@glempy.bsky.social if we get to forever friends on pokemon go would you like a relicanth? ive been saving them up for international friends haha

equally excited tracking the secret santa gift for me and the one ive sent out... passing like ships in the night at the chch depot right now

doing such a phenomenally bad job wrapping these gifts that i might have to stop calling myself a paper artist #SecretSantaAoNZ

secret santa gift ready to mail tomorrow, finally... i think it'll be worth the anxiety at the late mailing date (sorry if you're reading this, santee)

not sure if i have anyone curious but i do love to talk about my process!

living dangerously this evening (doing cut paper miniature work next to an open window with 40kph winds)

zine concept for next year: recipes i've tried from tiktok

the plumbers just finished a month+ long saga of trying to stop the shower trying to melt the wall and now my dishwasher won't drain 🫠

im not bothering putting up a christmas tree this year but i did need this brocc ornament so so badly

Hester made me a hand painted advent calendar.... 🥹

today i d did this, lifted my weights like normal and then went back for another round. i ended up biking 20km, who have i become

im laundry stripping my memory foam pillows overnight because its supposed to be hot tomorrow and its either going to be amazing or go horribly

my sister left a bunch of mosaic stuff for me when she moved and im so hype to use it when i have some free time... already having ideas about how small i can get it

went on a little mission to the other side of the city to get supplies for a craft i dont do for my santa... i really hope they like it lol #secretsantaAoNZ

remembered chromacon

found my new secret for the gym: zoning out playing balatro on a stationary bike and half an hour goes past in the blink of an eye

finally getting around to planting all the seedlings i left on my printing mat "temporarily" (whoops) the courgettes in particular have gone nuts

actually heres another zeph photo because hes cute.

Secret Santa cheat sheet: -I'm a traditional artist, mostly printmaking and cut paper- i love interesting and unusual papers to work with, especially with fun textures. Same handle on instagram if you want to check out my work. -I run a zine festival here in chch and am huge on handmade local art!

Getting around to framing some of the cute art i've gotten at markets in the last few months... plus adding some lace to a cheap kmart frame to jazz up the goose

oh hell yeah twitter secret santa has migrated! Genuinely the highlight of the year... i gotta tweet more for snooping purposes i suppose

absolutely destroyed my ankles walking around the show so now i get to watch the womans woodchopping to recover before i walk home

the local toastie shop is having some sort of drama with ownership and its all very mysterious... i am HOOKED

christmas just came early for the boy (spilled a bag of his treats so hes on cleanup duty)

Some prints for friends!

Nearly got blown away by the wind on the way back from Bugonia. Glasses flew off my face and everything

This is a thousand years worth of Creative NZ government funding

down at the art gallery with my prints today! come say hi, christchurch!

miniature trinket prints for otautahi prints on saturday! come see me at the art gallery! theyre all on different papers with different inks so none of them are the same :) each of these is 65mm square; the print itself is 35x35mm max because i love making fiddly stuff, apparently

Tried using speedball for some lino prints over my usual brand (flint) and god how does anyone use this. so patchy and weird...

my road is finally getting paved after two years of roadworks :')

posted these in the middle of the night but i might do a lucky dip/hide them in little envelopes for the print fair in a couple weeks... really into miniature prints lately bsky.app/profile/plai...

tiny trinket shelf prints

looking after my nephew this weekend

mild panic as i can't find one of my lino carvings for the print market in a few weeks

did some little lino prints of the diggers outside my house

mr man has been having some health issues lately so ill probably be making a commission post tomorrow in order to not obliterate my savings

Zeph helping me photograph the zine awards (51 photos and 13 write ups, after 4 hours judging. i need a glass of wine ough) (they were all so good though)

found a print i did in 2021 on the wall in the gallery classroom??? this is like going back to primary school and finding your old self portrait

4 hours to judge the zine awards this year, not bad

framed a couple of the cute prints i got at zinefest

waiting for the bus home in the dark... everything smelled like fresh flowers and spring

Committed to this (got a fun tupperware to store the minis in as i make them) now i just need to figure out what to actually make
