Hi John is there a #printpromptmonday that I've missed. We're in France 🙏

A celebration of Bonsall, Derbyshire. It needs more work.

Belated post for #printpromptmonday #text

I have only once incorporated text into a print. This is a test print that I need to revisit to improve the contrasts.

Block printing on sketchbooks today. I love the way the lino blocks take the rolled colour. The blocks last well if carefully wrapped and stored.

Some of a new still life varied edition linoprint.

Reductive printing, I can't print from this block now.

Tracing paper mask.

Using a "handbag press" for smaller prints.

The varied edition is now finished. I can't print any more as I used the reduction process. (suicide method)

Happy Saturday, now for some gardening.

Varied edition still life, linoprinting.

Need to think about the vase, teapot and cup colour to contrast with the blue background.

Using tracing paper for a mask.

Love red orange

One more layer to go on this varied edition. What colour to have for the vase, tea pot and cup? Any ideas?

Handprinted still life, first two colour layers.

Still life varied edition linoprint blue background

Varied edition still life. Each print is different.

With handprinting there will always be differences, inconsistencies are ok.

Working on a new varied reduction lino print. Inspired by Van Gogh still life and Susie Cooper ceramics.

Come and say hi, at Belper Art Trail, Derbyshire

Handprinted linoprints, monoprints and greetings cards

Wildlife inspired printmaking

I also exhibit with @artsand, a Crich based art group.

#earth Failed prints are used as shopping lists or to proof new work, packaging is recycled, I use hessian backed lino for carving and work towards incorporating more sustainable methods. Flora and fauna inspire my creativity.

#Printpromptmonday - friends.
Prints feel like old and new friends you enjoy spending a lot of time with.

It's good to step back from each other too.
