Is this the start of a new piece of work? Saw this 'Midwinter' Coffee pot & cup in a local charity shop, and off I go again!!<br />
<br />
It is so retro, I love it. Or is it the colours? A fellow artist told me the other day that I was a blue / green person - I think she maybe right!!<br />
<br />
Not sure how this is going to develop from here, I'll keep you posted.<br />

Good news.........<br />
<br />
Absolutely delighted to say I have had my linocut 'Winter Hedgerow' accepted into the Broadway Open Art Competition. The judging panel is chaired by Ken Howard OBE, RA. The exhibition runs from 3rd-19th June 2016 at the Little Buckland Gallery, Little Buckland, Broadway, Gloucestershire WR12.<br />
Definately worth a visit.<br />

I have finished printing 'A Handful of Daffs'. It is an edition of 25 linocut prints, image size 20x20cm, a real breathe of fresh air & that lovely spring feeling.<br />
<br />
ALSO....... I have finished cutting out my alphabet. Now need to start printing - a job for next week, if I don't get distracted again, which I can't promise I won't!<br />

These beautiful sunny daffodils were nodding their heads at me, so I've started a new linocut today. Shouldn't have really, as still got 2 more letters from my alphabet to cut.<br />

<br />
This is an edition of 25 linoprints, all handprinted by my own fair hands in my studio at home.<br />

First colour printed, with some texture added in the same colour for 'Ring of Bells' linocut. Used a transparent ink as a base for this colour mix, was very tacky, so not sure how long this is going to take to dry!!<br />
<br />
Think the second colour will be a grey / charcoal colour, printed as a solid colour.<br />
<br />

Oh no!! What have I started.......?<br />
<br />
Cut the 'A' as an idea for a friend, whose birthday I missed, ooops! But this is one of those off the cuff ideas which has got legs of it's own. I wonder where it's going to take me?<br />
<br />
Still haven't printed the 'A' for my friend!!<br />

Today I'm starting to print this linocut, already named 'Agapanthus'.<br />
<br />
I've been thinking about the colours I'd like to use, and I can't help myself, but they will be purples & duck egg blues, my favourites!<br />
<br />
It will be good to get the smell of printing around the house!!<br />

After lots of procrastinating this week, I have finally made a start on my new still-life inspired linocut.<br />
<br />
I am cutting the wallpaper pattern at the moment, hope to get this finished today, fingers crossed. Trying to keep busy as feeling a bit sad today, as my son Ollie has gone back to school.<br />
<br />

For the past couple of days I have been working on this little linocut. It measures 15x15cm. All printed and drying<i> (very slowly)</i> now.<br />
<br />
.... think I might do some more of these, a great way to buy affordable original art.<br />

After many weeks of thinking, planning, playing and yet more thinking, I now have my next still-life linocut planned out.<br />
<br />
This all started with my mother's hand mirror, and the rest has grown around it. The perfume bottle was inspired by spotting one at a dear friend's house, which has brought the whole image together.<br />
<br />
Now onto the fun part... cutting the lino, trying to make the image in my head come alive.<br />
<br />

Having great fun in the studio today - working on 'Winter Hedgerow' linocut, splashing ink everywhere with toothbrushes!! How old am I?<br />
<br />
A framed 'Winter Hedgerow' is currently on display at Velvet in Lutterworth, Leicestershire (edition no. 2/25).<br />

Hot off the press, in fact I haven't finished printing the whole edition yet!!<br />
<br />
Here's my latest linocut 'Winter Hedgerow' inspired by a hedgerow I passed in South Kilworth, Leicestershire, on my way to my old job every day last winter. Couldn't resist it, love the patterns and negative shapes in nature.<br />

Have been playing around with an idea I've had for a while in the studio this week, a small range of hand-printed lino cards.<br />
<br />
It's early days yet, but I can see the RBSA selling these in the gallery.<br />
<br />

After a busy few weeks preparing for Warwickshire Open Studios, it has now been and gone. Thank you to everyone who came to visit, Sox especially enjoyed your visit and all the fuss he received!!<br />
<br />
This, of course, means that I can now head back into my studio, where I seem to be at my most calmest! Got loads to be getting on with, lots of ideas and thoughts to try and unravel and make sense of!<br />
<br />
