The Haul

  This year I entered the Leftovers IX print exchange, organised through Wingtip Press in Idaho, USA. It’s a great premise; use up all those lovely little leftover scraps of printmaking paper and produce a small edition of miniature prints; send them off to Boise, Idaho; wait a few months; get a dozen prints byContinue reading “The Haul”

The Huddle

Husb and I went to an event at the excellent Cinema & Co this evening, a showing of the Leonardo di Caprio documentary, “After The Flood”,  organised by the Swansea Ecobricks Community. The film was really good, there was a pop-up kitchen provided by Goggi – gorgeous vegetable byriani with chick pea curry and aContinue reading “The Huddle”

There were differences between the culverts; different plants,Continue reading “Just In Case….”

I loved her work, mostly on paper – some of it huge- and using her own home-made oak gall ink. It’s similar in colour and texture toContinue reading “Home Made Inks”

Splodges Of Watercolour

I went to a birthday party in a fabulous garden in Llwynhendy last weekend and of course, I had to have a scribble. I sat near the pond as dusk was falling and did a very quick sketch with ballpoint pen into my A6 hardbound sketchbook. Then I added some splodges of watercolour. I didn’tContinue reading “Splodges Of Watercolour”
