#printpromotmonday #process ... I did these monotypes today... Every mark, shape and colour informs the next. They're all *process* led. Inspired by the Irises out at the moment. Thanks to @printsbythebay.bsky.social @strangford.co @gemmatrickey.bsky.social for flying the #printpromptmonday flag 🌟

#printpromptmonday this week is #foliage ! Here's my linocut County Bridge Over The Tees, printed on Kitakata paper. Loved cutting around coloured pen strokes to get the energy I wanted. Thanks for the prompt @gemmatrickey.bsky.social @printsbythebay.bsky.social @strangford.bsky.social ♥️

My demo at Lawrence Art Society happened tonight! In order to make sure I cut the right bits of my reduction print I #flipped a photo of my drawing in my phone for reference, as everything prints as a mirror image in lino... Here's some process shots and the finished print! #printpromptmonday

Excited to do a linocut demo at Lawrence Art Society on Monday. I've started it today so I don't run out of time. It's of Caen Hill locks, a local scene to the society in Devizes... Can't wait to finish this! Will post the print next week if it's not awful 😆

I'm building up a library of angled shots to show what the surface of my prints look like... Here's some! I'm doing this mainly because I've reopened my Etsy shop and online shopping for art needs all the info right....hope this gives more of an idea. Giclees they ain't.

My newest print...

Merry Go Round
60 x 45 cm

It's a bundle of chaos but it's definitely growing on me.... Itching to design more block prints but life's getting in the way.... Soon!!

First time printing on postcards, weirdly....I used a section of an A5 multiblock linocut and am really pleased with the full bleed look! Definitely keen to print on more posties! #linocut #printmaking

Yesterday I tried out Hanco inks... They print so beautifully but boy are they messy! Anyone else tried them?

In between other jobs, I began photographing all my small prints in my studio, I have a lot of work that needs to be listed online... Here's one! An A/P of a reduction print of Lyme Regis I made as a demo for Lyme Regis Art Society at the beginning of 2025.
Coming to the Green Pebble website soon!
