I can do this! I have dragon art on my phone, hurrah. Here’s a linoprint of a dragon that’s definitely living under oxford. #dragon #oxford #linocut

All the colours that go into this blue: cobalt blue, red, yellow, white and black. I really like this colour. Poppies on the way!

Morning all. Is it time for lunch yet, I’m starving? Apparently it’s only 9.30? How many hours did they steal over the weekend Here’s a picture of a #tree for no reason.

Finished the storm brewing in the sky, the end of printing this is tangible. So I’m going to take a break from it a for couple of weeks, obviously #linoprint #printmaking

I’m taking bets on how long it will take me to drop and smash this beauty (non printmakers can also guess what it is). Used it for the penultimate layer of sky on this reduction lino cut (then I have to print the ground)

It’s a Thomas petit glass baren. It’s got purple swirls in it.

Yes I will make the nib a bit smaller (nail file is fine for that) and Dremel a chunk out of the side (can almost see that on the pic?) to make a semi flex nib more flexible. I’ve used that nib several years.

I would like to print another layer of sky but I need RM to bring my package of ink. They said it will be here for 3pm but also last time they sent a message that basically said ‘couldn’t be arsed, wait again tomorrow maybe we’ll come. Maybe not’

Packing up the last one of these .. dunno why I would promote it, you can buy one till I print some more and I’m on layer 3 of a million layer reduction print so I’m busy regretting my choices for the foreseeable

Aren’t clouds great? I love clouds I have spent most the day printing them so that makes sense

I have eaten it, and declare it the best parsnip I have ever eaten. Mostly because I’ve always avoided them. But I like the ones I’ve made myself

Deb Champion @champignons.bsky.social · 26/09/2023

I’ve never grown parsnips before so I don’t know when to harvest them but I think they might be ready?

I had a dream I was telling someone I was upset to discover the firmament was the heavens and they couldn’t understand my upset, and I told them it was because the sky isn’t firm, is it? The firmament should be the earth. Dream me had a good point. Anyway, good morning

It’s the field out back. It’s not sunrise as I’m up late because it’s a school holiday

I’m getting ready to print today and I’m literally brushing cobwebs off stuff. Incidentally, a friend messaged to say Poundland have giant spider decorations, but I don’t need them as I seem to be breeding real giant spiders. Expect me to ride out on my spider army soon

An inking slab covered in cobweb. Sadly the spider has only caught a bit of thistledown. It’s a terrible photo and I should’ve never uploaded it

People are following me and I feel I should write a good post to lure more in but I can’t handle the pressure and I’ve got a lot of work* to do today so here’s a picture of an apple tree I made. *I have to contemplate the sky. The actual sky, not this app

It’s a lino print of an apple I made. If you can see it, it’s utterly amazing. Best lino print of an apple tree ever made
