bird & brush storyblocks
What is bird & brush? It's something we created together in 2018 when we began Flying Edna & continue to evolve based on the seasons.
Each bird & brush block begins with a scrap or endcut of reclaimed wood. We cut, sand & prep the piece with 4 (including a secret wish written for you in graphite between layers 1 & 2). One of us takes a "blank" & starts painting... by the end, there are usually 6-8 layers of paint, ink, & graphite. All these small paintings become a sort of working vocabulary that we have available for additional wood pieces, cards, desk calendars & art prints.
