Last year I visited the Country Living Christmas fair at Harrogate where I met artist Julia Burns. Her work is stunning - beautiful pictures of farmyard and country animals. I bought a print of a pair of pheasants as a present for my husband. But I was absolutely astounded to learn that all her work is created using potato prints.
Like most people, I thought potato prints were strictly for children but I'm revising my opinion of this humble method of creating patterns and pictures. This morning I armed myself with a small potato, a craft knife and an old metal skewer and made these prints of the fritillaries that grow in my garden.
