Little bit of progress on my piece for #ThoughtPressProject

Had a lovely weekend at Thornbridge Hall Makers' Market, my first time as a stallholder there. Great venue, a well organised and curated market, and lots of brilliant fellow makers. 😍

Well I'm delighted with my new pin badges! Three new designs and three restocks. These have been printed for me by Lightning Laser in Gloucestershire, and have arrived just in time for me to take to Thornbridge Hall for the makers market this weekend 😍

Gool Peran Lowen! Happy St Piran's Day! Hopefully your feeds will be full of Kernow gorgeousness today. And here are some of my favourite places, and the prints that were inspired by them. #StPiransDay #Kernow #GoolPeranLowen #Cornwall

Oh my goodness, first a @greenparty.org.uk win in Mcr and now a confirmed #BBCGhosts film! It's a good day 💚👻

💚💚💚

Fantastic news to wake up to today! Well done to the people of #GortonandDenton, I think you've got yourselves a great MP there 💚 #HopeOverHate @greenparty.org.uk

'Nearly There' The view, and the linocut it inspired. #NearlyThereTrees #Cornwall #CookworthyKnapp #NearlyHomeTrees

Gorgeous snowdrops

Cardboard mockups of my planned new pin badges. Making these mockups was really useful for testing out the size, and I've decided that these will be a little bigger than my previous badge designs.

Feeling a great urge to hide under my duvet with a colouring book.

A wee bit of progress on my #ThoughtPressProject contribution.

A little reintroduction for those that are new here.😊👋 I'm Vicki, a self-taught printmaker working mostly in lino print. My work is inspired by nature & the seasons, often with a Celtic, pagan or folkloric twist! Based on the edge of the Peak District but with Cornish/Devonian/Lincs/Midlands roots.

It's the annual "Why don't we have pancakes more often?" day. (We never do.)

'Fungi' is now available on my webshop www.vickijordanart.com/store/p31/fu... & my Etsy vickijordanart.etsy.com/listing/4448... This was really popular at my markets before Xmas, so much so that it sold out! So another printing session was needed 🍄 #fungi #mushrooms #linocut #linoprint #printsky

Not sure I'll be watching the new Wuthering Heights. I *adore* the book and have probably read it 50 times, but it always perplexes me when people describe it as a 'love story'. Death, cruelty and revenge, yes. Love, not so much.

My fungi print is now available on my Etsy: vickijordanart.etsy.com/listing/4448... Hand printed in gorgeous teal ink on Japanese hosho paper. #fungi #mushroom #linocut #printmaking #printsky

I forgot to post this here, but I'm so happy with the wall of fab art that I got for my recent (big) birthday! All lovely local artists, 5 of whom are fellow #TorrsCollective members 😍 #SarahRiley #CharlieCollins #AnnieGreatorex #MandyCollins #KatePriestman #DavidLowther

Absolutely loved #smallprophets. Gentle humour and every character has real depth and humanity.

"Have you taken your break?" #smallprophets

Had a restock of my greetings cards, ready for my upcoming markets. And got three new designs, so pleased with how they've turned out 😍 Printed for me by Redcliffe Imagining. #linocut #greetingscards #lanyonquoit #fungi

New print on the drying rack!

New product! My greetings cards are always popular at markets but they've not been so economical to buy online, due to the postage. So I've put together a couple of card bundles: 6 different greetings cards based on my designs, and a choice of two options. vickijordanart.etsy.com/listing/4382...

🍂🧡MABON BLESSINGS 🧡🍂 Today is Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, in the Northern Hemisphere. A time of balance, where day & night are of equal length. It marks the second harvest - a time for thanksgiving and stock-taking.

Time to get a calendar for next year? I always get a calendar around now, as we start to get appointments & events rolling into the New Year. So maybe you'd like one of my calendars?! Following the Wheel of the Year with a selection of my linocuts. vickijordanart.etsy.com/listing/4347...

Me and #TheTorrsCollective are in residence at the #HaddonHall Gatehouse shop this week! Haddon is a beautiful place and well worth a visit - and if you do visit, do pop into the Gatehouse and say hi 😊 Paintings, print, glass, sculpture, textiles & more.

New pin badges now on my Etsy! Well actually the Three Hares is a restock, but the other 3 designs are new. The 'Safe with me' one isn't my usual aesthetic but I really wanted this design as a badge. I'll be making a donation to Safe Space High Peak for each of these sold. vickijordanart.etsy.com

I'm part of The Torrs Collective, a group of New Mills based artists covering a wide range of styles & media! And this summer we're going on tour! Our first summer event is an exhibition of our work at Rock Mill Centre. 26th July - 24th August Centre is open 10-4 Thursdays to Sundays (free entry)

'Nearly There' is now available on both my own shop & my Etsy. Cookworthy Knapp, aka the 'Nearly There Trees' or 'Nearly Home Trees', original linocut. #Cornwall #NearlyThereTrees #NearlyHomeTrees #CookworthyKnapp #linocut #printmaking #printsky www.vickijordanart.com/store/p30/ne...

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

Nearing the end of carving a tricky little block, when my husband says: "Isn't that the wrong way round?" I forgot to flip the image before carving. I'm an idiot. Honestly, I could've cried. #linocut #printmaking #printsky #printmakingerrors #whatanidiot

What are UK folk that use 2nd class postage planning to do after 28/7 (when RM are reducing the service to alternate days)? I'm not sure that customers will accept the longer delivery times so I'm prob going to change all my orders to Tracked48, and I'll have to absorb the extra cost.

Question for #printmakers on here: one of my brayers (Essdee black handled) has developed a very annoying squeak when rolling, to the extent that I can't cope with using it! Which is a shame as I really like that one. Anyone know of a trick to remove the squeak?! 🤞 #printmaking #printsky

Cookworthy Knapp, a.k.a. the 'Nearly There Trees' or the 'Nearly Home Trees'. A familiar sight to folk travelling down to Cornwall! I'm pretty pleased with this linocut but I'm not convinced that the sky is right. #CookworthyKnapp #NearlyThereTrees #Cornwall #linocut #printmaking #printsky

A little block and its print. This one is for #DovesForPeace4 and will be auctioned in aid of @warchilduk.bsky.social. I'm in love with the ink colour - Powder Blue from #CranfieldColours. I'm not normally a pastelly person but I adore this one.

My keyrings and pin badges are now available on my Etsy, as well as at local markets. There are currently two keyring designs - Stag & Green Man - and two pin badge designs - Three Hares & Magpie. Hoping to add some more options soon! vickijordanart.etsy.com

New print.

This is the greatest photo ever

It's nearly time for #DerbyshireOpenArts weekend! Over 240 artists are taking part across the county, and I'm one of 11 artists exhibiting in New Mills, High Peak. www.derbyshireopenarts.co.uk/artists/venu... #VisitNewMills

These are just some of the amazing prints that have been donated to the #ThoughtPressProject - a collaboration of UK printmakers raising money for charity (The Children's Book Project & Edible Rotherhithe). Check out thoughtpressproject.shop for details of all the prints, or to make a purchase 😊

A little late to the #printpromptmonday party (but better late than never, right?!) - here's the #Spring section of my 'Seasonal Creatures' linocut, plus the original print with all four seasons. 🌸🌼🐰

“The government’s planning and infrastructure bill is the worst assault on England’s ecosystems in living memory. It erases decades of environmental protections, including inherited EU legislation which even the Tories promised to uphold.” Please read & share. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

My 'Maiden, Mother, Crone' mounted & framed. I'm pretty pleased with how it looks considering I almost abandoned this print multiple times! This print is not online yet but I'll be taking this framed one & some unframed to my next market (High Peak Makers in Chapel-en-le-Frith, 3rd & 4th of May).

I'm in #Glossop on Saturday for #HighPeakMakersMarket, really looking forward to it. The market actually runs on both Sat & Sun, but I'm only there on the Saturday as I'm running a workshop on Sunday. So a busy weekend for me! 😆

A bit about my most popular print 'Three Hares', originally created for #ThoughtPressProject The #ThreeHares motif has existed since C7th - found in China, The Middle East, Europe & in the churches of Devon (where it is known locally as #TinnersRabbits). 1/3
