Made some flowers. This was a pretty small print, like 10 x 12 cm

This is a unique hand made cyanotype on watercolour paper (11” x 14”) with an image of my Eastern tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) butterfly linocut on a cyanotype image of leaves and flowers.

Part of my scheme of removing invasive plants and turning them into art!

Mit den Zapfen habe ich damals Lava Press gestartet. In der Zwischenzeit sind viele Farb- und Papiervariationen entstanden. Ob auf Weiß, Grün oder Graspapier; nur die Zapfen oder mit goldenem Schatten: es gibt sie in vielen Geschmacksrichtungen.

Die Poster könnt ihr in A4 und A3 auf https://lavapress.de kaufen.

This #EarthDay I see that the Turtle Survival Alliance is launching their 5th Annual Turtle Month so I thought I would share these two prints they commissioned of turtles supporting the Earth featuring endangered turtle species of special focus: one for turtles from North America, and one for turtles from around the world. TSA works to prevent extinctions of these amazing and varied animals worldwide, so I was very glad to make art for this cause!

Born on this day: #physicist J. R. Oppenheimer (1904-1967). While best remembered for his role in the Manhattan Project, he was a giant of 20th century theoretical physics, nominated for a Nobel 3 times. ⁠
⁠
In 1927 he & Max Born greatly simplified how we predict electrons behaviour within atoms. The Born-Oppenheimer or adiabatic approximation is based on the observation that electrons are 1000s times lighter than nuclei, 1/n

Happy birthday to #geochemist Charles David Keeling (1928 - 2005) whose decades long observations of CO2 in air samples from Mauna Loa Observatory were some of the 1st direct data to show the human contribution to greenhouse effect & global warming. The ‘Keeling Curve’ (in copper & red) shows both the seasonal variations (the wiggles) & the strong upward trend with time as the greenhouse gas built up in the atmosphere.

My village had a festival so i opened my studio to “the public” for a free #printmaking activity. We repurposed a linen tablecloth, it brought lots of people joy, and these log cabin patches will hopefully be incorporated in future #craft #sewing projects!

That was a lot of fun and a lot of people at once. I’m grateful to get to share what I love with others-and also ready for solitude with books and art supplies. Hope you are having a good weekend!

I got some printmaking stuff for Christmas but I keep trying to make the design too complicated and the blocks haven't been usable, so today I went really simple. There are loads of things "wrong" with it (including a cat hair over the word "love"!) but I absolutely adore it.

Hope the Easter bunny is good to you!
Or that you enjoy the chocolate sales next week.

‘Cottontail in the cosmos’ is a handprinted lino block print on lovely, delicate Japanese paper of a little cottontail rabbit sitting amongst the garden cosmos (also called Mexican aster flowers). The flowers are a mix of white and purple-pink. Each print is 8” by 10” (20.3 cm by 25.4 cm) and printed by hand.

A print of a neighbor of mine. Inspired by photos by @lzg, I've also started taking pictures of the dogs I encounter in my walks.

Another older rabbit print, I made this linocut as part of my Chinese zodiac series. I wanted the rabbit to appear bathed in moonlight to allude to the myth of the moon rabbit, companion of Chang’e the moon goddess, continually pounding the elixir of life with mortar and pestle.

Raccoon Greetings for National High Five Day! This is a portrait of a former neighbour who showed up at my back door like this, to enquire as to where I had moved the compost bin. So I took his photo and made a print.
