Fabric covered sketchbook
I’ve wanted to try and do a little sketchbook cover for a little while. Next stop, Kindle cover and iPad cover!
- I treated myself to a little Gelliplate from @handprinteduk. So much fun to play with! #gelliplate #gelliprint #gelliprinting #monoprint #monochrome #printing #printmaker #artistsofinstagram #bathartist #experimenting #playing #gelliarts #gelli #gelli #print #printisntdeadThis was a quick test print I did earlier in the year. At the time I didn’t like it all, but I think it’s grown on me! Might have to try and properly print it again. I’m planning to print my Christmas cards tomorrow as I have a day off. Bliss! #lino #linoprint #linoleumprint #linocutprint #linocut #printmaker #printmaking #printing #printisntdead #bathartist #bathartists #reliefprintThought I’d try my hand at hand-colouring a linoprint for my mums birthday next week, think it turned out ok! I used some very, very old pink ink that came from a ‘learn to do’ calligraphy set I had when I was a child. #lino #linoprint #reliefprint #blockprinting #printmaker #get_imprinted #printisntdead #bathartist #linocut #printmakersofinstagram #linoleumprintThe craft room might not be much tidier than when I started, but I finally got lots of my favourite pictures up on the wall! My favourite is from my hen do when @booloulewdesign taught some of my nearest and dearest how to make their own stamp. There’s a gorgeous @flintkat print front and centre that I got from a @im_printed print exchange, a fabulous alien painting by @wynnworx (which is techinically @_alicerichmond_’s but I’m borrowing it!), a @bengoodman87 card that I got from the @bvstudiosbristol openday, same day I got the @vlwillmott postcard. I also put up my @meticulousink copperplate guide so it’s always infront of me when I need it, and also one of their cards which is ‘practically perfect in every way’. There’s also a couple of my own creations a long with little bits and pieces I’ve collected along the way - Tom the Troll from when I was a kid, a cork and some finger puppets from when me and @arichmondartist got engaged, Lego robots from a card he gave me and a dried flower from my wedding bouquet. If I was less sentimental about stuff, our house might be more minimalistic... #shelfie #myworkspace #whereiwork #bathartist #linoprint #artistsofinstagram🎃🎃My two pumpkins for this year. Next stop Christmas!!! 🎃🎃 with thanks to the hubby @arichmondartist for the initial skull drawing 💀 #halloween #pumpkincarving #pumpkin #halloweenii #halloween2 #linoprint #linotools #printmaker #turnedpumpkincarver #carving #spookybitch #spooky #skull #bathartistI also properly printed this one that I carved last night. I’ve been struggling to get back into being creative after being so busy. It felt good to have a little doodle on lino again. It’s based on the wonderful ceiling we were lucky enough to see on a mini tour of @thegrapesbath. If you’re based in Bath and haven’t gone to see the newly refurbished pub, do! #printmaker #print #lino #linoprint #get_imprinted #printmaking #reliefprint #printing #printmaking #printisntdead #bathartist #cityofbathI made this little lino a while ago, but have been really rubbish at getting a print over to the gorgeous model @stellasqueaks. So I’ve done a little mini reprint of this gorgeous furbaby. I’ll drop it in next week @kingrach 🐱 #printmaker #linoprint #reliefprint #blockprint #animalsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #petportrait #furbaby #lino #printing #printisntdead #get_imprinted #etsy #bathartist #handmade #girlswhomakeAbout an hour ago I saw a great idea on @handprinteduk’s Facebook page about doing etching with TetraPak packaging. So thought I’d give it a good go. Apart from the almond milk carton, I didn’t really have any of the proper tools. So I did the etching with a craft knife, and used a spoon to burnish. Still, I’m quite happy with my little doodle. #printmaker #printing #etching #tetrapakprintmaking #tetrapakprint #handmade #artistsofinstagram #bathartist #drypoint #printI shared our wedding invite yesterday, and that definitely wasn’t the only DIY! Part of the reason I haven’t had much time to do much lino printing recently is because I was spending all my free time making flowers out of felt! I also made loads of signs and fairy lighted everything! Photos all by the amazing @bertpalmer 📷 #wedding #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #centerpieces #feltflowers #felt #handmade #crafting #weddings #weddingdiy #weddingdiyprojectsThought I’d share our wedding invitation that I created. I carved two large plates, one for evening and one for all day guests, and then a smaller one for the RSVP cards. Printed in @cranfieldcolours metallic silver. It was a labour of love! #linoprint #printmaker #print #weddings #weddinginvitation #rsvpcard #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #reliefprint #artistsofinstagram #bathartist #lino #weddingMy husband (teehee!) @arichmondartist has just launched a new @kickstarter for his comic ‘Wings of Terror’. See his Instagram for more info or search Kickstarter for Wings of Terror. #comics #comiccon #wingsofterror @mondocomix #mondocomix #letterpress #printmaking #printmaker #prints #print #printisntdeadI pretty much wrote my university dissertation on letter press and the wonderful work of Alan Kitching - I have now, 13 years later, made my own letter press print at home. And look how darn lovely it is 😀 thanks to @vintageprint.uk for the letters! I think I was always meant to be a print maker, I just didn’t realise it straight away. #print #printmaker #letterpress #handmade #art #printmaking #dowhatyoulove #words #handprinted #AllGoodUnlessINeedAQMe and @arichmondartist tied the knot on Friday and it was the best day of our lives. This is just a small pick of some of the amazing photos taken by the wonderful @bertpalmer. Now back to lino printing 😀 #weddingphotography #wickfarmbath #wedding #brideandgroom #happy #hesmylobster #iloveyouiknow #imyourdensity #bringmesunshineinyoursmileI was lucky enough to have a couple of days stay in Palma, Mallorca at the @brondoarchitect with lovely work people. Always a fun time! #mallorca #brondoarchitecthotel #indaclub #JPMindaclubHappy birthday to my most favourite person @arichmondartist. For his card I painted a nice doodley card using @colirocolors #finetec metallic watercolour on some lovely thick, teal board stock from last year’s @meticulousink sample sale (it’s on again this week... go!). Really nice and relaxing to paint this one. #mindfulness #doodle #artistsoninstagram #metallic #shimmerLove a good #shelfie. Finally painted this wall a lovely fresh blue - a nice change from the browny-gold. Swipe for a before and after. #shelfiesunday #interiors #homedecor #design #interiordecor #home #interiorstyling #decoration #lifestyle #homestyle #inspiration #myhome #interiorinspirationSuch a great weekend having my hen party, organised by my lovely sister @love_thrift. We had brunch at @the_cosyclub, then everyone enjoyed creating their own stamp at a workshop at @volleybristol hosted by the wonderful @booloulewdesign (swipe for the print we all created) then pizza at @doughpizza_ and drinks and dancing into the wee hours. I was beautifully decorated in pom-poms, balloons and a nice pom pom veil to complete the look👰🏼can’t wait for our wedding!! #hendo #wedding #printmaking #printing #stampmaking #bristol #cider #henparty #sunshine #goodtimes #pompomsReport for #worldbeeday. #savethebees #savethebees🐝 #bathartist #etsy #printmaking #linocut #art #printmaker #linoprint #print #get_imprinted #blockprinting #ink #reliefprint #printing #illustration #artist #lino #blockprint #artwork #stamp #printmakersofinstagram #inktoberSome pebbles for my sister’s birthday card @love_thrift #bathartist #etsy #printmaking #linocut #art #printmaker #linoprint #print #get_imprinted #blockprinting #ink #reliefprint #printing #illustration #artist #lino #blockprint #artwork #stamp #printmakersofinstagramSuch a good bootsale buy this morning!
