I guess my first big project of the year is done! It took lots of drawing, carving and printing and it was FUN! 😁
I did three layers, the second and last had two colours. It was a reduction linocut, where I've carved away more between each layer.

Just a little patience ✨️ The last layer is printed, so now the wait to dry begins!
After, I'll select the prints I'm happy with. I've already spotted some where the registration is slightly off, but that's what you get with reduction lino prints!

I'm still trying to spend as less time as possible on social media while still posting stuff, so I'll come back here now and then!
I've been busy with some cool printmaking stuff and with a new name/handle that fits me better.

I wish you a lovely birthday! 🥳

The theme for this weeks #printpromptmonday is #foliage 🌱 I'm sharing this #linocut called "Onze natuur", or our nature.
Belgian #nature can be beautiful 🐗
This is still the biggest linocut I've made up to now, but I always thought the result is a bit too busy. Can you spot/name all the animals? 🦊

#printpromptmonday asked for this #linocut print.
It's called Changes, because just as #water always moves and changes, so do we.

This week's #printpromptmonday theme is #flipped
Here's a #woodcut print, made with two #blocks and playing with positive and negative space. The block printed in yellow was made by a classmate, teamwork makes the dream work!
As part of the project, we both destroyed the blocks afterwards.

I think it's very cool as it is!

Is this a Potter Puppet Pals reference? Because my brain just yelled Dumbledore!

Thank you! The cutting was very satisfying 😌

Linocut of waves

This #printpromptmonday is about #inmotion
Choosing my little wave #print with a blue colour gradient.

It was one of my first #linocut pieces!

Love this print! Very atmospheric 🐈‍⬛🌛

I bawled my eyes out over this precious little fish. I think all our hearts were struck open when we first watched that viral reel of a tiny female anglerfish make the long journey from the depths to spend her final moments in the light. Now her little light can shine forever as a linoprint.

Talk about having a Monday brain, thinking it's Tuesday 🤦🏼‍♀️

I don't want to be on ghastly x anymore but it's where a lot of my sales come from so this post is a brazen request for shares to spread the word about my work on a kinder platform that isn't run by a dangerous megalomaniac!

Puffin, aquatint etching, 2022

I'd love to do more #etching again, because I like the technique and all the steps you have to do to get a #print. I think this was 5 aquatint layers for the cute puffin we spotted in #Iceland while on a #roadtrip.

I forgot to add #printpromptmonday a cool initiative getting the community together!

Godwit, linocut, 2024

This bird had been on my list for a while, since we took a stunning picture in the polders while birdwatching.

It was actually a sea crait we spotted! Not a banded snake eel 🐍

Cormorant, 2024, linocut

I love keeping an eye out for cormorants! Drying their wings, soaring across the water, they always cheer me up.
