my sister's house on an overcast day. #sketchbook #art

made a little napping play-doh man head - preschool #art

for today's #printpromptmonday theme #text - know your pins! a day of frustration at my job transformed into one of my favorite postcards. #printmaking

trimmed up my sister's first pot for her. it's a little blobby, but cute. #pottery

was practicing cross hatching, but the leaf blew away before i was done. #art

for #printpromptmonday - the linocut inspired by the multitude of indian toilet paper plants popping up in the driveway #spring before last. #printmaking

wanted to mention that these little fellas are listed in the shop. they're here: kidcannonade.etsy.com/listing/1573...

for #printpromptmonday #favouritepiece i chose my lamps and shades. technically multiple pieces, but i think of them as a unit and i always have fun mixing and matching the blocks and colors every time i print them. #printmaking

sunday evening marker doodling. 9 x 12 on super smooth marker paper. #art #doodle

a little sunday morning geometry sketch. #art #sketching

put a handle on this little espresso cup. it's cute. still waiting for the bigger pieces to dry enough to trim. #pottery

first day on my new wheel. i have high hopes for that little pitcher. also experimenting with hexagons. #pottery

turning misprints into buttons. first step is cutting out the button backgrounds. #printmaking

a little collage on this snowy/rainy afternoon. 7x7. untitled, but maybe a bit summery feeling. #collage

finished a batch of hand printed, hand cut telephone greeting cards with a little "hello". #printmaking listed here in my shop: kidcannonade.etsy.com/listing/1883...

the printed, hand cut milkshakes have finished their conversion into greeting cards, including a punny caption. i always love a bad pun. #printmaking they're listed in my shop here: kidcannonade.etsy.com/listing/1897...

"my own foot" - 9x12, markers. #art

added cherries and whipped cream to the printed milkshakes with a white paper layer and a red marker. #printmaking

cut out a handful of telephone and milkshake prints to turn into a new batch of multicolored greeting cards. #printmaking

experimenting with coasters - i put shallow feet on the bottom so they will appear to be floating slightly above the table top. #pottery

printed up a tote using almost all of the blocks i have carved over the last couple of years. #printmaking

reworked the blocks and tried some new color ways. 1 1/4" hand printed, hand smashed, bad pun pin back buttons. #printmaking

threw a pair of little teacups today and put a wonky handle on one of them. #pottery

1 1/4" button hand smashed from a little two block lino print. sometimes the final product does not match the original vision in my head. it can be a disappointment or it can be a lesson. #printmaking

better late than never - did a little clean up from the test print and attempted some final prints. solid black areas are a challenge, i learned. #printmaking

been working on this linoleum block since about october. many podcasts later and it is finally time for a test print. a little more clean up and then will start printing tomorrow. overall, I am quite pleased, if i do say so. #art #printmaking

my big wheel hasn't arrived yet, so i made a blobby mug by hand while i wait. #pottery

i have seen many of the artists i follow migrating to this platform and they report positive things. so here i am with a collage from the other day, entitled "i don't know what to do with my arms". inspired by me, every time i stand for a photo. #art
