I love how my upcycled cold water tank plant pot has grown. It was taken out of the loft 2 years ago when my heating broke, and I’ve been meaning to plant it up since then! Well, eventually I did in late summer.

This is how I fixed the white spot on my barn owl #linocut prints. Phew!

I’ve been printing a few more of my barn owl #linocut prints and have encountered a problem with how the lino block prints. So, I thought I’d explain what caused it.

An edition of this #Scarborough #linocut print went off to a new home last weekend. It was bought as a memory of family holidays at Cayton Bay on the North Yorkshire Coast.

Happy 10th wedding anniversary to Sally and Tom! 😍I made this #linocut print as a wedding gift for them. Given that this was over 10 years ago, it wasn’t my best print. I’d only just started dabbling lino. It’s pretty cringeworthy, but it’s still on their mantelpiece. 🥰

That's good to know! The print fair went well. Slow sales but lovely conversations with visitors. How was yours? I was meaning to message you. I popped into Hawthorn's this week and saw the lovely demo lino block.

Kilburn White Horse, near Thirsk in North Yorkshire. One of the original prints, which went off to a new home at the York Printmakers Print Fair.

A wild, wet and windy week in the West Highlands of #Scotland. Wonderful and inspiring. We stayed in a @uniquecottages 19th-century Croft house surrounded by ancient #woodland covered in bryophytes, on the shores of Loch #Moidart, between Glenuig and Kinlochmoidart.
