We've been showcasing all the fab #ThoughtPressProject prints over on IG, this one is 'In Space' by @francesca-laura.bsky.social Available at: THOUGHTPRESSPROJECT.SHOP raising money for charities @childrensbookproject & @ediblerotherhithe. Currently running a BOGOF too! THANK YOU FRANCESCA! 😍

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.

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

Somewhat late to the #printpromptmonday party, but here is my #foliage offering. My Green Man is one of my favourite prints, and here he's on a monoprinted leafy background for extra foliage points! 😆 @printsbythebay.bsky.social @gemmatrickey.bsky.social @strangford.bsky.social

Is there anything more cheering than a vase full of daffs?

Huge thanks to @francesca-laura.bsky.social for her brilliant contribution to #ThoughtPressProject! Francesca said, "In Space no one can hear you scream. .. Inspired by my love of Sci-fi, this is an original hand carved block print in an open edition." www.thoughtpressproject.shop/product-page...

Packaging up my pieces for #ArtAndFoundDay tomorrow. My 5th year taking part! These will be left somewhere around my village #Disley tomorrow, free to whoever finds them.☺️

My contribution to this year's #ThoughtPressProject is ready to be sent off. And it also fits the #printpromptmonday theme of #water!

Some amazing prints coming into the #ThoughtPressProject shop! All kindly donated by the printmakers to raise money for charity (Edible Rotherhithe & The Children's Book Project.) Check out thoughtpressproject.shop to see all the available prints, and to find out more about the project.

View from my workspace today ❤️

Here's my contribution to #printpromptmonday 'Flipped'. 'Stonehenge sunrise' was made a couple of years ago, and it was only after I'd printed the second layer that I realised I'd made a rookie error & forgotten to flip the orientation of the stones! So they're actually the wrong way round... Oops😬

🎺 The Print Prompt Monday - March Prompts 🎺 Interpret the prompts however you want! You might want to hold off posting anything until we make the weekly Monday 6pm post (just you’ll get more engagement then) Give this a share! #printpromptmonday #printing #artshare #art #illustration

Printing up some of my lighthouse linocut today, created for #ThoughtPressProject. I've printed these in a greyish blue, which I really like but it turns out it doesn't photograph well! It's much bluer in real life than in the picture. #linocut #linoprint #printmaking #lighthouse

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you #artshare

Suffering with the lurgy at the mo so very little making going on 😞 BUT I have listed this Lanyon Quoit print onto my shop & Etsy, so that's something! #LanyonQuoit #Printmaking #Linocut #linoprint

Does anyone else dread the taking of photos for website / Etsy listings? I know it's really important to have great product photos but it's not something I find easy at all! #printmaking #linoprint #linocut

Test print done, and I don't hate it. But it's not quite right either. I'm pretty happy with the figures but not with the #TripleGoddess symbol, it feels too clunky & heavy. I'm also not sure about the overall composition. 🤷‍♀️ Feedback welcomed! #Linocut #Printmaking #MaidenMotherCrone #WIP

Ready for a test print of my #MaidenMotherCrone block - which I started months ago but somehow forgot / got distracted from! I'm not in love with it right now, maybe because of how long it's been sitting there half-done, but I'll see how I feel after a test print. #TripleGoddess #WIP #Linocut

Signs that Spring is springing!

Good lord, I believe I’ve created a feed for #printpromptmonday bsky.app/profile/did:... Follow and be amazed print friends!

Making a start on my contribution to #ThoughtPressProject.

We've started to get prints into the Thought Press Project shop, for this year's 'Sound & Vision' theme. All prints are kindly donated by our printmakers, to raise money for charity. 'A Visit in Gold' by Georgia Green 'Night Verse' by Paper Fight Art thoughtpressproject.shop

Fab day yesterday, running two print workshops. We had a morning of beginners' lino printing, and then an afternoon of painty gel plate printing fun!

A very happy Imbolc to you all 🌱
