Scratchboard - A scratchboard is a Masonite Board, covered with a layer of white clay and thinly covered with a layer of black ink. The image is scratched into the board to reveal the white clay using a selection of scratching tools, like knives and sandpaper. Coloured India ink or watercolours are used to add colour and depth to the board.
Spirit of the Eagle
The Native American Indians saw the Eagle as a symbol for great strength, leadership and vision. It is said that if an Eagle comes to you that you have been put on notice to reach higher than you have ever done before. They tell you to be courageous in your endeavours, shake off old habits and strive to be the best you can be.
