I used my little Mari Lwyd lino block in three ways during my one-day residency at The Workers Gallery in the Rhondda Valley. First, to print onto a cotton shirt, then overprinting on top of circular monotypes, and finally I printed the block on some marbled papers I had made a few months back. IContinue reading “Marbled Mari: 1”

Pink And Yellow Maris.
Here are some different colourways of my little Mari Lwyd lino block and Gel Plate monotypes that I was experimenting with during my residency at The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir last week. It’s a lovely place, do try and visit if you can. The Gel prints were made with Cranfield Safe Wash Relief inks in Process Yellow,Continue reading “Pink And Yellow Maris.”
Green And Yellow Mari.
I had fun overprinting my little Mari Lwyd lino block onto some circular Gel Plate monotypes. The monotypes were done using fruit nets and bubble wrap and Cranfield Safe-Wash relief inks mixed heavily with Extender. The three primary Process colours, overlaid, give a lovely range of secondary colours and tertiary tones. I was experimenting duringContinue reading “Green And Yellow Mari.”
Monotype And Mari Lwyd.
I spent a day up The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir yesterday and took a small lino block of a Mari Lwyd I cut a couple of years ago. I thought I’d try doing different things with it. I printed a border on a cheap cotton shirt (here) and then I switched inks and printed Mari’sContinue reading “Monotype And Mari Lwyd.”
Mari Lwyd On My Shirt!
I did my one-day artist residency at The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir today and had a great time, some really fascinating people came into the gallery and first off, I used my Mari Lwyd lino block to print up a cotton shirt, a cheap buy from TK Maxx, with Speedball Fabric Block Printing Ink. Husb and I made our own MariContinue reading “Mari Lwyd On My Shirt!”
Pop!
Now that I’ve made the decision to go all Pop Art with the “Triples” paintings I’m working on, the work is going quickly. Using a black line in a comic book style really appeals to me. Loads more to do as there are 15 portraits in 5 paintings. I hope I don’t hit another creativeContinue reading “Pop!”
Pushing Through The Block.
I posted a couple of weeks ago about how I’d hit a creative block with my “Triples” paintings, I didn’t know which way to go with them. I had some really positive encouragement from other artists and after a lot of thought (well, agonising really) I told myself to stop being so precious and makeContinue reading “Pushing Through The Block.”
Mari Lwyd, The Workers And Me.
Here’s some shameless self-promotion for my one-day artist residency at The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir this coming Friday. I’ll be bringing the flat-pack Mari Lwyd that Husb and I made from a kit designed by David Pitt for TRAC. It includes the outfit I printed with a Mari Lwyd design cut into a lino block.Continue reading “Mari Lwyd, The Workers And Me.”
Life Imitates Art.
Husb and I were having a picnic the other day on the banks of the River Tawe, opposite a newly built office block and we spotted these 2 pigeons on the edge, in front of the reflections of the building. It didn’t look real, the reflections seem like a very lovely piece of graphic designContinue reading “Life Imitates Art.”
Mari Lwyd – A Short Film.
Here’s a 1 minute film of some of my drawings of Mari Lwyds. I drew them en plein air at various Mari Lwyd “Meets” across South Wales, mostly before the Covid19 lockdown. The “Meets” are slowly returning and I’m looking forward to being out and about with them again in the coming Midwinter and NewContinue reading “Mari Lwyd – A Short Film.”
