PIctures in an old pickle factory

Some of my armadillos, cats, starlings and assorted friends have gone off to The Bedworkshop in Bristol for a few weeks - I just know they are going to enjoy being there...such an amazing building and really fantastic furniture, so warm and cosy!!

Do go and visit them if you are in Bristol and time soon :)

Lino Prints, looking like real pictures in photos of themselves...

A lovely person who is not me and knows about photography and how to do it, even when taking photos of black and white things on a grey background, has made my colour-free work look colourful and lively and very much improved!!   Thank you Jo!

Lino Printing Workshop

A great session of lino printing produced all these lovely prints (and many more, but I really am not a photographer!!) all designed and made by a really great, creative group of ladies this weekend.

I was on hand for the odd bit of technical advice, tea making and sweeping up of lino 'peelings' but in the fab surroundings of Makers in Bristol on a sunny Sunday morning there was no stopping the lino production line...

...(and not a Christmas card in sight - surely a lino printing workshop in Nov/Dec must result in a christmas card???  Maybe they can add glitter to the toadstool and tea cups??)

Exciting post!!

Who doesn't love parcels...but unexpected treats are even better!!

Look at this amazing print, sent to me by Alison as part of her #printoctober giveaway on Twitter.

Lucky me, it's so beautiful!!

Thanks so much Alison.
