And another small proof. Thinking of all the people protesting for a better future in London this week..this image made me think of taking responsibility and things being in our hands although it's easy to feel powerless sometimes

First sunshine on their faces 'Softest clothing wooly bright'. I'm taking a small break from posting to get on with less instagramable work (not actually lambing, I'm just a tourist☺️). My website is going to be offline for a few weeks for some spring cleaning. I'll be launching a new shiny version very soon, watch this space!

Proofing, proofing. Bracken and birch work in process. Etched and cut lino offset onto a second plate to add colour

Drawing for printing today. This is how most of my prints start, the drawing changes and is somehow resolved on the block. The finished print is often quite different but they all start with this mapping out process

Finally printed this funny creature. First time inking and printing *mostly* by myself with the capable help of @lpglyne!

Sketchbook. Bracken in winter, the least sexy of ferns, but I've always been fond of it as a challenge to draw and for it's beautiful colours and lines

Results of the first trial - 1: 10 mins, 2: 20 mins, 3: 1 hour, 4: overnight. Seems that most of the work is done in the first hour. Now to ink intaglio...

Monday morning challenge: carrying this massive slab of limestone from one studio to another, took two people and a sweaty brow! Now to actually do some work on this intimidating blank slate..
