janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 13/09/2026No to Leeds Data Centre and thanks you to Judith Kerr. 0122
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 07/09/2026This is a bit of a last minute post for Leeds dwellers, because most of the free tickets have gone, but there are a few left so if you turn up, (and you can always also enjoy most of Rush Hour Jazz) we will do our best to squeeze you in! Seven at 7 on the 9th! 010
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 28/06/2026The pleasures of rust on dock leaves. The first painting I have just completed, the second proved to be the first in the series although I didn’t know this at the time of making it, just a year ago. #watercolour #ink #dockleaves 061
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 13/05/2026New watercolour #dandelions #edgelands #docks #edgelands 030
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Should this etching be called “Chiffchaff - notes in the margin” or “Notes in the margin - chiffchaff” ? I tried out “Field notes” in my head but because it’s situated on marginal land, leftover untended edge land , I prefer margin. Please, your thoughts on word order. 230
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Scratching over and over again on new etching, trying to make sure that the fine lines have no unintentional gaps in them. This #etching is linked to the watercolours I have been working on for the last ten months. Still next to the footpath to the bustop but with an unusually visible #chiffchaff 060
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Printing “All change here”, and hoping by moving them to the sunny side of my house, they will be dry for Sunny Bank Print Festival on Saturday - the 7th of March from 10.00 until 5.00. #cuttingitfine #etching 040
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 20/02/2026The wonders of the modern equine.. so very talented- from today’s BBC website. BBC Wales. “The couple do all the cleaning, washing and maintenance - with the help of four Exmoor ponies who live on the land.” 020
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Fascinating difference in online & paper headlines for powerful Epstein analysis. “ Sex and snacks, but no place at the table: the role of women in Epstein’s sordid men’s club” v “ Epstein’s world: where powerful men matter and women exist to serve them”. What does it mean? 000
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Managed a good afternoon’s printing , though only managed one editional “All change here”. The other two “Primroses” and “My boy lollipop” are a bit more spring like; unlike today’s weather! 040
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Middle-aged etching has exciting week of great popularity…fresh off the press on Saturday and again on Wednesday. Definitely the context for an attack of the humble brags. “Roving brief”, long tailed tits still available for sale! 020
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 11/01/2026I always find it interesting to see where my etchings go, particularly those of a specific place. My portrait of Saint Aiden’s & the walking dragline,went off to London. As the buyer found me via an online site, I could not find out what connected them to the image, so I am just left to speculate ! 031
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 22/12/2025Wishing you all happy holidays and as delightful a 2026 as possible. The usual delays in analogue distribution ( I prefer the making to the writing ) means the paper versions are probably still in the postal system / box but should arrive … eventually. 010
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 15/12/2025Wearing a mask is a revelation into the human condition.The woman who will not wear a mask again and says vaccines are harmful; the maskwearer who says nothing makes a difference when your time is up. Not were these fellow patients but NHS phlebotomists spending their days taking blood and talking.. 010
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 04/11/2025You are invited to the official opening of this exhibition- Weds. 12th of Nov, 6.00 to 8.00, at Lidgett Lane Larder. 99 Lidgett Lane, LS8 1QR Unmissable ! But if you do miss it, or need to see it again, it’s on until January plus all that delicious food. What a combination. 020
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 26/10/2025If you are in or around N Leeds next Saturday, come and see me and other artists with work to tempt you … I have prints, cards and even some calendars; there are refreshments and a raffle… what could be more delightful?! 010
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 08/10/2025The last of the ‘Little Murmuration’s will be disappearing into the post at the beginning of next week( once they are dry!). Anyone feeling they have missed out may like to contemplate a fresh faced young etching cousin- ‘Venn Murmuration’. Message me for further details. 140
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Busy preparing for the weekend at Hebden Bridge Print Fair. Packing as much as possible into my wheely suitcase! Looking forward to seeing old friends and customers any of whom I may not instantly recognise. Advanced apologies but you do have a bit of an advantage over me….. 010
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 04/09/2025My etching “The good companions” based on the wonderful breeding storks located in E.Sussex @kneppwilding @whitestorkproject is part of the Wildlife Artist of the Year 2025 Exhibition. It will be on show in London’s Mall Galleries from the 9th to the 13th of Sept. 082
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 13/08/2025Glad I printed these two yesterday as even hotter today: - More breathing space and Song bird. Fulfilling orders and yes they are also available for sale! #yesidosellmywork and #getinyourUSAordersaheadofTrumpsnewtariffs 091
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Happy to say that my little Venn Murmuration etching, has got into the @southbank_printmakers Mini Print Exhibition at Gabrielle‘s Wharf in that London. It’ll be there from mid September. 6549
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 23/07/2025Lunch out to celebrate the second edition of of “Ted the Shed” written by Mandy Sutter and illustrated by me! A story of love, death and allotments. Available via www.mandysutter.com/books/ted-th... 030
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 04/07/2025I’ve been delivering prints to the wonderful Ropewalk Gallery in Barton and Humber. I am their Ms. July Etcher - no, they promote an artist’s work on long gallery shelves and this month it’s me. Go see, it’s a great gallery with a fab cafe. They gave me lunch- it was very good. 040
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 29/06/2025Not a print but a plant based painting, drawing on the tiny tangled wildness at the side of a footpath in the middle of suburban Leeds. It’s a riot of plant vigour, buzzing with insects and birdsong. I love it there. 0153

janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 25/06/2025I know, not an etching, what am I up to? And why am I posting it here? Not much idea. Watercolour and ink is what I have tended to do on holiday , instead I am feeling intrigued by the tangles of plants along a footpath a hundred yards away. Etchings may emerge, or not! 061
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 22/06/2025New etching with aquatint. It’s called Venn Murmuration. Only 10 x 10cm so a bit of a #miniprint. Fresh off the press. 0298
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 19/06/2025In the changing room at the gym next to a woman with two very small children called Harold and George. Longed to ask whether she was attempting the re- creation of the Labour government of the 1960s but restrained myself! 010
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Currently engaged in polyamarous printmaking. Really tend to prefer monogamy simply for clear headedness. Anyway here is the copper plate for an #etching where the title was the first element to arrive: #Venn #Murmuration 160
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 09/06/2025And this is how it ended up with the aquatint added. Now called “Dappled things - Hackfall”. 1175
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Best ever photo of the “flying” squirrel. I’ve no idea why it’s in focus. Good leaping the pesky little devil, then I banged on the window and it fell off the bird feeder. 030
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Biting a somewhat ambiguous bullet and applying an aquatint to this small (15x15 cm) etching of Hackfall Woods. Was tempted to leave it as below , but I’m not renowned for managing that kind of precise restraint, anyway we shall see! 030
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 21/05/2025First set of scratchings nearly done- another view of Hackfall woods, such a magical place. Made for the Gallery at Masham’s, “A particular place” exhibition in the summer. #etching #woods #woodlandtrust 040
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 09/05/2025#freshoffthepress Good afternoon’s printing- Bracken edge, More Breathing Space - and brand new and as yet untitled, featuring this year’s primroses… any thoughts on names, lovely blueskyers?! Rewards for one which I use and I’d prefer it to be a little more complex than Primroses, my current idea. 020
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Latest print #freshoffthepress Allotment fox 030
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Wrens flying out of the studio very fast… though all are actually going in the same direction. For £99 plus postage one can fly to your place…. 030
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 01/04/2025New #etching the product of all that scratching. It looks ok at phone screen size but has some odd unbitten areas which I hope can be sorted through judicious aquatint use. Needs a bit of strengthening. Does not just go right first time! #fox #allotment 070
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 08/03/2025A printing day- one older and one brand new. ‘Crow’s nest’ is suddenly in demand again and this is the first of the finished edition of ‘Copse’. Running a bit low on names for groups of trees. 020
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 01/03/2025It’s today and tomorrow! Sunny Banks Print Festival, 10.00 to 4.00. 131
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 26/02/2025www.sunnybankmills.co.uk/arts/gallery... It’s the coming weekend- not to be missed. Lots of printmakers, including myself will be there from 10.00 to 4.00 @sunnybankmills Saturday and Sunday! 020
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 23/02/2025A good afternoon’s printing, funny how often I get orders for out of stock items! Almost at the end of the edition for #hackfall oak and my new #Wren in the hedgerow appears to be popular. Message me if you’d like one of your own of either! #freshoffthepress 030
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 21/02/2025I will be at @sunnybankmills on Saturday &Sunday,the 1st & 2nd March, 10.00 to 4.00. There’ll be etchings and cards. Lots of new work including my Leeds aerial view “All change here” and a whole mill’s worth of other printmakers. 4 more information - www.sunnybankmills.co.uk/arts/gallery... 010
Reposted by janisgoodmanetcherLewis Goodall @lewisgoodall.com · 21/02/2025Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House.

janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Fruits of today’s pressings. First proof of another woodland print - will soon be running short of names for small woods. Plus Heronry, a real February scene, based on the island in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. 051
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Printed my #etching “The good companions”,of the storks nesting @kneppwilding We had a great few days camping there. The birds are part of the @whitestorkproject. The etching is one of my favourites but is not yet a bestseller. Perhaps when storks get as far as Yorkshire, which would be a thrill! 060
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Fresh off the press.. think it’s a while since I printed “Heard it through the grapevine”. It’s always a mystery to me, which etchings will be the most popular - though I now know “More breathing space “, certainly is! 050
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Three spring like etchings to celebrate #Imbolc - or the start of spring! #Heronry #Springwalk and #Drifting 1123
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Not quite sure whether this year’s first new etching needs a bit more refining or if it’s done… For once I’ve got a name for it:- “Thicket” or possibly “Thicket near the Brackenwood turning circle“ ! 4114
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 07/01/2025First proof of my “thicket” etching. May be a bit too much of a tangle at the moment. Hoping that a light aquatint might ( literally!) sort the wood from the trees. 030
janisgoodmanetcher @janisgoodmanetcher.bsky.social · 04/01/2025The first off the press in 2025- always a relief to get orders done and drying. Murmuration lll and More breathing space. 141
