Full moons, sand in toes, printing tees, sleeping cat, onions at the community garden πŸ’š

It's Lughnasadh - the start of harvest season 🌾 Although given the drought it's not a very happy harvest season for a lot of growers.

I'm itching to make prints and do some new lino designs, I've got ideas for wall hangings and new T-shirts too... But in the middle of house move and trying to keep everything tidy and start packing - I know I need to hold off .... Here's to have having more space to make lovely things!

Playing with printing on tshirts - second hand ones, I don't feel comfortable with putting even more items of clothes out into the world...unless I can source fully recycled ones at a reasonable price?

Been nice getting some walking and foraging in as well. I didn't forage far for the rose petals - these are from the garden πŸ˜‰ I try and get loads in summer to keep me going when it's dark outside. I put them into my yoghurt and porridge etc. I also got some meadowsweet that I've dried for tea... But I always convince myself that things I've picked are in fact lethal and I've misidentified them 🀣

Listened to a great podcast episode with forager Megan Howlett and The Embracing Magick Podcastβ„’ which has renewed my enthusiasm 🌞

Best place to buy my prints is currently Cousin Norman's 🌞

I'm not signed up for any markets as I will hopefully be moving to Devon in the next few months, and trying to make prints etc whilst starting to think about packing isn't compatible!!

I do have a few prints that aren't up at Norms, so if there is anything you have your eye on just message me and I'll sort you out!

Anyone in vicinity that knows some good markets or shops for selling lovely linoprints please get in touch! It would be nice to connect with people in the area πŸ’š

I love a big print!! Hard to photograph in this crazy bright sunshine 🌞
I gave up my allotment earlier this year as we are relocating to Devon in a couple of months - and I really miss growing my borlotti beans and giant butter beans.

I've only printed one so far - mainly because I did this one for myself!! But if you would like one they are Β£65 and printed to order - I have lots of colours if you want something other than the green πŸ’š

Main carving is done! My hand hurts!! I know I should do a little bit at a time and take breaks... But then I sit down and hours go by without me noticing!

Now to do a test print and tidy up and noise that needs sorting πŸ‘πŸΎ
