Printing up glowing gold fuchsias! Notice me burning the edges of the plate at the start? This is to remove any stray fibres from the hessian backing of the block, which tend to unravel and poke out whenever the block is washed.

Thank you! I find green sometimes such a hard colour to mix, so this is such a lovely observation :)

Green Witches printed and back in stock! This is probably the print in my Witch Series I identify with the most - I have over 100 houseplants! πŸŒΏπŸƒπŸŒ±

Crocodile & Honeysuckle ✨

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is about the paper this is printed on. It's Nepalese Lokta paper. It's perfect for printmaking, very strong but still thin and light enough to allow for hand burnishing prints.

My favourite thing about metallic inks is when the sunlight catches it juuuust right!

Remember those strange iridescent clouds in the sky during Winter last year? I was lucky enough to capture some on film while visiting Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire ✨🌨️

Some dreamy photos from the end of last summer β˜€οΈπŸŒΈ

Could AI recreate this? Probably. But would AI remember the gorgeously sunny day these was taken, or recognise the turning of the season by the blooming of the hydrangeas? Definitely not.

Junk mail, packaging, misprints, and old files have all gone into these sheets of handmade paper. It's so interesting to see these random bits of paper blend together to create new sheets.

I've never tried that so can't comment. It's pretty good, dries decently fast!

The speedball fabric ink is the best for wearable / usable items. I use traditional oil based for any fabric that will be framed ✨️😊

Pretty pleased with how these hand made business cards turned out ✨️ You can snag them in person at the two upcoming Tea Green markets I'll be at in Glasgow - Kelvingrove and the Burrell Collection πŸ’š

It works great for tiny stamps that are mostly lines, but anything bigger needs to be hand burnished or run through some kind of press 😊 I've seen folk have decent success with Speedball Speedy Cut for these kind of projects ✨️

Two layers vs. three layers πŸ’™
Feelings on the 4th candle holder from the left? I think the shape is a wildly different vibe from all the others but adds variety?
