around, so that’s all good news.

    Hi heather & Alyson – thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment.

    @ MaryO – As always you are so encouraging and I appreciate all your feedback.

    @ Shanina – Mmmm, strange that I have such an affinity with chooks (nothing to do with being an older chook myself of course!). No seriously, I guess chooks played a large part in my childhood – though not my grandmother’s chooks because I never had living grandparents. I use them quite symbolically sometimes (the hens, and the terrifying rooster who keeps and eye on all). I do really adore chooks though, especially those delightful, broody little Silkies.

    love your chookies :D or chookens as I like to call ‘em :D

  • Elaine van Dyk

    Elaine van Dyk in reply to Karin Taylor’s comment, 5 months ago

    Thanks Karin. Must say, I think “chookens” is a great word – makes chooks sound really, really cute.

    What a funny coincidence between our chicken pics!

  • Elaine van Dyk

    Elaine van Dyk in reply to Edward Huse’s comment, 4 months ago

    Yes, isn’t it! And it is so interesting how both our prints have been based on our individual past work/projects. But in my past project they were a symbolic representation, whereas now they are purely there because I adore chickens (or “chooks” as the Aussies say)
