I don't want to be on ghastly x anymore but it's where a lot of my sales come from so this post is a brazen request for shares to spread the word about my work on a kinder platform that isn't run by a dangerous megalomaniac! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Sara... #selfemployedartist #ukgifthour #shopindie

This was a neat little experiment - the challenge from our local print club was to incorporate something recycled in our #printmaking. I had been hoarding used #teabags for a while, so ended up making these cute little #linocut minatures. #tea #linoprinting #teapot

I loved attending my first branch meeting of PCANZ (print council) last year. A joy to meet experienced #printmakers. Each month there is a challenge. This time it was to #print using yellow. Proud to see my #linocut wētā bug among all those professional looking images. #printmaking #linoprinting

Here’s a peep at the handmade picture book I created for my baby grandson. (Video is in two parts) I enjoyed every step of the process … creating the #linoprints, printing the text on an old fashioned letterpress, and learning to bookbind to bring it all together. #linocut #printmaking #picturebook

This is the final #linoprint I created for my grandson’s #picturebook. It features our ‘five precious pets’ including the dog and cat who are no longer with us (shown in pictures in the background). Quite like the composition of this one. #linocut #linoprintng #printmaking #lino

Four cheerful chickens … in #linoprint created for my grandson’s Christmas picture book … I was happy with the ‘chatter’ as it adds texture - though I’m keen to learn to carve clean areas as I build my skills. #linoprint #linoprinting #blockprint #chickens #printmaking
