#InProgress is the perfect prompt for me for #PrintPromptMonday - so many projects started and so many left to finish! Here's a block that I carved up yonks ago. The vase is based on the famous trousers designed by Kansai Yamamoto for #DavidBowie. 📸 by Masayoshi Sukita

So happy to be delivering comms for Weston Park Cancer Charity's Time for Tea fundraiser! 🍰🫖 Whether you throw a tea party, host a cake sale, or run a star baker competition - every event held will support people living with cancer. 💜 www.westonpark.org.uk/news/time-fo... #Sheffield #Baking

It’s #printpromptmonday & for this week’s theme of #water you’ll just uhh have to imagine the water part #blockprinting #printmaking #art

This week's #PrintPromptMonday is water! Always a favourite theme in my work 🌊 #linoprint #printmaker #wildswimmer #mountains

Oh gosh loved this piece by @caitjgibson.bsky.social in the @washingtonpost.com So true that it's discombobulating being one of the first in your group to become a Mum. But can't wait to be a support system for others as they joined the No Sleep Club♥️ www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/20...

Another fantastic health breakthrough. Imagine what the world would be like if we could concentrate on this rather than stupid wars.

For this week's #PrintPromptMonday - #InMotion. A linocut of a wild swimmer preparing to take a dip! #linoprint #wildswimmer #wildswimming #printmaker

💜 Such a privilege to interview the wonderful Jane who raised over £8,000 for Weston Park Cancer Charity after being treated for breast cancer.💜 Incredibly, she started training for the Sheffield 10k during her radiotherapy. A truly inspirational woman! Read her story at: tinyurl.com/z2x39xhw

I know you lot love a #mushroom. So here's a Chanterelle mushroom print for all my fungi enthusiasts 🍄 Available on my Etsy 👩‍🎨 Link in bio 🎨 #printmaker #linoprints #nature #fungi

Just a little print I made of a rowan leaf 🌿 Nothing too original, but I like it 😊 #lino #linoprint #printmaker #art #leaves

The UK has the worst paternity leave in Europe - and self-employed dads don't even qualify! The Dad Shift are trying to change that. Sign their petition, which calls on UK government to give self-employed dads paternity leave, here 👇 action.dadshift.org.uk/a/self-emplo... @dadshiftuk.bsky.social

As a former member of Mind's PR team, I felt very proud seeing the charity leave X yesterday. The move has received criticism from some, but to me it just shows that the charity has real integrity. Well done @mindcharity.bsky.social! And welcome ☺️

Very smart storytelling from @mencap.bsky.social and wonderful to hear that Alexander's #Traitors appearance led to such a flurry of donations! tinyurl.com/5n72c2pj

LOVED interviewing 64-year-old Nick, who will be running his first marathon this year for Weston Park Cancer Charity. Nick is taking on the marathon just four years after being diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. Such an inspiration! Read his story at: tinyurl.com/mskm2mmt

Third sector workers - fill out the latest wellbeing survey from Charity Well and make your voices heard! @clairewarner.bsky.social

This was the energy that I needed today🌿

There is already 25 minutes more daylight than the shortest day and by the end of this week it will be around 45 minutes.

Here are some nice mushrooms

👏👏👏👏👏

Loved the most recent edition of the Double Shift from @ellalucie.bsky.social. Very much identified with the challenges (and benefits!) of juggling mum and freelancer life. Big thank you for the community you're building! doubleshift.substack.com?utm_campaign...

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Can't recommend this ep highly enough. Such an important issue that @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social speaks so eloquently on. Hope MPs vote to give people greater dignity in their final weeks and months this Friday.

The amount of positivity on this post is SO refreshing. @bsky.app has been accused of being an 'echo chamber' - but if it's just niceness echoing about the place I'm all for it!

Very much enjoy Bluesky being described as having both "theater kid energy" and "millennial roommate board game night energy"🫶 www.independent.co.uk/tech/elon-mu...

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this. Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.
