New product!

My greetings cards are always popular at markets but they've not been so economical to buy online, due to the postage.

So I've put together a couple of card bundles: 6 different greetings cards based on my designs, and a choice of two options.

🍂🧡MABON BLESSINGS 🧡🍂

Today is Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, in the Northern Hemisphere. A time of balance, where day & night are of equal length.

It marks the second harvest - a time for thanksgiving and stock-taking.
Picture shows a section of a circular linocut in black & white. Shown is an eighth of the circle, the Mabon section of the Wheel of the Year linocut by Vicki Jordan. With apples and falling autumn leaves, and the word Mabon carved above.

Time to get a calendar for next year? I always get a calendar around now, as we start to get appointments & events rolling into the New Year.

So maybe you'd like one of my calendars?! Following the Wheel of the Year with a selection of my linocuts.

New pin badges now on my Etsy! Well actually the Three Hares is a restock, but the other 3 designs are new.

The 'Safe with me' one isn't my usual aesthetic but I really wanted this design as a badge. I'll be making a donation to Safe Space High Peak for each of these sold.

Hand holding 4 wooden pin badges - one of a bright sunflower, one of a stylised peacock fanning his tail, one of Three Hares chasing each other in a circle, and one of two holding hands, with the words 'Safe with me' against a background of the trans flag colours.

Cookworthy Knapp, a.k.a. the 'Nearly There Trees' or the 'Nearly Home Trees'. A familiar sight to folk travelling down to Cornwall!

I'm pretty pleased with this linocut but I'm not convinced that the sky is right.

A little block and its print. This one is for #DovesForPeace4 and will be auctioned in aid of @warchilduk.bsky.social.

I'm in love with the ink colour - Powder Blue from #CranfieldColours. I'm not normally a pastelly person but I adore this one.
Image shows an inked up lino block on the left, and the printed image on the right. The image is of a peace dove, surrounded by leaves and branches, and is printed in powder blue ink.

My 'Maiden, Mother, Crone' mounted & framed. I'm pretty pleased with how it looks considering I almost abandoned this print multiple times!

This print is not online yet but I'll be taking this framed one & some unframed to my next market (High Peak Makers in Chapel-en-le-Frith, 3rd & 4th of May).
Image shows a framed linocut of the Triple Goddess, Maiden, Mother, Crone, printed in dark red ink, with white mount and black frame.

I'm in #Glossop on Saturday for #HighPeakMakersMarket, really looking forward to it.

The market actually runs on both Sat & Sun, but I'm only there on the Saturday as I'm running a workshop on Sunday. So a busy weekend for me! 😆

A bit about my most popular print 'Three Hares', originally created for #ThoughtPressProject

The #ThreeHares motif has existed since C7th - found in China, The Middle East, Europe & in the churches of Devon (where it is known locally as #TinnersRabbits).

1/3
A montage of images showing the creation of my Three Hares lino print. Two images of stone carvings of three hares on churches, used as inspiration. An image of my initial drawing on the lino, and an image taken part way through carving. And two images of the final print, one in black and one in burgundy

Somewhat late to the #printpromptmonday party, but here is my #foliage offering. My Green Man is one of my favourite prints, and here he's on a monoprinted leafy background for extra foliage points! 😆
