Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The first day of Beverley Open Studios today with some lovely visitors and a cheeky print pull or two. Goldcrest drypoint test coming off the press here. Open again tommorow 10-4. 081
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Beverley Open Studios starts tomorrow at 10.00am. You can find me in my garden studio at Venue 23. The house has entered the “where the hell did I put my toaster” phase of preparation and I will be surviving mostly on dry crackers and anything I can forage from the garden. Send good thoughts. 050
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Back in April, printing off the first of 11 charity drypoint engravings I’ve titled “Beacons Of Hope”. . All 11 prints are coming with me to Migfest on Friday @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social … with all sales money going to the Beacon Ponds Little Tern project. I would love to sell them all….🤞🤞🤞 081
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 03/09/2026 “Beacons Of Hope” all editioned and ready for #migfest next weekend. These 11 exclusive hand pulled drypoint prints will be available at £50.00 each with ALL sales going to @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social ….and I would sooo love for them all to fly off to good homes. See you there? 😊 040
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Last few days in the studio before I start the packing/framing frenzy for #migfest @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social #lapwing #curlew Really looking forward to it! 080
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 23/08/2026More Curlew sketching today (turns out it’s dangerously addictive…) charcoal on vintage marine chart. #curlew #wader #birds #birdart 2173
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Curlew drawn in willow charcoal onto an old marine chart. #curlew #wader #birdart 1489
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Some charcoal sketches of Lapwing on old marine charts which I found a happy little combination. #birds #lapwing #wader 0152
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 13/07/2026The startings of some Barwit global map drawing shenanigans. #birdmigration #bartailedgodwit 1241
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Printmaking has been pushed to one side for a few weeks now while I pick up pens and start work on some old maps and charts on the run up to migfest @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social in September. Swallows seemed a good fit for this old astronomical chart. #birdart #birdmigration #birds 0141
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Purple Sandpipers…the dumpiest of waders. Drypoint engraving with some embossed splashes. #birds #waders #drypoint 1213
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 02/06/2026The plan was always to add a little watercolour tinting to these Dotterel prints once they dried - so here we go!…easy does it with the colour. Looking forward to bringing a few of these to Migfest in September @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social 0130
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Playing with a two plate Dotterel print in the studio today. The plan is to add a little colour wash to the bird once the printing ink is dry. #birdart #dotterel 0130
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Delighted to be exhibiting my work at the mighty #migfest later this year. @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social Totally out of my comfort zone, but Im sure I will rise to the challenge! Tickets are on sale now and selling fast! 180
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Multi Tasking Willow Warbler style. Singing, preening, and keeping a beady eye out for snacks! At Wykenham viewpoint this afternoon @yorkscoastnature.bsky.social 0130

Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 27/04/2026A wee video of some close up details of this Red Knot drypoint. Hard to show the velvety quality of line unless you get up close and personal! #birds #redknot #drypoint 061
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 18/04/2026Treecreeper Drypoint. Hand printed on Somerset satin 300gsm paper. Small creepy little mousebirds…Love em! #birds #birdart 3151
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Testing a Little Tern plate…I’m planning to print a small edition of these prints to take with me to @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social Migfest later in the year where 🤞🏻 I’ll be showing a selection of work. All proceeds from this print will go to The Beacon Ponds Little Tern Project. #yorkshirebirds 0122
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Testing testing…my first pull of the Long Eared Owl plate. I worked with kind permission from a wonderful reference image by photographer Warren Price for this one. Such beautiful birds! #birds #birdart #birdingyorkshire 1262
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Questioning some of my choices and my sanity with this drypoint plate today. Will it even print? It’s going to be the devils own work to ink up I know that much. Hey Ho..tune in tommorow to see what happens! #birdart #birds #longearedowl 070

Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Resting my sore hands after yesterday’s printing session with a bit more willow charcoal sketching. Rather than use white paper (which frankly scares me witless) I found some gorgeous front sheets from a crumbling old atlas to destroy instead! #birdart #birds #wader 0110
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 30/03/2026I’m not sure Bluesky is built for videos as this looks even shonkier on here than Instagram…but this is me pulling the first test print of a new drypoint. A tricky plate to ink, but I’m pretty chuffed with it so far. #birdart 3202
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Dipping into Saturday with this little drypoint today. A small edition of 10 done and drying. One of my favourite birds! #birds #birdart 0140
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Charcoal scribble stick on old marine chart off cuts. Rough and ready…A happy and messy couple of hours. 090
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 01/01/2026It’s been ace to hear back from the lovely folk who asked me to create special secret gifts for their loved ones at Christmas. . Alongside many mousie map antics, this WTE highland commission was a favourite to work on. Drawn in pen on vintage map. #birdart #birds 1121
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 04/11/2025It’s always a real treat to loose myself in a larger illustration, and this character owl for my lovely friend @emlusby.bsky.social was an absolute delight to work on. #birdart 1405

Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 05/08/2025Ahh..the Yorkshire coast in autumn. Last year I was lucky enough to see spectacular numbers of winter thrushes spiraling down out of the clouds @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social. I’m so grateful for these little mental treasures that I keep safe and unwrap when I need them most! #birds 1554
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 16/07/2025WARNING - severe trip hazard alert!! 🐶. . Theres a reshuffle going down in the studio this morning. The Beaglebum is being decidedly unhelpful. Surely it’s time for her annual review? Her self motivation needs some work that’s for sure, and her health and safety training might need an update! 070
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 15/07/2025There is also a back catalogue of original pen illustrations now available in ye olde webbe shoppe. Multitudinous birds and beasties. Many with added nonsense. Made myself feel sick thinking of how many hours work there is in this little lot. Swing by and check them out ⬇️ jennywrendraws.com/shop 040

Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 18/06/2025There aren’t many issues in my overactive noggin that can’t be fixed by a bit of yorkshire coast air and the sound of kittiwakes, and because I couldn’t get there in person today, this seemed like a good backup plan. I wonder if you can buy guano scented feed diffusers to complete the illusion..? 2284
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Busy working away on some vintage map drawings over summer for a webshop update in autumn. This ones a biggie…but here’s a wee detail from a quiet corner. #birds 0340
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 02/06/2025Little owl staring down the week @northcavewet.bsky.social this morning. Cuckoo, Bittern, Hobby, Marsh Harriers, Grasshopper warbler and a whole host of others. Fabulous visit. 0393
Jenny Davies @jennywrendraws.bsky.social · 28/05/2025Last commission for a wee while, and this was an absolute gift to work on. Such a beautiful old map found by the clients. Happy faces all round on collection day. Now to put pens down and my hands on ice for a day or two. 1443
