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.”
#StandingStoneSunday
Here’s a favourite standing stone that I painted in the field while I was out and about with Dewi Bowen as he was researching his new book “Hunting The Wild Megalith”. It’s Garreg Coch in Carmarthenshire and it’s been protected for many years by a barbed wire fence. We’ll be at The Workers Gallery onContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday”

Suffering For My Art!
I had a fab evening out last week, up The Workers, a lovely gallery in the village of Ynyshir in the Rhondda Valley. On the first Thursday of each month, they host an evening of Words, Arts and Music (WAM) and I was part of it this month. I did a talk about myContinue reading “Suffering For My Art!”
Drawn To Monotype
I’ve been searching through my older work today. I do it from time to time because I find it helps me to analyse what I’m doing now. And also it reminds me what I have tucked away in my plans chest, often things I had forgotten. These two reminded me how crucial drawing is toContinue reading “Drawn To Monotype”
A Little Bit Of Kimono
Here are a couple more heads I scribbled last night at the WAM (Words Art Music) monthly event at the excellent Workers Gallery in Ynyshir. I did my usual thing of being an art voyeur, scribbling people’s likenesses when they were absorbed in what was going on. I am very fond of this tiny sketchbook,Continue reading “A Little Bit Of Kimono”
WAM
It’s late and Husb and I are just back from a great evening at the lovely Workers Gallery in Ynyshir in the Rhondda Valley. We went to the monthly WAM (Words, Art, Music) event which is held on the first Thursdays. Of course I had a scribble, catching the faces of people in the audienceContinue reading “WAM”
