I'm curious what other people doing relief printing do with their work. Sell it? Just print a few for yourself? Make your own cards? Charity fundraiser items?

Some Irish folklore this St Patrick’s Day: the Sídhe, the Aos sí, the fair folk, the good people, or the people of the shee from Irish folklore, who live underground. You may know the banshee, or Bean sídhe or woman of the sídhe. In fact the very word Sídhe is the term for earthen mounds like the one in my #linocut and the Aos sí are “the people of mounds.” The Sidhe evolved from a mythological people known as the Tuatha De Danaan,

A while ago when i saw in the book See Red Women’s Workshop a reprint of poster showing how to make posters, i've wanted to try it out. That project bore fruit at the weekend when the staple-gun came back from long-term loan, and i could tack on the organza to the wooden frame. Then it was time to cut a stencil, and... squeegee a print off! Fun (and terrifying) project and will try again. Would recommend.

Happy birthday to botanist & photography trailblazer Anna Atkins (1799-1871), née Children!
Atkins’ mother died when she was still an infant, but she was close with her naturalist father & received a much more scientific education than was common for women in her time. Her 250 detailed engravings of shells were used to illustrate her father’s translation of Lamarck’s ‘Genera of Shells’; 1/n
My panda family for #WorldPandaDay. The good news is that their status has improved from endangered to vulnerable but they do remain at risk. There are an estimated 1,800 in the wild.
Happy birthday to Caroline Herschel (1750 – 1848) a trail blazing woman in #astronomy. Hers was a real life Cinderella story, where rather than marrying a prince, she made a life and career for herself. Marriage her expected role but she was deemed unmarriageable, since a childhood bout of typhus stunted her growth. Her mother thought she should train to be a servant, & purposely stood in the way of her learning French, or music,
Also mocking up a new linocut. I really want to try doing a block-printed zine?
Next on our tour of Canada is the west coast. The symbols of British Columbia, its provincial flower, the Pacific dogwood (Cornus nuttalli) and its animal, the Spirit Bear (also known as the Kermode bear, a white morph of the American Black Bear, Ursus americanus kermodei) cover the hand-carved map of BC in this linocut. The block was inked ‘à la poupée’ (with different colours in different areas) and

Entering my blue phase...
Really enjoying working on this Arches paper. I thought the texture would hinder the pens but 2 passes with each color seems to do the trick.

A kaleidoscope of butterflies for #WorldButterflyDay. It’s also #PiDay so I feel this the symmetries of this print which I laid out with a compass and some geometric tricks, seems apt.

There are three each of the orange Isabella’s Longwings (Nymphalidae Eueides isabella), three yellow Eastern tiger swallowtails (Papilio glaucus), and three blue Red-Spotted Purples (Limenitis arthemis astyanax) in this #linocut kaleidoscope.⠀

Mercury, final prompt for #printerSolstice2425, made me think of #alchemy. It is an element the alchemists favoured & felt was fundamental in their efforts to transmute base into precious metals, both in western & Chinese alchemy (from whence western alchemy emerged).
This is my #linocut portrait of an #alchemist known as Master Geng (before ~975, 耿先生; Gěng Xiānshēng, sometimes Kêng Hsien-shêng). 1/n
Detail from a study for a new linocut. I’ve sketched out a few ideas and am at the stage now where I’m wondering about lettering and scale. Been playing with a test piece to see what I can do. The line is from Milton’s Paradise Lost.

Happy birthday to chemist William Henry Perkin (1838-1907)! This #lino block print ‘William Henry Perkin Discovers Mauve’ is about how the British chemist & entrepreneur made the serendipitous discovery of the 1st synthetic organic dye: mauveine.
Perkins entered the Royal College of Chemistry in London in 1853 when he was only 15, studying with August Wilhelm von Hofmann. 1/n
