Oystercatcher



I've been busily preparing for an upcoming workshop I'm giving at the Kachemak Bay Shorebird festival in Homer, Alaska. In the workshop, I'm going to show artists how to etch this Oystercatcher on clayboard, using acrylic inks and a scratch knife.

The Oystercatcher is an favorite among the shorebirds in Alaska, with its whimsical, red-orange beak and colorful eyes!
