Day 1: Spooky Beetle
This month I am participating in Mab's Drawlloween and every single day I am making a new little ACEO sized linoleum block print in limited editions of 13! Only a couple of these are left!

(I forgot to post on here so gonna be playing catch up today!)

I love how the blocks are interacting with one another already. I can't wait to print these!

Nothing like handprinting an entire cloth napkin to see an area you forgot to carve. 😂 I know better but I rarely test print.

Well, we need some new napkins anyway, but I guess eventually this type of thing will go into a mystery bundle.

I found my old etching tools! I know I have copper somewhere in the depths of my overstuffed garage....

Filled up my drying rack halfway last night! Determined to fill it the rest of the way tonight!

Had a blast using my press and also handprinting some toddler shirts last night! So happy to have a brayer in hand again. ❤️

Finally got my press outta the garage!!! Only took a couple years 😅🤦🏻‍♀️ Not an ideal spot but at least I can start to use her again!

Getting ready to print on fabric again! I carved this for tea towels but I definitely am gonna print my kiddo some shirts too!

Using the morning sun to trace this image. Then I gotta get it onto the block and carve!

Even though my black ink was dead I was still able to pull a couple of test prints last night at least. The bright side is I have time to finish a few other pieces before my shop update with this delay!

Step 1: Get back to printmaking after a while away

Step 2: Draw & carve a bunch of blocks while telling people about your shop update

Step 3: Go to print blocks and find that your ink is completely dry 😭🤦🏼‍♀️

There is just something about carving late into the night. Planning on pulling my first prints of the year this week 💚

These might be the slowest lino blocks I draw and eventually carve but they are definitely the most special to me ♥️

Hi 👋 I'm Sabrina (Aka Inkedbeetle) and I am an artist/printmaker. I love creating detailed prints, graphic paintings and also miniature watercolor pieces like this piece, which was inspired by my garden. 🐝

"Friends of the Library" programs are the best!! I literally just came back from the library with a few books I bought!

But it's also a problem because I can't resist shopping there when I go to the library...which I visit like 2x a week 😅 • I♥️📚
Support "friends of the library" organizations wherever you live!

These were from a postcard print exchange a few years ago. I am interested in participating in more this year! If you know of any let me know - I also have been playing with the idea of setting up my own exchange later this year too.

Why is it that my best sketches are usually done on scrap pieces of paper, saved from the recycling bin instead of in any of my sketchbooks? This is a universal thing right?

Looking back on past work as I move forward creating new pieces. This Jackalope is currently hanging in its new home across the country. Painted in my block printing style on cut out MDF.

I have been making prints since I was a child and FINALLY purchased some better carving tools. Carved a practice piece last night to test them out! I can't believe the difference. Excited to get back to my printmaking roots again. 🧡
