Hand screen-printed cat cards. The designs were inspired by retro 1970s design with a bit of folk art! I have some of the orange/pink gradient cat cards in my shop, plus some A4 size signed cat prints and cat towels. #catart #catprint #retrocat #vintagecat #cats

I’m having too much time consuming fun going through all my screen-prints and photographing them, back to school on Monday… These were stored in my print drawers - I loved designing and printing them. The designs were based on African patterns and mid-century design. #midcenturydesign #printmaker

Going through all the screen-prints I've ever done - it’s about 10 years I’ve been printing! Sorting which to keep & which not. Found these & they're now listed in my Etsy shop, having a brief sale so they're currently reduced 40%. They're called Nouveau Cat & they come signed. #cat #art #catprint

Most of my screen-prints are currently reduced in price. I’m planning on moving soon and thinking they could get damaged in the move. I may have extra prints/designs to add to the ones already in my shop, but will see how things go… They’re all hand screen-printed and signed #printmaker #screenprint

Reduced 40% - Scandi Bird Coaster sets. The designs were inspired by Scandinavian and mid-century design, the colours by Scandinavian architecture. There are a few of these in my Etsy shop, reduced because they’re very, very slightly seconds! #scandinavian #design #retro #midcentury #homedecor

I’m not doing any artwork at the moment as there’s too much other stuff going on in my life. Looking through some old photos and came across this, one of my favourite screen-prints, Dove of Peace. Printed in 7 colours simultaneously to create the #rainbow #gradient! #screenprint #doveofpeace

Monochrome cork-backed coasters. The designs are all based on my screen-prints which were inspired by mid-century design with a dash of folk art! Each coaster is sold individually, but they also all work together as a set.

I haven’t #printed for a while and I've missed it so much. However I've just discovered some blank tote bags at home and have decided to #screen-print on these using paper #stencils to create the #design. Looking at bags I’ve previously #printed in this way for design inspiration. #textiles #fabric
