A captivating glimpse into the inquisitive nature of this barn owl. Its tilted head, a study in subtle elegance, hints at a world of secrets.πŸ¦‰

Big thanks to @bubblepunkpossum.bsky.social for the tip about baking prints in the oven to speed up drying! Crazy how effective it was

My newest prints, 'The Market'. Been having a lot of fun going fast and loose with reduction prints. Usually I map everything out digitally, but the past few days I've been winging it and it's much more fun

Added gold leaf to a few copies of this print, using washi tape to get clean lines

A photo of a pack of greeting cards on a rustic wooden table, tied with jute twine and surrounded by natural objects : some wildflowers, hazelnuts, a feather and a pine cone.

Thank you! I ran both sides under the tap, and then laid the pieces out on a dish towel and blotter them until they were damp but not wet. Worked pretty well! There was a sweet spot where they were pretty damp but didn't have any water sitting on the surface, that printed the best.

Finished this set of pet portraits- just need to add some gold leaf (and maybe reprint a little straighter?)

This heron print was initially going to be in the same style as my other birds (black and white printed on leaf paper) but I've been getting the urge to get back into multi color reduction prints. This is my initial attempt to add some color into the sketch

Teaching a Valentines Day card block printing workshop tomorrow, so I made this card as an example. Pretty cute if I do say so myself
