A proof of my  "Firebird" linocut in vibrant red - it didn't make the edition due to being slightly patchy in places - please see the closups. 
 
Firebird or Phoenix is a beautiful magical bird believed to die in flames and then rise from its ashes as a new bird. Phoenix mythology can be found in many cultures around the world and this beautiful creature symbolises rebirth, renewal, eternity and hope. Its powerful symbolism has always resonated with me. I came across many interpretations of it but the one I especially like is about facing your fears and finding the courage to get through the struggle in order to start afresh, much stronger than before.
