I missed it last week, but I'm back for #PrintPromptMonday on the theme of #Text. One for the #BookLovers 📚 #Printmaking #BlueSkyArt
An A5 print in black and white of a row of books of various sizes and designs. One reads 'one more chapter' and another reads 'a new book'. The print is propped up in front of some house plants.

I've started noticing the honey bees out now that it's #Spring so I thought I'd share this set of mini prints for #PrintPromptMonday thanks @gemmatrickey.bsky.social @strangford.co @printsbythebay.bsky.social for hosting 🖤 The set is available to order from my #Folksy shop 🐝
Five mini prints lined up in a row on a wooden sideboard. The prints are of sunflower seeds, a sunflower, a honey bee, a honey pot, and a honey spoon.

This for all the women whose blood, sweat, and tears go into creating life in this world (all forms, not just literal). From her bleeding heart, new life is growing, and with the strength of all the women who have come before her she will live on. #PrintPromptMonday #Portrait #TransRightsMatter
A naked woman kneels in a pool of blood with her arms and head thrown back. A spear is piercing her chest, from the tip of the spear her heart grows roots and from the shaft grow leaves. It is a small block print in deep blue ink on A5 paper.

How about these #Mushrooms for #PrintPromptMonday this week and the theme of #Earth? I've been a little obsessed with mushrooms and mycelium recently and would recommend reading 'Entangled Life' by Merlin Sheldrake as well as 'Finding the Mother Tree' by Suzanne Simard.
A collection of A6 prints in brown ink of various types of mushrooms.

It's that time again: #PrintPromptMonday and for this week's theme of #Water here is 'The Cobb' - made for my parents for Christmas. They spend a lot of time down at Lyme Regis and we've got many happy memories now of walking along The Cobb as a family. #Printmakers #ArtSky #BlueSkyArt

For #PrintPromptMonday #Text I have only ever cut one bit of text in a lino print and this is it – my Old Lifeboat Station at Lizard print.

This has my favourite figure ever in a print of mine. I wish they could all be this good.

For #PrintPromptMonday #Process here is my setup for printing my new linocut.

The linocut is taped to the table using carpet tape and I have used masking tape to show where to place the paper. I am using rails to help ink up the block.

For #PrintPromptMonday #FavouritePiece my favourite print so far is my Rooftops of St. Ives print.

I like the composition and it combines lots of natural media with vibrant colours.

I would like to do more like this.

My Rooftops of St. Ives print looking down over the rooftops towards the harbour. In the foreground is a heron nesting on a roof and on the left is a man up a roof ladder. In a square a tourist takes a photo.

I have lots of animal prints for #PrintPromptMonday where they are #friends but I thought I'd not pick animals today so here are two friends working on Mevagissey Harbour wall. It's a detail from my Mevagissey Harbour print.

I am really happy with how the multi layered gorse came out and will be playing around more with layering.
