WITCHES POTIONS and SPELLS ~ cover of the book Witches' Potions and Spells by Kathryn Paulsen. The cover is illustrated in a vintage style, with a turquoise background and black and white line drawings. The illustration depicts two witches in black robes and pointed hats, stirring a large black cauldron over a fire. The text "WITCHES POTIONS and SPELLS" is prominently displayed at the top. The scene includes stylized trees and a red sun or moon with a bat flying in front of it. Other creatures, such as a crow, an owl, and a chameleon, are also part of the design.

This week’s #printpromptmonday is #growth . Here is a print of my outdoor rock labyrinth which I walk often as a form of walking meditation which helps me grow and centres me.

These framed prints of mine all satisfy this week’s print prompt of #growth
For me- these are all about personal growth- looking after your mind body and soul, by spending time immersed in nature 💙🌿 #printpromptmonday

#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!

✨My first ever #printpromptmonday! On the theme of growth, this is Buried Treasure #printmaking #art shop.frankduffy.co.uk/product/buri...

As described this is my 16” x 20” linocut print illustrating food crops grown in Ontario which benefit from insects. In a circle in the centre is text carved to appear hand lettered, printed in black. Arcing upwards reads “OUR FATE”. Horizontally across the middle reads “IS TIED”. Arcing downwards in smaller text reads “TO THAT OF THE”. Arcing downwards in larger text on the second line reads “INSECTS.” Scattered around the words are fruits, berries and life sized vegetables. Clockwise from top: cranberry, eggplant, green bean, apricot, field cucumber, blueberries (both low and high bush), gooseberry, plum, raspberry, pole bean, haskap, pumpkin, peach, watermelon, sour cherry, cantaloupe, currents, kidney bean, zucchini, apple, snap bean, acorn squash, blackberry, pear and in the centre: tomato, yellow pepper and strawberry.

For #PrintPromptMonday #growth: Echoing my print of insects for Manufactured Ecosystems about the future of pollination this print is intended to drive home how much we are dependent on insect pollinators. These are many of the food crops we grow here in Ontario which benefit from insects. 🧵

The graphic for this weeks print prompt Monday! It shows three relief print motifs - a rabbit with a long medieval trumpet, a lady doing yoga and a weird bird. From the trumpet the words “print prompt monday” are emanating. In the top left it states that this weeks prompt is “growth” The graphic has an off white background and the details are in a bright red and muted teal.

The theme for print prompt Monday this week is “Growth”
… I’m going to have a little think about this one 🌱

Excited to see what prints you have to share!

for today's #printpromptmonday theme #text - know your pins! a day of frustration at my job transformed into one of my favorite postcards. #printmaking

Here’s my print for #printpromptmonday on the theme ‘text’ - a three block #linocut reflecting on the state of the world. You can see it as a question or as a statement of resignation.

A Riso print in bright red and translucent blue. In red there is a stegosaurus looking alarmed at a meteorite passing overhead. The text in blue overlaid says “oh heck” in mandarin.

#printpromptmonday #text

This is a Riso print (based on a linocut from at least five years ago…) - can anyone read the text?

Ooooh I love a red/pink combo! This is fab.

Photo of a hand holding up a linocut print on pink paper. It's a y2k style image of a pair of broken heart-shaped sunglasses with 5 computer dialogue windows and a decorative border with large 4-pointed stars around them; all these elements are printed in bright red ink. The windows show: 1) "better late than never" in gothic font with an "OK" button underneath; 2) "Error" with an X icon next to it; 3) stylised globe with ROSE CLRD in a bold font in the middle; 4) loading bar filled 2/3; 5) single "OK" button with "???" in the header. Within the border is a square grid background, printed with a darker shade of pink.

Joining #printpromptmonday with Rose Coloured, my most intricate and challenging print to date, and one that really features #text. Check the thread for close-ups!
