Millie bracing herself for a day in the studio as Storm Amy approaches...

It was lovely to welcome visitors to my studio yesterday and today. I will also be open Sun and Mon for Cowal Open Studios. It’s been great seeing so many prints going to new homes…..but also having lots of chat about original printmaking! www.cowalopenstudios.co.uk #printmaking #openstudios

A lovely print by John Bloor, a talented UK printmaker.

Final layers finished this morning. ‘homewards’ 32x50cm Caligo Safewash on Somerset Satin. #printmaking #linocut #reductioncut #landscape #scottishartist

I love the start of autumn when we have these golden days and I wake up to see this from my bedroom window. #scotland #autumnlandscape #morning #home

A couple more layers to go on my current reduction linocut. #printmaking #linocut #scotland #landscape

A day out enjoying Scotland.

Lovely to be back in my studio and printmaking after a bit of a break! #printmaking #originalprint #scotland #artist #linocut

Out and about this weekend. Wonderful inspiration for new prints! #argyll #scotland #landscape #inspiration

While I wait to start my next print, this one popped up in my photos from a couple of years ago. Summer in the Highlands. 35x55cm. I loved mixing the colours for this. I’ve included two photos I used in creating this print. #printmaking #linocut

Wish I could see this exhibition!

Masha showing how impressive carving wood is!

My latest reduction linocut, Plockton in the Highlands of Scotland, completed today. 50x32cm. Caligo Safewash on Somerset Satin. #printmaking #linocut #scotlandlandscape www.debwing.com

A few layers to go, but enjoying making this print…..first person to correctly guess where it is can have one of the edition!! www.debwing.com #printmaker #linocut

I’ve got to layer 3 on my current print today.

Completed print with cut mount over. Reduction Linocut print behind hand cut mount. #printmaker #scotland

Model for creating an inlay collage. The window design will need to be printed first. The view is ‘Scott’s View’, the window is based on the design of some of the windows at Abbotsford, home of Sir Walter Scott. #sirwalterscott #printmaking #collage #scottishborders

A few of my talks were postponed earlier this year for the #Glasgow 850 anniversary series, hosted by the Thomson Society. I was asked to share the new dates, so here you go! Tickets not released yet, but book via www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/the-alexan... #savethedate #history #earlymodern #skystorians

Planning for a new print, so thought I’d just post this linocut reduction print from my archives. Not my usual subject matter, but it was the print that made me more confident in my carving. #printmaking #linocut

Amazed to see this print emerge on one of my feeds today!

The finish of this print crept up on me! Linocut reduction print 32x50cm. Caligo Safewash on Somerset Satin. Based on a photograph taken by Peter Donnelly in 1962. Thank you to his son, Simon, for permission to use and @desdelboy.bsky.social for the original idea! #printmaker #linocut

Latest layer on this Linocut reduction print. Approaching the last couple of layers. #printmaking #linocut #reductionprint

This is how my Lino’s looking today. Progress is slow, but reasonably happy with where I’m at so far!

Back in my studio this week and working with this photo (posted by @desdelboy.bsky.social). Already 4 layers on this Linocut print….next for the foreground. #printmaker #linocut www.debwing.com

View from our room today (on holiday). #scotland #plockton #roomwithaview

Spending the last few days on the Isle of Lewis, the birthplace of Donald Trump’s mother…..the locals are polite, but clear about how they feel.

A wonderful view of the Callanish Stones at sunset last night.

This will inspire a print when I’m back in my studio. #printmaker #isleoflewis

Small moments of perfection on Lewis today!

Moments of beauty on the road up to the Hebrides yesterday. #scotland #landscape

Thank you to everyone who visited PrintFest in Ulverston last weekend. Thank you to everyone who came to talk about prints and printmaking and thank you to everyone who left with one of my prints. #printmaker #linocut www.debwing.com

A brilliant start to PrintFest Ulverston last night and all ready for the first full day!

Sitting in the sunshine waiting for my set-up slot for PrintFest Ulverston. Some amazing printmakers here this weekend. Lovely to hear the local shopkeepers being really enthusiastic about the Festival! #printfestulverston #printmaking

For anyone who wants to be included in a prize draw at midnight tonight for this print or one of my artist books, just subscribe on my website and send me a message saying ‘yes’!! www.debwing.com

5 layer Linocut reduction print. 16x24cm. Caligo Safewash on Somerset Satin. 3 layers completed today. #printmaking #linocut www.debwing.com Off to PrintFest Ulverston this weekend! 😀

Three layers in on a small print. I love the build up of pigment. #printmaking #linocut Have a good week out there....

A good walk with friends, lovely reflections and my first cuckoo of the year.

Very amateurish video of me making a print! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR9R...

@desdelboy.bsky.social posted this amazing photo on Bsky. I tracked down the photographer’s son and got permission to make a print. I rarely work from other people’s photos, but so wanted to make a print of this. Drawing on the Lino done….perspectives and vanishing points a nightmare!

Across the bay. Small linocut reduction print. 45 min video to view on Youtube tomorrow showing how it was made. Especially for @cielo-dark.bsky.social

Some photos from Easter weekend.....working in my studio today and drawing coming soon!

Finished print. Linocut reduction of Robin Hood’s Bay. 32x32cm, Caligo Safewash ink on Somerset Satin 300gsm. #linocut #printmaking #printfestulverston #robinhoodsbay #northyorkshire

Starting to organise work to take to PrintFest in Cumbria at the start of May. It would be lovely to meet some Bluesky people there! #printfestulverston #printmaking #affordableart #cumbria

The Lino inked for the final layer. This gives an idea of the complexity of the cutting. It is 32x32cm…..I could have made life easier by going larger! #printmaking #linocut

One more layer after this. reduction linocut of Robin Hood’s Bay, North Yorkshire. #printmaking #linocut Subscribe for updates at www.debwing.com

Beauty in a troubled world. Ettrick Bay, Isle of Bute.

For anyone who doesn’t know Rob’s work, it is wonderful. This portrait and the story of the sitter should be remembered. The everyday bravery of fishing crews is so often overlooked.

Beautiful local views over the Kyles of Bute as we edge towards summer. Time away from the studio last week, sharing these special places with friends. #argyll #secretcoast #scotland

All power to US protesters today! My print being at the GSWA exhibition at the Maclaurin Gallery in Ayrshire seems pretty trivial by comparison! I'll be posting an offer to my website subscribers next week...plus one just for protesters!! www.debwing.com to sign up
