Hello #portfolioday

I'm Megan, a self-taught printmaker (lino and very occasionally etching) based in Glasgow, Scotland. I also make my own paper!

You can find my work at strangemeadowsart.etsy.com

A late Summer wreath for you all, featuring foxgloves, carnations, and clematis🌿☀️

I did print these up earlier in September, but still firmly past Summer - Here's hoping the Autumn edition will be more timely!

Working with a very cosy, hand-mixed Autumn orange ink to print up a batch of tiny prints! Which one is your favourite? ✨ 🧡

It's Somerset paper :)

This little cup was one of my favourite reduction prints. It was an interesting study in light, colour, and shape, using a vintage amber glass cup as a still life reference.

This edition is sold out, but I’m grateful this print is now being enjoyed by fellow admirers of retro glassware!

It's officially the most ✨magical✨ season of the year and that means you can look forward to plenty of posts about my Witch Print series, starting with the coziest of the bunch, the Pumpkin Witch 🍂🎃🧙

One of these Wishing Tree prints is being bundled off to the US today! It's always so interesting to see which corners of the world my prints end up in 🗺️

Celebrating the end of Summer with this year's last re-stock of the Sun Witch print ☀️

Yellow is such a difficult colour to film or photograph - These are closest in colour to the cover photo in real life! 💛

Printing up glowing gold fuchsias! Notice me burning the edges of the plate at the start? This is to remove any stray fibres from the hessian backing of the block, which tend to unravel and poke out whenever the block is washed.

Thank you! I find green sometimes such a hard colour to mix, so this is such a lovely observation :)

Green Witches printed and back in stock! This is probably the print in my Witch Series I identify with the most - I have over 100 houseplants! 🌿🍃🌱

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is about the paper this is printed on. It's Nepalese Lokta paper. It's perfect for printmaking, very strong but still thin and light enough to allow for hand burnishing prints.

My favourite thing about metallic inks is when the sunlight catches it juuuust right!

Remember those strange iridescent clouds in the sky during Winter last year? I was lucky enough to capture some on film while visiting Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire ✨🌨️

Fellow fans of vintage retrofuturism design: this tiny little green raygun is for you.

Some dreamy photos from the end of last summer ☀️🌸

Could AI recreate this? Probably. But would AI remember the gorgeously sunny day these was taken, or recognise the turning of the season by the blooming of the hydrangeas? Definitely not.
