A colour wood engraving. 10 months in the works, not everything worked out and I’m not sure I’m entirely happy about it - need to put some distance between us as I’ve been staring at it for too long!

On the home stretch with this colour wood engraving I started in September. I’ve struggled with this on and off for 9 months now, almost convincing myself that it won’t be anything like what I envisaged when I set off.
Can’t wait to proof all the colours together and see for myself if it worked 🤞

I’m thrilled to announce an upcoming solo exhibition of wood engravings and linocuts.

There will be linocut and wood engraving demos and I’m also planning to run a workshop-more details to follow.
So excited (and a tad nervous) about this! ☺️🤞

Results of some inky play. Fiddly to print these overlapping blocks but I like how the results are all different.

Finished! A new linocut, 17 colours over 4 carved blocks of Lino. Pretty happy with it. Tried a few new things here, I especially enjoyed the slightly abstract elements - more of that to come I think. Inspired by our beautiful neighbourhood (Holyrood in Southside Edinburgh).

Results of a little play with old blocks of lino. Enjoyed that, maybe an idea for a fabric pattern if I ever get round to making one. 🤔

‘Peonies’ linocut from 2020 with a new colour way - a blend of green and pink. Very tricky to ink up and blend these two colours (on the same block of lino) so only got 2 good prints. Like this colour combo though.

A glimpse of where I’m at with this multi-block linocut. It kind of grew arms and legs and the proofing is taking ages. There are plenty of colours on 4 blocks and the intensity and transparency of each colour needs to be just right, and each layer needs to dry before I print the next layer.

Chipping away at block n3 of this multi-block linocut.
I’m building a new body of work for the Festival of Printmaking in Stirling University 15-17 Aug. I’m absolutely delighted to be taking part again - our very first festival last august was incredible.

The sun is out again, I’m taking advantage of a better light to take more photos of recent work. Here is ‘March’ - a small (7x8cm) 5-block wood engraving, printed directly from the engraved blocks on my beautiful antique Albion press called Esme.

More photos of colour wood engraving ‘March’. I printed it on 2 types of paper: smooth white Liber Charta and ‘warm white’ BFK Rives (2nd photo) - it has a wonderful texture.

‘March’ - a 5-block wood engraving. Very happy with it. ☺️ I wanted it to be a playful and colourful celebration of all things spring - my absolute favourite season.
The first few prints from the edition are now in my website www.mashaandtheprints.com/product-page...

Happy Spring Equinox! ‘Spring is here’ is a little wood engraving from a couple of years ago. So much inspiration around at this time of year 🪻💐🌹

I pulled a few prints from this block (before engraving it further), it’s one of the 5 blocks that form my latest multi-block wood engraving, but I liked the look of it by itself in olive green 💚
The colour engraving is coming very soon - the ‘big reveal’ and a process video to follow 😊

Decided to add the 5th block to this multi-block wood engraving. A bit of an impromptu move and the block I have is a different size and shape to the other 4 so aligning everything is tricky but printmaking is mostly about dealing with challenges, isn’t it? 🤞

A sneak peek of the proofing in progress. Lots of overlapping colours = lots of variations depending on the shade I mix, transparency etc. This is one of the many proofs after 3 layers, still 2 layers to go. Feeling happy about the way this wood engraving is going ☺️
