Just put a preorder for this shirt up on my site. Hand screen printed on both sides πŸ–€ 20% of profits will go to the ACLU.

Hear me out, instead of #sponcon we start #spawncon and it’s just pictures of all the salamander and frog eggs/babies you find

Fabric?! I’ve been sewing garments steadily for five years now and have gotten to the point where I want to design my own fabric. I figured I might as well make it available to you too so stay tuned! Here are a few colorways I’m pondering for an oak inspired pattern. #fabric #surfacedesign #sewing

It’s that time again! For #printpromptmonday this week the theme is β€œflipped” and I’m adding this two color screen printed notebook I made while first playing around with symmetry in my designs last year.

ahaha I did once work at a place with no bathroom (they had an agreement with a building across the alley to use theirs) and it sucked

Hey, I’m Sylvia, a printmaker and small biz owner living on Cape Cod. I mostly work in silkscreen, letterpress, and block printing and draw my inspiration from folklore and the natural world. You can find me living my best swamp witch life: walking in the woods and trying all hobbit-like crafts.

I'm late in all senses to the #printpromptmonday party - I was in A&E yesterday so...! What a marvellous idea @gemmatrickey.bsky.social & @strangford.bsky.social & ?who I can't remember... Sorry.
A lino print for "In Motion" prompt: I became a fox (you became an owl)". Should I reprint it?

It’s #printpromptmonday and the theme this week is β€œin motion.” A two color block print using the pink speedy carve stuff. She’s based on the Selkie mythology and was carved this summer after watching a seal in the harbor 🦭

Just squeaked under the wire for #printpromptmonday. The theme this week is #intothewild which feels perfect because moving back to my hometown and reacquainting myself with the nature here is what made me take up more printmaking outside of my production printing.

Hi artist friends, QRP with your artwork and share what other passions/jobs/hobbies you have?

My hobbies are sewing clothes, knitting, and painting furniture. I also require nature walks to survive and am a member of my town’s Conservation Commission! What about you?
