So nice to see this post by Brigit Strawbridge about my latest collagraph print ☺️

hestercoxprint.bsky.social @hestercoxprint.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Thanks Brigit and happy new year. I’ve been a bit useless at keeping up on socials lately! I hope you and Rob had a lovely Christmas.x

We didn’t see the salmon at Stainforth today but it was lovely to watch dippers & see some wax caps fungi.

Thanks to WomenArt for posting my collagraph Protected. It’s an older print but I’m still fond of it.

I made this a few weeks ago. It’s called Thought & Memory & is inspired by Odin’s ravens. It’s a collagraph that will be on show as part of my Collections project with Jodie Beszant & Charlotte Morrison in the exhibition ‘Charms & Murmurings’ at Ryedale Folk Museum this September.

That’s brilliant. It does make a big difference. I hadn’t realised how much until I got one done.

That looks great 😊 thanks for sharing the photo of it, I love seeing where & how people frame & hang my prints. I hope your OH loved it.

Lovely to see my piece Hay Meadow shared on Blue Sky. I’m delighted to say that it was awarded the Chris Benefield Memorial Award at Printfest this year.

Yesterday was World Curlew Day & I printed this new collagraph. It’s called Whaup & it represents the light & dark aspects of this beautiful bird as reflected in folklore & its status as a red listed bird. It’s a joy to hear them from my studio tinged with sadness that one day they may not return.

Thanks WomensArt for sharing my work. This is one of a series of hare collagraphs that I did a long time ago. They were inspired by a Seamus Heaney translation of a hunting poem with 72 names of the hare.

Highlights of the last few weeks: hawfinch at Tarn Howes, the dippers on the Ribble, swallows back in Horton-in-Ribblesdale & ring ouzels back on Penyghent.

I had a lovely day in the studio today with the sun steaming in whilst I was editioning Bird’s Eye View ready for Printfest. I could do with more days like that. Even the drilling from the builders next door didn’t annoy me 😁

WomensArt regularly posts my work. I’m really grateful for that. I’ve benefitted in a number of ways: financially via sales, increased followers & good contacts. They don’t need to ask my permission & they don’t need to tag me. I follow them & share their posts. It’s the least I can do.

Thanks for sharing this Chris. I live close by & was horrified when I heard what had happened. The crime took place not long after I’d been fortunate to see a short eared owl not far from there & it was soul destroying to hear that two had been deliberately killed.

Ha ha, I just noticed my mistake. It did help improve my procrastination skills no end 😁

Yay!! Keith is on Blue Sky! I don’t think this is going to help my procrastination 🤣 #BM100

What a day! Missed my run yesterday as I was in the studio until late so I went this morning before I started work. What a joy to run in daylight & sunshine! I saw dippers too but didn’t get photos. It’s cold but glorious 😊

It’s my birthday today but it felt like it came early! Yesterday I spent the morning with one of my conservation heroes @brigitstrawbridge.bsky.social who wrote the wonderful Dancing with Bees. She and her husband Rob came to visit me in my studio & they brought me these lovely plants that Rob grew❤️

Oh no, what bad planning 🤣 I’m in my recovery week after Haworth Hobble so gym class this morning & Pilates tonight but I took the day off and had a nice walk in the lakes plus lunch at Chester’s & I might have a glass of wine tonight as it’s a special occasion. Happy 70th birthday! 🎈

Today was special. I finally got to meet one of my favourite artists @hestercoxprint.bsky.social at her studio in Horton-in-Ribblesdale. We have a few of Hester's collagraphs already, but having seen this one in 'real life' we found it impossible to resist! More here: www.hestercox.com #art #birds

This is another of my recent collagraphs. It’s called ‘Autumn Flight’ & is three separate layers. It will be at Great Print X at Rheged this April & I’m hoping to have one at @sunnybankmills.bsky.social Print Fair on the 1st March.

I’m still getting the hang of Blue Sky 😁 but came across the gorgeous dioramas by @batworthy.bsky.social & wanted to share them. It’s really nice to see something so different & original.

It’s the view (cropped) from down near the road looking up towards Betty’s Cottage which is the bungalow before you get to the big farm & hamlet near Penyghent footpath (Brackenbottom top end).
