I’ve finished printing a load of little Mari Lwyd linocut prints for Hen Galan cards in mid-January. As far as I know there isn’t an official collective noun for lots of Mari Lwyds, but quite a few people on social media have suggested a Mischief of Maris, to reflect the naughty, sometimes bawdy, nature of the tradition. I’ve printed in black ink onto 5 different colours of hand-made sari and wool papers.
A Mischief of Maris

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D View more posts


The colors are lovely, Rosie. I especially like the purple.
Thanks Aletha, very very old tradition 🙂
