Print 52 week #4
This week’s lino print is all about boxes. I just sat a drew every box or cube shape I could see around me to make this abstract pattern, then set to work cutting it out, leaving some overlapping areas, and cutting away others.
Print 52 week #3
A new week, a new Print52 lino print. I created this print during the weekend’s Artists and Makers Fair at Waddesdon Plant Centre. As I mentioned in my blog post about the event on Friday, these occasions usually lead to huge consumption of tea (ok, and cake) which can lead to going slightly bonkers from … Read more
Artist and Makers fair at Waddesdon Plant Centre
I’ve scheduled this post because, no doubt, I will be running around like a headless chicken on Friday. I’ll be getting ready for the Artists and Makers Fair at Waddesdon Plant Centre which takes place over the weekend on both Saturday and Sunday, 11 and 12 May 2013. I always leave getting ready to the … Read more
Print 52 week #2
Week two’s print is all about 101. My nanna’s 101th birthday that is! She reached this amazing milestone on Sunday so I thought I would use the opportunity to create a birthday print for my Print52 feature. It also made a great print to make into a birthday card for her (plus it’s pretty tricky … Read more
Make: simple lino stamps
I have been using this little red brayer/lino cutting tool since I first got into linoprinting. I don’t use it as much nowadays, but they are great for beginners and pretty inexpensive to boot. For months I’ve had some little circular lino discs kicking around, they’re designed to stick to the bottom of the brayer … Read more

This will run for a whole year and will be based around me creating a small one-off A6 lino print each week in response to something that’s happened to me or in the world, something I’ve seen or been inspired by, or anything to … Read more
Spring has sprung
This weekend was actually sunny; I went out without a coat and sat and had a pint in a pub garden – bliss! As it was so nice I thought I’d take some springtime photos using a new app I’ve downloaded called Aviary, which I actually love! Anyway, I hope you can feel the warmth … Read more
Make: scribble decorated breakfast set
I’ve been thinking about using a ceramic pen to decorate some simple, plain white plates and things for a while. I found these egg cups and plates in Hobbycraft, along with the ceramic pen so thought I would give it a go. I had no particular design in mind, but wanted it to be simple, … Read more
What’s new?
Sorry for being a bit quiet during the last few weeks. The combination of bank holidays on the two days I usually work for myself (Monday and Friday), a wedding in Belfast and a rotten cold have left me behind when it comes to blogging! So here’s a little bit of a catch up. This … Read more
