'Curly Fish' Printing

Today I got a chance to print a small edition of my 'Curly Fish' lino. I used a pale grey/blue ink, and am rather happy with it!

It will be for sale on my Etsy store soon!

Inking up...

I always use a sheet of paper to help me centre the image...

It's always a nice surprise when you make your first print. I'm loving this grey colour...

This is the paper that I used for this print. It's super lovely and a traditional Japanese relief printing paper...

My drying rack....I love it!

Spring Flower Print For Sale!

My limited edition print, 'Spring Flower' is now for sale on my Etsy Store here. This single print evolved from a series of ink drawings that I made of fresh flowers. I had gone on a walk that morning and picked some beautiful wild spring flowers from our neighborhood and took them home to draw. I made about 5 observation drawings in about half an hour as my daughter was napping and I had a very small window of time! I love that the quick, gestural qualities of the ink drawing have remained in the lino cut. I think ink drawings translate really beautifully into a lino print; with each medium offering different and unique properties.

This is a limited edition of 11 prints in dark grey ink. Each print has the edition number (ie 1/11), the title and my signature.

Paper size is approximately 25 x 70cm (very long and skinny!), and the printed image is approximately 17.5 x 45cm.

Garden Heart Print All Framed Up!

I got the chance to help a friend frame up one of my prints today in an IKEA Ribba frame. How nice does it look in a black frame!
