Top right is a woman's head in teal ink, with a stave of music in place of her hair. Bottom left is a depiction of David Bowie, with some of the lyrics to 'Sound & Vision' around him. Bottom right is a dancing ballerina in a spotlight, with a background of sheet music. Centre is a graphic postcard print by John Pedder in his unique style.

A montage of images showing the creation of my Three Hares lino print. Two images of stone carvings of three hares on churches, used as inspiration. An image of my initial drawing on the lino, and an image taken part way through carving. And two images of the final print, one in black and one in burgundy

A bit about my most popular print 'Three Hares', originally created for #ThoughtPressProject

The #ThreeHares motif has existed since C7th - found in China, The Middle East, Europe & in the churches of Devon (where it is known locally as #TinnersRabbits).

"In Space no one can hear you scream. .. Inspired by my love of Sci-fi, this is an original hand carved block print in an open edition."

'In Space' by Francesca L Rolle. A print of an astronaut floating in space, their safety tether has broken off and they reach towards it. There are just the stars and the blackness of space behind them.

These have just gone off in the post for #ThoughtPressProject which is raising funds for Edible Rotherhithe and Children's Book Project. www.thoughtpressproject.shop #Astronaut #Printmaking #BlueSkyArt

Lino print of a lighthouse shining its light across a stormy sea, printed in a greyish blue. Also pictured is the original lino block and one of my carving tools.

'Hoot are you?' by Chiara Mensa A curious owl in the moonlight, printed in deep blue on white paper.

'Twitcher' by Custard4Gravy A birdwatcher looking out, oblivious to the huge amount of birds behind him!

'Sound Waves' by Morag Ellen Graphic depiction of sound waves in gold and black.

'Walkman' by Andrea Brown. A nostalgic print of an 80s Walkman, with a 'blue, blue, electric blue' lightning flash as a nod to David Bowie's 'Sound & Vision'.

A printing press with a carved and inked up softcut lino block and next to it is the print on A4 paper. The print is of an astronaut floating in space with their safety tether having come loose.

#Flipped carved block and a test print of what will be my submission for #ThoughtPressProject #PrintPromptMonday

Linocut of a lighthouse above a churning sea. Graphic rather than realistic in style, printed in grey-blue ink on white paper.

Printing up some of my lighthouse linocut today, created for #ThoughtPressProject. I've printed these in a greyish blue, which I really like but it turns out it doesn't photograph well! It's much bluer in real life than in the picture.

Who what's to see a reel of the first inking and printing of my block for the #ThoughtPressProject ? 🙋🏼‍♀️

#linoprinting #owlart

Printed a bunch of my latest linocut for this years #thoughtpressproject #printmaking #linocut

Tracing paper with a drawing of an astronaut floating in space with the safety tether attached to their suit floating loose having broken off.

Work in progress Wednesday? Something I'm playing with for #ThoughtPressProject but I'd better get printing if I'm going to submit in time! I often draw things on paper and transfer them with tracing paper rather than drawing straight onto the lino/block #WIP #Process #Printmaking #Astronaut

What I've been working on recently: a linocut to be donated to #thoughtpressproject around the theme of "sound & vision"

Planning to print it tomorrow, which ink colour should I use?

⚫ Black
🔵 Prussian blue
🟣 Dark purple
✨ Something else?

I’ve made a start on my #ThoughtPressProject print for this year, the theme is Sound and Vision, so I’m basing it on a @marillion.com concert photo that I took in 2022 here in #StokeOnTrent

Some progress on my #thoughtpressproject print today… this year’s theme is ‘sound and vision’

Making a start on my contribution to #ThoughtPressProject.
