Linocut Fox suncatcher in red, surrounded by red colored moss.
Thinking about Grey Foxes in Oak Creek Canyon๐๏ธโจ
This suncatcher was inspired by my trip to Sedona, AZ last fall. I was very inspired by the oak leaves, red sandstone, and agave that surrounded me as I hiked through this awe-inspiring wilderness.

When I was young I found doing linocut printing very stressful, I recently picked it up though and have found I've fallen in love with it again. Specifically I'm enjoying doing linocut on wood to make wall hangings and suncatchers. I'm going to continue to push this medium.

Take a minute to appreciate this time lapse video of Shaggy Ink Cap mushroom fruiting (Coprinus comatus) taken by Steve Downer over the course of a few days.
The "ink" is actually a spore-filled liquid created by 'deliquescence': liquefaction of their own tissues by autolytic enzymes.

My linocut print of 4 puffins clustered on a rock with the words โAn Improbability of Puffins.โ The text is black except โImprobabilityโ which is orange.
This linocut shows an improbability of puffins in all senses of the words. The collective noun for a group of puffins is an โimprobabilityโ. ๐งช๐ก๐ชถIsnโt that marvellous? Puffins look rather improbable to me, with their tuxedo coats & tails & their red, Roman noses... I mean beaks. These are Atlantic ๐งต
