First attempt at a collagraph and I love the tones and marks you can make. Excited to try more. Printmaking is so exciting! #collagraph #printmaking #circusart #artist

Printed my first ever dry point etching yesterday. Would like to fiddle around more and add some colour. Overall I loved just being able to sketch it out rather than plan the layers like a Lino. Although tricky seeing what you’re doing on a transparent surface

#printpromptmonday and today’s prompt #growth
I’m currently back where I grew up in Shropshire, getting inspired by all the art here and reflecting upon my print journey. I can’t wait to keep growing and experimenting once I’m back home. Etching and collagraph coming soon!

Only a day late to #printpromptmonday 😬
I have a traditional tattoo design obsession and when I started Lino printing they were simplified images inspired by body art.
Here’s a bit of #text and I hope it brings you all lots of luck on a Tues 🪄

Did some teeny tiny carving.
I think she’d be nice on the pocket of a shirt. Must do some textile experiments.

Hola. #printpromptmonday again! I’m not sure how #spring ish this is but I wouldn’t swim in the sea in winter so let’s go with this!
Hot off the press and not quite finished. Inked her up to see how she would look and she needs a bit of tweaking. 👙

#printpromptmonday #earth Finished an octopus today. Gave him a voice! Not sure it’ll work as sound doesn’t always work on here.
Not sure he’s finished yet as may add some gold spots.
Just a little octopus 🐙 in a big world.

Abrasax
Liv Rainey-Smith
Woodcut print
LE of 22 signed and numbered
Abrasax aka Abraxas, appears on ancient stone amulets in numerous cultures around the mediterranean, gnostic texts, and in the Greek magical papyri. Some call it a god, others a demon.

Sometimes there’s a bit of #magic ( and a bit of luck) when layers come together.

Now I’ve got to hop off and design an illustration for my etching class tomorrow 😁🥱

#printpromptmonday and a bit of #foliage from my latest Lino cut. I challenged myself to do one colour, and had to really think about what to carve away and what to leave. Harder I found than using colour to define areas.

For #printpromptmonday here are some of the stages of a big recent Lino print. In fact there were lots more stages where I experimented with printing leaves and hair and seeing how they looked. This is the most time I’ve spent planning a print and enjoying the process.

Deciding what to put into the frames I’m painting for the upcoming exhibition.
Most advice is just put everything in plain frames. I don’t always take advice..!

Recarved this lady into the rubber lino as I couldn’t get the battleship grey Lino edges clean enough.
I also printed three different colour ways behind her. Red, pink and orange. I’m glad I did.

It’s sometimes worth persevering.

Here’s my ‘water’ themed print for #printpromotmonday.
This was my first reduction Lino print. I learnt a lot about how bloody long layers of ink can take to dry 🫠
I live near the sea in Northern Ireland and this was popular with the sea swimmers.

Happy to be a part of Seacourt Print Workshop in Bangor ( Northern Ireland).
Here’s a shot they took of me printing my latest and biggest Lino on one of their lovely old presses.
I’ll be exhibiting here at ‘Late Night Art’ Bangor on the last Thursday of this month.
