nature prints



I've been really enjoying the outside world again recently and so all the new lino blocks I've carved lately are heavily influenced by this...no change there you may say and that would probably be true, but I think this year all my prints are showing neatly ordered gardens and flowers, delightfully organised potting sheds and immaculate rows of veggies to balance with the wild, weedy abundance of our allotment..

Loving the look of that lino block Mel, lovely little squiggly tadpole! Hope you're having a great summer break. Rachel x

Hi Melanie, have just discovered you via Mangle Prints. Love your work - I love the strong graphic element, the work is brilliant, it's quirky, and it makes me smile!

Love your lino block, lovely details!
I have just bought some lino and cutters. A friend and I have put aside this fri to have a go at cutting. I have an allotment, ponds and frogs too. Think I better start simple but many thanks for the inspiration.. smiles Cass

How's that lino going Cass? I would love to put aside a couple of hours each week with a friend for a craft project, let us now how it goes...
