Just doing a quick check on the carving so far, using good quality tracing paper and a block of graphite. It’s a bit rough and ready but gives me an idea about how much cutting I need to do on this woodblock. I started carving it as a demonstration piece on an adult education sessionContinue reading “Just Checking ….”

Carving With Different Tools…
Carrying on carving my little piece of plywood. I like experimenting with my Flexcut tools. Some printmakers restrict themselves to a couple or three tools but I like to try them all out, they give interesting textures.
#Caturday Cushions.
“Greetings Hoomins. Sparta Puss here. It’s been too long since I last got my paws on the Pooter Box. The she-monkey has been keeping me away from it! The hairless apes have been busy faffing around in the house and garden, they say we’re moving. I don’t know what that means but things around hereContinue reading “#Caturday Cushions.”
Drawing To Carving…
I sat on a bench on Kilvey Hill and did a very quick charcoal sketch of some trees. Then I redrew it onto a piece of plywood and started carving. Once the carving is finished, I’ll ink it and print it.
#Caturday Extra…
Bill sat on the table earlier. I should have shoo-ed her off but she was throwing some good poses so I had a very quick scribble before she jumped down.
It’s Caturday Saturday
It’s Saturday Caturday and here’s Sparta Puss asleep on my Flexcut cutting tools. She wasn’t too impressed that I was getting on with some art stuff and not giving her enough attention (enough is never enough!) so she subverted me!
The Guitarist …
Husb and I went to a gig on Saturday, but more of that another day. I had to have a scribble, of course, and I spotted this young guitarist who had a really unusual look, so I sketched her.
Rhythms In The Garden ….
Every year, a chum holds a garden party on her birthday. Her organic garden is fantastic, hewn from a steep and uncompromising hillside, every inch of ground packed with exquisite flora. No flashy architectural hard landscaping, no astroturf, just the outcome of years of hard work and a great love of plants. I don’t findContinue reading “Rhythms In The Garden ….”
The Welsh May Cat: Y Gath Mis Mai…
Sparta Puss, our 14 year old Naughty Tortie, is a bit of a rampaging murderous scourge of anything smaller than her that moves. Worse than that, she brings her prey into the house. People tell us she’s bringing us ‘presents’ but you know, I’d rather go without her little gifts. The worst thing of allContinue reading “The Welsh May Cat: Y Gath Mis Mai…”
