Trying out some recommended hashtags this Saturday morning. It seems some are time dependent?
Not sure that my aging brain can fathom all of this but I’ll give it a go! Hope I am doing ok so far?

Back to Cityscapes this week…it’s been a while. Wish me luck as I start the front cover of my collaborative book project with my Writer Son. Closing in.

Another mesmerising sunset. Watching and waiting until the last vestige of the sun’s orb winked out behind Ireland.

This is one of my favourite prints of my home terrain. Morroch Bay is a couple of hours walk along the coastal path and accessed by a long grind down to the Shelly beach. A delight on a sunny day for picnics and beach combing.
Favourite beach?

Here is the finished mini print which I showed in its pre inky stage yesterday. My mini prints are only 9cmx9cm and are often nothing more than a snippet of string or a small piece of lichen strategically placed.

Just trying out the Alt text function. Still learning on here. This is an example of a mini Collagraph plate before it has been inked up. The honey colour is from the shellac coating used to protect the plate from the inks.

Still introducing myself on here. I have gathered a few people since my first post…and am wondering how many of you have been on here a while and who are late adopter newbies like me?
Feel free to respond with an image if you are a fellow artist…or not!

Any tips for getting started on here? Any fellow printmakers wanting to say hi?
Here is one of my collagraph plates, inked up and ready to go through the press.

Aha…so I can post two pictures. Still experimenting on here as a newbie. Second day! This week is editioning the complex coastal village scenes.
My home here in Portpatrick on the west coast of Scotland.

Only fair to give the Eider Ducks an airing too. Every February I spend a week or two on birds. This year I had the added incentive of being part of a bird themed exhibition.
The pieces for the show headed off yesterday. Fingers crossed they arrive safely in Aberfeldy.

Collagraph print made using a mountboard base, sellotape, textured wallpaper and masking tape.
Sometimes keeping it simple works? Anyone else go silly over puffins?

I will post a few images to get the ball rolling on here. Whilst I am not a nature artist, during Lochdown I ditched the landscapes for a while and tried out some collagraph seabirds…they have since become a thing!

First post on here and not sure what to expect. How do I connect to all those who follow me on FB and Insta? How do I connect with printmakers who may have eluded me thus far?
I guess I press send and see what happens?
