Lino printed birds

I've been doing a lot of drawing in a Museum store, focusing on the bird scientific study skins...
It's been the best as a way of focusing on drawing skills.  The images I am making are just slightly different to the Foxes at the Disco though!

Don't worry - a few animals having a boogie are bound to fight their way out soon.

Three Foxes at the Disco - lino print

Three Foxes at the Disco, they are ready for a great night out dancing!

It's nearly December which is definitely party season - and great to have a bit of shimmer to brighten up the Autumn gloom...

Leeds Print Fair

I had a stand at Leeds Print Fair for the first time this month and it was really fab.  Very busy and lots of interest in my lino prints which was great - also time for an amazing pizza, a French film at the lovely Hyde Park Picture House and a pit stop in a great house filled with amazing children's art...yeah!

Everybody at the table - lino print frenzy!

Due to having a long list of other things to do I have managed to get quite a few new lino prints started this month...the other things can go away :)

This one is now proofed and ready to go - I've called it 'Everybody at the table' and especially enjoyed cutting out tiny little guinea pigs.  We don't always keep ours on the table.

Here is the print in my little Etsy shop if you want to take a look.

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...

Insect lino prints...

A fun day printing lots of little insect prints :)  Are you feeling itchy?

A year ago already...

This time last year I was printing madly ready to spend two weeks my own pop-up shop in the middle of Bristol.  It was so much fun having it and great to be able to have so many products in one place.

Also great was having a huge flock of laser cut birds from my lino print hanging in the window...

The shop was organised by the fab Etsy in Bristol team - how lucky was I!
