I was off gallivanting at a gig (no surprises there) the other week and had a quick scribble as I listened to a solo musician called Y Pregethwr (The Preacher) who played an extraordinary, haunting and avant garde set.

Gallivanting!
My beloved Nana and family and friends of her generation often said “gallivanting”, usually in a slightly critical way, “Are you off gallivanting AGAIN?” It’s a word that I don’t hear so much anymore, so I’m going to use it more often. I was off gallivanting at a gig (no surprises there) the other weekContinue reading “Gallivanting!”
Book Binding And Jam
A few months ago, artist members of Swansea Print Workshop got together to make a book featuring 25 original prints to celebrate our 25th anniversary this year. Twenty three artists took part and we’ve been working in groups to assemble the concertina books. I did mine today. I’m thrilled to bits! I love it. MyContinue reading “Book Binding And Jam”
#Caturday Archives: 22
Here’s a very old sketch of the late, great Bobbit. We had her as a kitten of 8 weeks way back in the summer of 1994, and this sketch is from 2011, when she was enjoying the sun by dozing in a drain! She died a few weeks later aged 17, enjoying the sunshine andContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 22”
Printing In The Sunshine
I coated some Bockingford papers with cyanotype chemicals last week and today, after a week of up-and-down weather, I took advantage of the brilliant sunshine to make some sunprints, using transparencies that I’ve had for ages. I originally used them for screenprints so it’s nice to reuse them with a different technique. Here’s the coatedContinue reading “Printing In The Sunshine”
Let The Train Take The Strain.
One of my Mari Lwyd linocuts (detail below) features in the current exhibition at the Queen Street Gallery in Neath. The gallery is lovely and Neath is a great little town with a good market, an ancient standing stone, a Roman fort, a Medieval castle, and some tasty eateries. The Gallery is just a fewContinue reading “Let The Train Take The Strain.”
Sketchbook Archives: 36 – Just Sitting
Some more scribbles from my sketchbooks, this time from December 2013 when I seemed to be sitting in a lot of places with other people just sitting.
Rubbing The Cat With Graphite!
I carried on today with the miniprint design I started a few days ago, using my smallest Flexcut tools. I put a piece of tracing paper over the lino and rubbed it hard with graphite block to see if I’d cut away everything I wanted to. I also gave the lino block a rub with the graphite,Continue reading “Rubbing The Cat With Graphite!”
A Bit Surreal
Here are the other happy accidents I made at Swansea Print Workshop in the week. These are pages of newspapers that I put underneath some cloths soaked in cyanotype chemicals to dry. Once I took them out of the dark room, the colours began to change and I took a digital photo at a particularlyContinue reading “A Bit Surreal”
#Caturday Archives: 21
Here’s a blast from the past for this week’s #Caturday Saturday, from 2011. Husb and I had two naughty torties, Bobbit and Ming. They hated each other but had to learn to live together for many years. I drew this just a few weeks before Bobbit died, of very old age. She was very poorlyContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 21”
