I’ve missed about a month of #printpromptmonday. Ugh, so sad. Work’s been hectic and today I was piecing together vellum for my Frog Block screen print. That’s all I’ve got to show today. #screenprint #textiledesign #printsky

I made a few samples of my new “Knitting” print before deciding to make some changes and re-burn the screen. It was a pain to reclaim the screen, but it’ll be worth it in the end. I handprint and sew each tote. This one is made for small knitting projects.

I love coming home from my studio, aka The Icebox, which is very chilly in winter, and curling up on the couch with my dog nearby and an iPencil in hand. Normally, I like to draw at my desk with a real pencil. #sketching #natureinspired #womensartbluesky #floraandfauna #woodland #art willywaw.com

Thought I’d share a photo of the sweetest press I bought several years ago. How cute is that wheel! It was well worth the wait from S. Africa to Rhode Island. 12x17 inch bed.

Seaweed is my favorite subject. I love the movement, flow and its wildly organic nature. This was a quick test, made with 2 overlapping and repeating lino blocks, on my (then) new RLV E300 Press. Sweet 12x17 bed. #seaweed

I noticed the song sparrows are already choosing their boxes, which seems a bit early to me, so I’ll put up a few more tomorrow. My Nest pillows are handprinted with cornflower blue, water-based ink, 13”x19”, with an concealed zipper and synthetic down inserts. willywaw.com

That’s so good to know! Thank you. I’m starting to find my way around and so far, it feels like a much nicer place.
