So good to be printing on a sunshine day - and it makes the gold ink on these little Bristol notebooks look really fab too!  Having a busy week stocking up for art trails, print fairs and topping up stock at some of my lovely galleries...

Two Swans

Spring is so nearly in the air...
Time to gather up a huge pile of nesting material swans.  Last year we spent a bit of time watching a swans nest near to where we live and now, months later, I have finally got round to making a lino print of it  It's hanging out on Folksy too in my little shop, if you would like to visit :)

Best Seller!

In the Autumn I always sell lots of local prints, great as pressies for anyone with a Bristol connection, and this year has followed that pattern...

The next best seller has been the lino print above - Three foxes at the Disco

Perfect for groovy dancers!

Pecking - lino print

Well here is a little lino print I had a lot of fun doing...

Birds - tick

Pecking birds - tick

Whole flock of them - tick

I'm going to have to put it in my Folksy and Etsy shops right away :)  Race you there...

Pop-Up lino printing shop

Hurray, my Pop-Up shop in Bristol is now open :)

It's in The Galleries Shopping Centre right on the top floor & I've filled it up with lino prints, tea towels, tote bags, handprinted cards, gift tags, pencil cases, notebooks and lots of other things too :0)

It even has a jolly big sign with my name on it above the door - how exciting....

The shop is open everyday until the end of 13th Nov so if you can, pop in!

Lots of handprinted bits and bobs...

 

...and some laser cut birds too!  So excited to have my lino printed birds turned into a lovely wooden flock.  That is my week filled up now, playing with wooden birds :)

Several of these printed goodies have found their way into my Folksy shop so you can always pop over there if you would like to!

It's a pop-up!

If you are in Bristol then you really will be able to find me in The Galleries for two weeks starting on 31st October, all the way through til the 13th November.  Hurrah!

It is a little nook on the top floor right past TKMaxx on the way to the Car Park.

I am planing to fill it up with lino prints, tea towels, canvas bags, cards, gift tags, beer mats, pencil cases, kindle cases - what else can I print on?

You are of course most welcome to pop in to my pop-up nook :)

New lino prints about to hit the shop!!

I've been having a marvellous month of lino cutting and printing and in two weeks time I'll be filling up my Etsy and Folksy shops with the results.  That makes me feel like a proper shop-keeper!

I just want to do a couple more first - really keen to make a lino print of some bladderwrack, because it's such a lovely word, so maybe I'll do that this week.  (and it would surely make a fantastic christmas present??!!!  who wouldn't want a lino print of bladderwrack on their wall???)

Above is one of my faves, 'Feet in Shoes', but you are welcome to have your own fave....

Well, lino prints of course...

Happily printing a whole batch of new little lino prints, bursting with creatures and critters and birds and cats in both dresses and wigs...some dancing, some running and some completely still.

I'll let you see them all soon enough, when the ink is dry and the light is right.

(Isn't it great when you can announce to people that you are an actual real life professional vole printer!)
