I’ve missed about a month of #printpromptmonday. Ugh, so sad. Work’s been hectic and today I was piecing together vellum for my Frog Block screen print. That’s all I’ve got to show today. #screenprint #textiledesign #printsky

I made a few samples of my new “Knitting” print before deciding to make some changes and re-burn the screen. It was a pain to reclaim the screen, but it’ll be worth it in the end. I handprint and sew each tote. This one is made for small knitting projects. #knitting #screenprint #textiledesign

#printpromptmonday #inprocess Though it looks simple, this is one of my hardest prints to pull. Rainbow is 6 colors on 3 screens, which create 11 colors. #blueskyartshow #contemporaryart #womensart #printmaking #printmaker #art #serigraphs #screenprint #screenprinter #silkscreen #handprint #texiles

A white cotton tea towel screenprinted with 6 transparent, and bright, overlapping colors, which appear to be brush strokes, creating a rainbow of colors.

I love coming home from my studio, aka The Icebox, which is very chilly in winter, and curling up on the couch with my dog nearby and an iPencil in hand. Normally, I like to draw at my desk with a real pencil. #sketching #natureinspired #womensartbluesky #floraandfauna #woodland #art willywaw.com

Thought I’d share a photo of the sweetest press I bought several years ago. How cute is that wheel! It was well worth the wait from S. Africa to Rhode Island. 12x17 inch bed. RLV Etching Presses, E300 www.etsy.com/shop/EtchingPressshop #printmaking #printingpress #printmaker #etchingpress

#printpromptmonday #inmotion Seaweed is my favorite subject. I love the movement, flow and its wildly organic nature. This was a quick test, made with 2 overlapping and repeating lino blocks, on my (then) new RLV E300 Press. Sweet 12x17 bed. #seaweed www.etsy.com/shop/EtchingPressshop

#PrintPromptMonday #indoors My mom loves paperwhites (me, not so much!) and grows them indoors on a windowsill by the sink. I screenprinted this 2 color design on cotton tea towels and canvas for Mother’s Day a few years ago. #screenprint #mothersday #paperwhites #springbulbs #teatowels #flowers

I’m working on a screen print for canvas, called “Knitting”. The inspiration started with an iPencil doodle, while trying out a vector outline brush. Waiting for new emulsion to burn the screen. #screenprinting

A labor of love - handprinted, linen herb sachets, filled with a mix of lavender, balsam, clove, cinnamon, orange, and peppermint. Each one is sewn shut by hand. Place them in a drawer, closet or in your car. They smell really good, with a natural, light scent. Just the herbs, no added fragrance.
