My camera just happened to point this way but I rather like the composition.

Happy #Easter! #linocut #printmaking #rabbit #lapin

Happy Easter weekend! Here's a batch of my favourite prints: some lovely flowers. #printpromptmonday @printsbythebay.bsky.social @strangford.bsky.social @gemmatrickey.bsky.social #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

Managed a few minutes of linocutting! Made one boo-boo but no one will notice but me. #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

Here’s what’s coming up for #printpromptmonday in April! Don’t worry about sticking too closely to the prompts, it’s more about connecting with other printmakers 🩷 Give this a share to spread the word! Looking forward to seeing all the lovely prints on Monday… #artshare #art #printmaking #print

”C’est pas sorcier” translates roughly to ”it’s not witchcraft,” making this perfect for the #printpromptmonday theme of #magic. @printsbythebay.bsky.social @strangford.bsky.social @gemmatrickey.bsky.social #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

For this week’s theme of #printpromptmonday ( #water ), here’s a print of rain, puddles and spotted rainboots. Also appropriate for the spring-like weather. @printsbythebay.bsky.social @strangford.bsky.social @gemmatrickey.bsky.social #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

Text printed! One more layer to come. #paris #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

Working on a print that summarizes my relationship with #paris. This will lie over one of the grey scribbles I did earlier, to be followed by an actual image. #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

My contribution to today’s #printpromptmonday with the theme “flipped.” Here the letters are flipped all around. Can you decipher it? #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

Got a few minutes of carving under my belt today. I love the precision of making letters. #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

Ready for carving! #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

How about a little Charleston for this week’s #printpromptmonday? #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

Finally found a modicum of energy and got these prints done! They're layer one of three, so two layers yet to come. I love the squiggle in the middle the best. Also got to test my new printing press. So much easier than hand-printing with a rolling pin! #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

Well, one doesn’t use a typewriter very often outside, so I’ll use this print as my "inside" contribution to this week’s #printpromptmonday #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint #typewriter

Happy Valentines! #valentines #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint #daisies

Paper prepped, lino carved. Ready to print! So far, these three designs look very abstract, but the next two layers will be recognizable. #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

Not feeling well lately so cutting paper is a major win. Got about half done. #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

Sorry for being so quiet on here. I’ve got big lino plans but poor health has put a pause on executing them. Will do so when I’m able.

It’s a hard life. The black cat tucked herself under the covers like that

An unglamorous printmaking step: prepping paper. #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

It doesn't look like much, but here's the third and final under-layer for my "places" series of prints. Next I prep the paper, Ternes Burton tabs and jig, and then on to printing. #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint

Finished this linocut layer. It looks bizarre on its own, but will be a pale grey under the main two layers. In making it, I felt like I was carving a Celtic pattern, although it's a random scribble. I quite enjoyed the meditative state. #printmaking #printmaker #linocut #linoprint #blockprint

Thank you to everyone who’s following me so far! Instagram felt like pulling teeth, but people over here seem much more enthusiastic.

Looking to follow other linocut and printmaking artists? I’ve started assembling some in this list. bsky.app/profile/did:...

New influx means it's time to reshare the starter pack. Are you looking for printmakers? Well, buddy, lemme tell you. #art #printmaking #linocut #woodcutting #etching #artists go.bsky.app/S68N5qE

A taster of some of my most recent lino prints. I’d love to connect with more lino lovers!

Hello! I’m new over here at Bluesky but don’t think I can support Instagram anymore. I’m a linocut artist, and would love to get to know you. Follow me to stay in touch!
