Today - pictures!

This is a collagraph, inked with the a la poupee method and run through the press.It later became a cover for one of my books.








This is a favourite of mine, a linoprint which I did for the inaugural awards last year. It is hand coloured. 

Okay the brains have had enough not it's the bodies tun for some exercise.  We are off for a walk.

  1. Lovely prints. I think you'll really enjoy making an edition of books that show off your printing skills. Just shows me how limited my own skills are...

  3. Hi Alison, a little late visiting, but better late that never. Thanks for your comment over at mine. Your lino print is magnificent! Not sure now whether you're in my group but I certainly hope so!

  6. Wow! thank you for your comments Annie and Rosie. It is encouraging to actually see that it is being read. Also I just love to know what other artist's /printmakers think of the works, I am happy to have any critism, good or constructive as that is how we all learn.
    I do apolagise for not adding to my site but life is busy.This blog business is still something I need to practise.Besides my blog techer who is ever so generous with her time and knowledge has been away and also a very busy lady.
    I am putting out a call for help please if anyone knows where I MAYBE could buy a set of printing letters, you know the old fashioned alphabet type where I can form my own sentences and paragraphs.Any help is gratefully accepted thank you.
    Alison.
