A couple of months ago I invested in some Pfeil lino cutting tools. I then purchased a Flexcut Slip Strop so I could keep them sharp while carving. This is a short review of my experience purchasing the Flexcut Slip Strop, and afterwards using this product. Hopefully, this might help out others who are considering buying a Slip Strop to sharpen their lino cutting tools. Carving, Couple, Wood Carvings, Printing, Sculptures, Couples

This year I started hand-printing greeting cards in my studio. I saw this as a way to diversify my income from art, provide me with new creative design briefs, and give my supporters an affordable way to access hand-printed items. I recently put together a video that shows the printing process for my hand-coloured greeting cards… Hand Coloring, Briefs, Printing Process, Creative Design, Daisy, Give It To Me

I have tried lots of different ways to store various art supplies. My ink tubes have been in baskets, food containers, and even in pencil cases, but I have always wanted better ink tube storage. I needed a way to keep my tubes of ink all in one easy to access place. Another requirement was that the labels on each tube would be visible. I dropped off some donations to our local 2nd hand store the other day, and decided to have a wander around.... Pencil Cases, Food Containers, Art Supplies, Wander, Baskets, Tube

The sky outside at home had been grey for days. In fact the weather experts were telling us it had been eight days since we last saw sunshine. Apparently the record had recently been broken by a moment that morning when the sun had struggled through the clouds for 12 minutes before disappearing behind the grey gloom again. I must have been inside packing my bag. The Eighth Day, The Outsiders, Sunshine, Packing, Weather, Clouds

Normally, when you are printing an edition, you are striving to make each print in the edition as close to identical as possible. With a variable edition (also called a “varied edition“) most of the image information is still coming from the plates, but the artist is intentionally manipulating the printing in some way.

Sketching when I travel and explore the great outdoors is an essential part of my art. Not only does it provide regular drawing practice, the sketches provide inspiration for many of the prints that I later create back in the studio. By working from sketches rather than photos you are more likely to capture the feeling and movement of a place. Drawing Practice, The Great Outdoors, Sketching, Explore, Studio
