Printmakers! I'm having trouble with ink drying when doing reductions...

Do you print when the previous layer is completely dry or still tacky?

Artists! How do you send your prints?

I'm struggling to find shipping tubes strong enough for my prints with a diameter large enough for my thicker paper...

Would love to hear what suppliers you use - DM me if you are more comfortable!

I've just been busy playing with my new etching press!

It's been a learning curve to get the pressure juuuust right, and get consistent prints... But I think I've figured it out! ✨☺️

A gorgeous day up Ben More, travelling the A' Choich Ridge from the Ross of Mull side...

Not a bad lunch spot! Mull is spoiling us with this sun! ☀️

(now if only an otter swam past)

Printmakers! Another question...

How do you prepare your Lino?

Sand? Seal? Nothing at all?

Having trouble with sealing mine with PolyAcrylic to keep my design on the block. It's always splotchy!

Sunshine on Mull and Ben More looking majestic... ☀️⛰️

Still haven't climbed up - one for this weekend maybe?!

Prepping a new piece... hopefully it will be ready when my press arrives!

Can you guess which beach this piece is inspired by? (Hint: Somewhere on Mull!)

I even got to brush a coo! (Do not try without supervision!! 😂)

P.S Look at this little zonked out highland calf enjoying the rare sunny day!

Had the best time this weekend with my lovely friends over at Ardalanish Farm!

Sunny weather, Highland Calves, and a beautiful beach!

Ben More is looking beautiful today!

Had to snap some shots of my reduction linocut print "Taking a Dip" while we have this sunny spell.

It's definitely feeling like spring, and soon our highland cow neighbours will be out on the loch again! 🐮 🌄

A stunning day to drop off some stock on the Isle of Iona! ✨

My second reduction print was inspired by these local Highland Coo's taking a dip in Loch Beg on the Isle of Mull! #wildlife #highlandcows #linocut #printmaking #scotland ⛰️🐮

Question for my lovely printmakers out there, what paper do you use?!

Looking to start printing big (A3+) and wanted to invest in some sturdy paper for multilayer linocut reductions.

Fabriano Rosaspina is on my radar at the moment but keen to hear about alternatives!

I've been busy doodling and preparing some new products. I really want to create a few bookmarks based on the wildlife found here!

Fun times in the studio, playing with different sizes, compositions and styles!

Fluffy Butts and Snowdrops 💚🐔

I'll definitely have to make a linocut print of my wee chickens in the snowdrops!

Highland Coo's have my heart 🧡 Spring is around the corner here and that means new born Highland Calves!

This print is inspired by these gentle giants who roam on Loch Beg.

My newest collection of bold, vibrant, and colourful greeting cards will be live next week! Here's another little sneak peak of what's coming up...

Think, Isle of Mull, Treshnish and Iona!

Sneak peak of a card from the new collection! Inspired by the Treshnish Isles where Puffins gather in their thousands! 💙

(Just waiting on a paper supplier and these will be out in the wild!!)
