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!

I made this little linocut in the summer, before I knew what an incredible year it would be for acorns! 💚

This is a photo of a linocut featuring 3 oak leaves and acorns. It's printed on textured khadi paper and is lying on a rustic wooden table with wildflowers on either side.

I really loved making this series of linocuts a couple of years ago and I've since I've turned them into greeting cards 💚

This is a photo of 4 greeting cards which are reproduced from black and white linocuts. They're all inspired by different winter foliage including mistletoe, ivy, fir and holly and are photographed here by candlelight, lying on a wooden table, surrounded by ivy, holly and fir cones.

I'm running some workshops in Shaftesbury, Dorset, in November. You can choose to print your own tote bag, fabric bunting, a print to frame, or some Christmas cards.
See photos for details & do message me if you're interested💚

Please share as I'd love to have some full classes!

Good morning! It's looking like it's going to be a nice one here 🌞🍂🍄 #shopindie #etsyuk

This is a photo of a little mounted linocut. It's printed in a mustard yellow colour and features a medieval-inspired sun design with a face which has a zigzag outline and rays radiating outwards.
It's on a wooden table and there are some purple flowers at the top of the image.

Old photo of a baby Eggsy Pony with a food smeared muzzle to welcome in the #autumnequinox and maybe for a moment distract ourselves from all the awful things going on in the world that us ordinary people feel so powerless to change.
May Autumn bring kindness back into the world

I love flowers (obviously!) but autumn's a great time to appreciate the beauty of seed heads too. I designed this set of linocut greeting cards to capture their interesting shapes 💚

#shopindie #linocut #nature

This is a photograph of a set of 4 greeting cards lying on a wooden table surrounded by wild flowers and grasses. The designs were carved from lino and depict the architectural shapes of various seed heads, including cow parsley, aquilegia, grass and poppies.

A lovely tree for your eyes and brain �
#nature #oaktree #autumnsunshine

This is a photo taken looking up into the branches of a gnarled old oak tree which has gorgeously crooked branches. There is dappled sunshine filtering through the leaves and the image is calming and uplifting.

I've had a productive day and am very pleased to have a lovely box full of cards ready to deliver to a local shop tomorrow.

PS It would be silly not to mention that the designs are also all available on Etsy in the UK! 😁

I reckon there are enough hazelnuts for us, the neighbours and the local squirrel population this autumn!

My little linocuts make really great affordable gifts 🎁 The recipient doesn't need loads of wall space - they can be put in a standard-sized frame and popped on a shelf! #giftidea #handmade #shopindie #linocut
