Today I was down at Swansea Print Workshop and one of the little squeegees gave up the ghost, the old rubber blade split. No problem, it can be repaired. I removed the three crosshead screws holding it into the wooden handle and prised the broken blade out with a flathead screwdriver, wriggling it at bothContinue reading “Squeegee Rescue”

Cat Cut Outs
I traced a drawing I did recently of Bill, our new rescue cat, and used it as a template to cut some cat shapes to have a play with. I recently recycled some textured papers, old prints that had been rejected. I squeegeed some acrylic inks across their surfaces to see what happened. Bill’s silhouetteContinue reading “Cat Cut Outs”
Bellies And Budgie Smugglers.
I’m decluttering, sorting and storing loads of old work and I’ve been skimming through some old sketchbooks, loads of things I’ve forgotten. Here’s a page of sketches from the beach probably, about 9 years ago. There’s a good range of male body types here – the bellies are fun to draw but it’s surprising howContinue reading “Bellies And Budgie Smugglers.”
Old Sketches And Warm Welsh Cakes.
I’m on a mission to sort out my art cupboards, declutter and store things properly. I’ve been flicking through old sketchbooks and finding all sorts of things I’d forgotten about, like these little thumbnail figure drawings, probably drawn from a book …. I can’t remember. They’re fun though. I also made some Welsh Cakes. They’reContinue reading “Old Sketches And Warm Welsh Cakes.”
A Green Man In The City.
Husb and I popped along to an event in Swansea’s City Centre on Saturday, drawing attention to the proposed Skyline development on Kilvey Hill, which is a much loved and valuable nature reserve reclaimed from industrial pollution. This Green Man turned up. He was very tall. And leafy. When I was little, the hill wasContinue reading “A Green Man In The City.”
More Fun With Photoshop: Bill’s Story 2.
I had so much fun with Photoshop and William ChatNoir (aka Bill) yesterday that I had another go today. I put Bill through a Poster Edges filter and then into a Gradient Map with Orange, Yellow, Red and Blue. Poster Edges really picked out the subtle patterns on the voile curtain. Bill is an elderlyContinue reading “More Fun With Photoshop: Bill’s Story 2.”
#Caturday: Fun With Photoshop: Bill’s Story 1.
I took a few photos of our new rescue kitty, William ChatNoir, or Bill for short, on our window seat, backlit against the spiral net curtain. She’s a black cat and the photos are perfect silhouettes in black and white, and I fancied playing with some of them in Adobe Photoshop. I ramped up theContinue reading “#Caturday: Fun With Photoshop: Bill’s Story 1.”
#InternationalBlackCatDay
Today is #InternationalBlackCatDay and here’s our not-very-international black cat Bill (short for William ChatNoir – blame Husb – he’s a Trekkie). She’s been with us for about 3 months now and she came via the Cats Protection rescue centre in Bridgend (she was originally Phoebe). Husb and I had been thinking about adopting an olderContinue reading “#InternationalBlackCatDay”
#Caturday! Kitty Surprise!
It’s #Caturday Saturday and here’s a wacky photo of a surprised Sparta Puss with a little kitty pal who looks, frankly, a bit wooden 😉
#Caturday with bubble wrap.
Just a bit of fun for #Caturday. I was doing some monotype prints the other day, using Gelli plates and bubble wrap and I picked up this rag from the rag bin, a piece of cotton covered with little cartoon cats. After I finished printing each colour – Process Magenta and Process Cyan – IContinue reading “#Caturday with bubble wrap.”
