I haven't been well recently so I don't have much to show for the past week, but I started printing cards for christmas today. I made the two blocks that make up the print a few days back and I'm testing out colour palettes ❄️

This is photo of my worktable. On it is a linoprint in sage green ink of Christmas themed abstract images. Behind that is the carved lino block I used to print the linoprint. To the right is a glass surface with sage green ink rolled out on it and an inked up roller.

A black, grey and white linoprint of a troll sat underneath a bridge as someone passes overhead. A stream glows under the bridge. There are many trees nearby. A black and white linoprint of a young woman's face as she stares hypnotised at something out of shot. She wears a small crown and is surrounded by eyes peering out of the darkness at her. This is a black and white line drawing of 2 Venetian masks, a crystal ball with an eye peering out from it, a skull, a dagger, a pomegranate, some rosemary, a moth, crystals, a potion bottle, a rose, alchemical symbols and stars arranged inside a decorative border. This is a linoprint of a stag standing on top of a rock, framed by fir trees and the moon, underneath a starry night sky.

Here is my sketch for the last #drawtober prompt Enchanted Masquerade. I'm making another linoprint so I decided to keep it simple with some linework and symbolism. I need to transfer my design onto a block next, then I can start carving

#drawtober prompt: Spellbound Princess

I don't make art depicting people usually so this took me out of my comfort zone!

This is a linoprint of the drawtober prompt: Spellbound Princess. A young woman is depicted surrounded by eyes glowing in the darkness. She wears a small crown and appears hypnotised by something off to the side.

I wasn't able to spend as much time on this prompt as I'd have liked, so I started from scratch and kept it simple 🍄

I'm so happy with how my first piece for #drawtober came out! I had a vision of a little creature out delivering messages at night aided by a lantern attached to their horns, I wanted them to look well equipped for the task too
