The Worker’s May-Pole, Walter Crane, 1894.

Happy May Day! The land is awakened. Fertility has returned. This is a new postcard I've had made from my Cerne Abbas Giant stamp print. I couldn't resist! haggytea.com.

Something new! Prospect Cottage at Night postcards! Reproduced from my original linoprint of this iconic Dungeness building (there's only one of the originals left now). haggytea.com

@regretteruane.bsky.social @erinacean.bsky.social Hello, I'm trying to get hold of the 2014 short film 'Abandoned Goods' about the Adamson Collection and you two sprung to mind as people who might know where I could see the film?

I really recommend All That Remains with Niall Breslin. An investigation into the forgotten history of over 1,300 people buried in unmarked graves at St Loman's psychiatric hospital in Mullingar, Ireland. www.rte.ie/player/movie...

One for those that appreciate a vintage cinema, I've had my linoprint of the Royal Cinema Faversham (built in 1936) reproduced onto a Greetings Card! haggytea.com.

Say hello to my friend Grumpy Toad. haggytea.com/shop

Coming to the Festival of Rats, Margate soon..... 'Overrun by Rats'. You may recognise this as the UK Royal Coat of Arms (Monarchy and HM Government). You may also recognise that instead of the usual Lions, it is populated with Rats. I can't think what the meaning behind this could possibly be.

The best show of Bluebells I've ever seen.

Can you see what I've done here?

Just want to make sure everyone knows about FOR THE LOVE OF PRINT on 2nd May in Faversham Assembly Rooms. There'll be 26 Kent Printmakers with stalls full of prints etc. for you to peruse. haggytea.com/for-the-love...

Almost time to bid farewell to the Fritillary. I'll miss their sulky Snakesheads until they appear in a completely different spot in my garden next year (if I'm lucky). At least I'll have this linoprint until they (hopefully) return. haggytea.com

A new carve I've been working on for a week or two. Destined for a Rat-themed exhibition. It's possibly a tincy-wincy bit of a political print. More soon.

It's taken me forever to post a photo, but finally here is my finished Samphire Hoe Tower linoprint. The print is inspired by the 40-hectare site which was reclaimed from the sea during the digging of the Channel Tunnel. A very limited edition of 6 available at haggytea.com.

Excited to tell you that I've been awarded @artscouncilengland.bsky.social National Lottery Project Grant funding to deliver a FREE 16 week programme of Printmaking workshops for women who live in the Borough of #Swale. Find out more at haggytea.com/a-womans-place-is

Yeah, I’m sure going on a massive drug bender is all quite thrilling, but you know what is also exciting? Going on an estuary walk and finding the sunken mud-caked exoskeleton of an old boat.

I think my favourite thing about embroidery is the potential for nonsense. Made this last night

The first of two big announcements from me. The second, still to come, is even bigger, but this one's pretty big for me.... I've only gone and built a bloody website. Crikey it was difficult, but it's done! And it's got such a catchy domain: haggytea.com. You could never forget that.

Had my first go at Foil Embossing this week. I fear I am lost to Foil Embossing.

Satisfying progress on my Samphire Hoe linocut.

Snake's Head Fritillary season has arrived and I'm right on time with my printing subject for once. A 4 layer mini-print carved and printed from lino offcuts. I find it very pleasing to make something from offcuts, waste not want not. handmadebyhaggy.etsy.com #wildflowerhour Are they a wild flower?

One week today I'll be taking part in my first market of the year at Beach Creative in #HerneBay. Take a trip to the seaside and come along for a Sunday mooch!!

Magnoliamania and a very nice sky from yesterday.

Too adorable not to post. She's making sure you see the sign. #birdoftheday #birds #owls #adorable

Look at these amazing Tetrapak prints created by those who took part in my workshop today (yep they're all printed from the insides of juice cartons)!! Let me know if you're interested in coming to a Tetrapak workshop in Kent, UK with me in the future!

Spring colours in the studio! A fresh green layer printed on the Snakeshead Fritillary mini-print. Just the last to show you now which will bring that chequered pattern.

Gorgeous Clifford and Rosemary Ellis New Naturalist Cover. They were so talented.

Making a mini-linoprint of a Spring flower. I've printed two layers and have two more to go. Vita Sackville-West was no fan of this flower and said it was "a sinister little flower, in the mournful colour of decay"!! Any ideas on the flower?

THIS SATURDAY! Tetrapak Print Workshop. Three places left which I would love to fill!! Just outside Faversham Kent (1 hour from London and then a 10 minute taxi ride). Come make Prints from Tetrapak packaging like these! Book at handmadebyhaggy.etsy.com

My first attempt at this fiddly but rather fun technique of adding colour to prints (Chine Collè). I think the Terracotta Pot is a triumph, the Auricula flowers not so much. Must make more prints featuring Terracotta Pots.

Here's my Barn Owl linoprint again, its details, textures and delightful inconsistencies, full of chance and happenstance, no AI here. And here are the stages that my human mind, eyes and hands went through in making it, back to the pencil drawing made from a real Barn Owl. handmadebyhaggy.etsy.com

There has been something odd going on with me and this linoprint. I finished it over a week ago but I haven't wanted to share it. It's like the fragile ghostly ethereal Owl is an equally fragile part of me and I'm scared to let it out into the dark night sky of the world. But the time has come....

Demand was outstripping supply so I've spent today printing the remainder of the limited edition...

Just 1 hour on the train from London to Faversham and a 10 minute taxi ride or 20 minute bicycle ride. Make a day of it and explore historic Faversham after (it's got great architecture and the best pubs!).

Three layers of a Barn Owl down, one to go. Praying really hard to the linoprint gods that the last layer goes on well. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Visited the Rose Wylie exhibition at the RA yesterday, and was enraptured. The work is what this world of AI needs: handmade, painted from memory with thick textured oil paint, full of mistakes glued and painted over. Rose gets the work done. Her aim isn't realism or perfection.

Finally, some hope.

Feeling more optimistic about the world this morning? Just been paid? Treat yourself to a morning making beautiful sensitive prints like these, all printed by using food packaging as printing plates! Amazing, ay? I'm teaching this on 21 March just outside Faversham, Kent. handmadebyhaggy.etsy.com

The Barn Owl blocks are taking shape. I've marked this one up ready to get carving. I subscribe to the Multi-block method of Linoprinting so each layer (and colour) is printed from a separate block and then they're all registered to line-up. Maybe you'd like to learn how to do this......

Four lino blocks to drive me utterly deliriously happy/insane.

Something new on the go, does anyone recognise this? It's a tower NOT a lighthouse, and it's in Kent.
