Excited to try more.

Would like to fiddle around more and add some colour. Overall I loved just being able to sketch it out rather than plan the layers like a Lino. Although tricky seeing what you’re doing on a transparent surface #drypoint #etching #printmaking06 Jun 2025 14:12 +0000at://did:plc:ye7d5saacytu63mj2hh4mpkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lqwzdpdqvs26https://bsky.app/profile/asithappened.bsky.social/post/3lq3vbdgtkc2z#printpromptmonday and today’s prompt #growth I’m currently back where I grew up in Shropshire, getting inspired by all the art here and reflecting upon my print journey. I can’t wait to keep growing and experimenting once I’m back home. Etching and collagraph coming soon! #printmaking #linoprint26 May 2025 19:18 +0000at://did:plc:ye7d5saacytu63mj2hh4mpkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lq3vbdgtkc2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/asithappened.bsky.social/post/3lplkfajmek2gOnly a day late to #printpromptmonday 😬 I have a traditional tattoo design obsession and when I started Lino printing they were simplified images inspired by body art. Here’s a bit of #text and I hope it brings you all lots of luck on a Tues 🪄 #linoprint #luckyprint #linoart20 May 2025 07:20 +0000at://did:plc:ye7d5saacytu63mj2hh4mpkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lplkfajmek2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/asithappened.bsky.social/post/3lpe7e5juxk2lDid some teeny tiny carving. I think she’d be nice on the pocket of a shirt.

I’m not sure how #spring ish this is but I wouldn’t swim in the sea in winter so let’s go with this! Hot off the press and not quite finished. Inked her up to see how she would look and she needs a bit of tweaking. 👙 #linoprint #printmaking #waterbaby05 May 2025 17:21 +0000at://did:plc:ye7d5saacytu63mj2hh4mpkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3loguxmllk226https://bsky.app/profile/asithappened.bsky.social/post/3lnvkqyx4cc2jSharing this cute bunny portrait 😍 [contains quote post or other embedded content]28 Apr 2025 20:03 +0000at://did:plc:ye7d5saacytu63mj2hh4mpkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnvkqyx4cc2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/asithappened.bsky.social/post/3lnvj3ipr2k2j#printpromptmonday and a #portrait of sorts. I never really know if the people I carve are me but there are a lot of blondes with long hair!

Gave him a voice! Not sure it’ll work as sound doesn’t always work on here. Not sure he’s finished yet as may add some gold spots. Just a little octopus 🐙 in a big world. #printmaker #octopus #loveatentacle21 Apr 2025 17:47 +0000at://did:plc:ye7d5saacytu63mj2hh4mpkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lndpvuzbc22khttps://bsky.app/profile/asithappened.bsky.social/post/3llrbywblxc2rIf it’s too late for finding a birthday card ( always) and you are an artist of sorts;- then this…. #birthdayart #hare #lastminute01 Apr 2025 16:25 +0000at://did:plc:ye7d5saacytu63mj2hh4mpkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3llrbywblxc2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/asithappened.bsky.social/post/3llox2z2vcs2mSometimes there’s a bit of #magic ( and a bit of luck) when layers come together.

I challenged myself to do one colour, and had to really think about what to carve away and what to leave. Harder I found than using colour to define areas. #linoprint #whimsicalart24 Mar 2025 21:48 +0000at://did:plc:ye7d5saacytu63mj2hh4mpkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3ll5qck36ck2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/asithappened.bsky.social/post/3lkssamk3xc2gTwo little black and white prints.

In fact there were lots more stages where I experimented with printing leaves and hair and seeing how they looked. This is the most time I’ve spent planning a print and enjoying the process. #inprogress #linoprint17 Mar 2025 18:48 +0000at://did:plc:ye7d5saacytu63mj2hh4mpkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lklsxu2f2k2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/asithappened.bsky.social/post/3lkdjyqyj5k2gThis circular background seems to be a winner every time. #printing #midcenturyprint #linoprint14 Mar 2025 11:46 +0000at://did:plc:ye7d5saacytu63mj2hh4mpkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkdjyqyj5k2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/asithappened.bsky.social/post/3lkdc4jgsnc24Deciding what to put into the frames I’m painting for the upcoming exhibition.

I also printed three different colour ways behind her. Red, pink and orange. I’m glad I did. . .

This was my first reduction Lino print. I learnt a lot about how bloody long layers of ink can take to dry 🫠 I live near the sea in Northern Ireland and this was popular with the sea swimmers. #lino #water #seaswimming #printmaking10 Mar 2025 19:57 +0000at://did:plc:ye7d5saacytu63mj2hh4mpkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lk2dkniv6k24https://bsky.app/profile/asithappened.bsky.social/post/3ljsexifqxs2fJust dropped my printing baren and it broke, scattering tiny silver balls all over the floor 😭😭RIP #imadick07 Mar 2025 16:01 +0000at://did:plc:ye7d5saacytu63mj2hh4mpkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljsexifqxs2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/asithappened.bsky.social/post/3ljsadtigjc2fJust printed this little one of my cat Bob.

Here’s a shot they took of me printing my latest and biggest Lino on one of their lovely old presses. I’ll be exhibiting here at ‘Late Night Art’ Bangor on the last Thursday of this month. #bangor #linoprint #printmaker05 Mar 2025 08:04 +0000at://did:plc:ye7d5saacytu63mj2hh4mpkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljmjet44dk27https://bsky.app/profile/asithappened.bsky.social/post/3ljkjecqk6c2rFrustratingly I can’t print this without doing a course on the etching press. I’ve inked it up anyway at home just to see how it would look in theory. Going to retrieve Paul’s pasta making machine so I can have a go myself. The process of scratching and cutting was a nice change from Lino.04 Mar 2025 12:58 +0000at://did:plc:ye7d5saacytu63mj2hh4mpkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljkjecqk6c2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/asithappened.bsky.social/post/3ljjx3wcpyc2gToday I’m embarking on printing my first Tetra Pak print.

I think I need a prompt every day. This is my #flipped print. Inspired my my teenaged daughters need for all the new hairstyles that now have a name. This is split dye apparently. Who knew….
