So lovely to have a focus on my printmaking for November at @gurnardshead

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2OGoPhZ

I was thinking about illuminated manuscripts and icon paintings with this one ...

Looking forward to taking part in this exhibition at @morvahschoolhousegallery ... It looks like it will be a great show!

Occasionally I work in clay... Not often enough but my ideas are usually similar across media .... Animals, birds and something to represent humans/contemporary culture (often a pattern or narrative)

I also had to balance a Hare on a golden ball ...I dreamt of Hares a few nights ago on the field behind my house they were chasing the rabbits away...

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2QxyfxH

Happy Monday ! Leaping into a new week with this Hare .... Hares are linked symbolically with ambition, fitness and virtue also associated with change in leaps and bounds ....

Getting ready for a group exhibition at @morvahschoolhousegallery beginning next week, not exactly sure what I will show yet but this may be one... . . .

I have noticed increasing numbers of starlings lately and mini murmurations as I drive home.. i must get over to the @rspb_love_nature reserve at Marazion soon to see them returning to roost ❤

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Qt12U5

I have been gettinga little carried away with gold lately... But still like these little accidental happenings with the masking papers

I have found some wonderful information and ancient stories much of which is compiled here, in a blog by Terri Wilding https://ift.tt/2yVcalZ The image is a painting from a few years ago of a Hare named after a woman burnt as a witch called Bridget who was said to transform in to a Witch to escape capture...

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Ov3esr

Happy with my first tests of these Hare plates looking forward to taking them further ...

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2qyHjHv

I have been cutting a few hare plates this morning not sure if they are big enough but will do a few test prints later... What are your favourite hare stories?

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2SP2zpl

I have been thinking about icon painting, illuminated manuscripts and nature (or more specifically birds) as sacred again... #thinkingoutloud #practiceasresearch #inthestudio

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Do4Tza

This calling rook also hopped off to an exhibition at the weekend ... To appear shortly at @artisan.tremenheere

Slightly blurred photo of Goliath just before he was finished ... He is due to pop up at the @gurnardshead shortly if you would like a closer look....

Just came across this lovely poem and wanted to share it with you :) #thepeaceofwildthings #wendellberry

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2JEfp5o

We spent sometime around Sancreed today surrounded by the song of rooks as we wandered down to the holy well .... One of my favourite birds

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2D18HVX

Just came across this poem by #robertmcfarlane with art work by @nickhayesillustration

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2AIOxP0

I have enjoyed painting this little chap ... Even though I am like a block of ice now... So cold in my studio... Awful light to photograph so here is a snippet ...

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2PFIQtk

Painting today ... After a break (in favour of printmaking) it's good to be back to it

Collection of camouflaged birds

Camouflaged raven .... Just playing ..

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2OgaCbf

I keep posting these in the hope I will work out where to take them next...

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2yKbtvX

The view from here.... I often wonder what the birds think of us as they watch us in traffic queue's from power lines .... . . . ..#linocut #printmaking #monotype #monoprint #lino #jackdaw #cornwallart #wip #myth #folklore #folktale #fairytale #illustration #contemporaryprintmaking #humananimalrelationship #ukprintmakers #get_imprinted #contemporaryprintmaking #printmakingtoday #creativeinspiration #happyaccident #patterndesign #patternmaking #repeatpattern #paperartist #printandpattern #sketchbook #inthestudio #collageart

More happy accidents :)

Yaay...also have a little spo on the Cornwall Crafts Association Website....

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Pqc9Ac

Very excited to be leaving this and a few others with @cornwall_crafts at the @national_trust_trelissick gallery to be included shortly in their latest exhibition

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2SqFLMc

Some time ago I made this monotype as part of a set of crow fable illustrations ... The Swallow and the Crow had an argument one day about their plumage. Said the Swallow: “Just look at my bright and downy feathers. Your black stiff quills are not worth having. Why don’t you dress better? Show a little pride!” “Your feathers may do very well in spring,” replied the Crow, “but—I don’t remember ever having seen you around in winter, and that’s when I enjoy myself most.”

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2EX6lKa

I need more Crow and Raven stories and characters to hold in the back of my mind while developing some more of these, any suggestions?. . . . . #linocut #printmaking #monotype #monoprint #lino #raven #cornwallart #artexhibition #artforsale #myth #folklore #folktale #fairytale #ravenart #illustration #contemporaryprintmaking #humananimalrelationship #ukprintmakers #get_imprinted #contemporaryprintmaking #printmakingtoday #creativeinspiration #darkart

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2D7OGh9

Definitely want to create some more of these (made completely by accident) .... They seem to suggest narrative, myth, folk tale fable ... I know quite a few crow and raven stories, which are your favourites?

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2SjUdFT

I think maybe this one should be called king of Phrygia as there are only so many I can refer to as Midas ... Jackdaw and a golden ball #linocut with #monoprint

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2qa6TCc

Still enjoying playing with ideas around these monoprint/linocuts I like that this one may also speak of a need for balance or a fragile and precarious state ..... . . . ...........#linocut #printmaking #monotype #monoprint #lino #raven #cornwallart #artexhibition #artforsale #cornwallwildlife #wildlifeart #birdart #birdartist #art #illustration #contemporaryprintmaking #humananimalrelationship #ukprintmakers #get_imprinted #contemporaryprintmaking #printmakingtoday

I saw this and felt inspired so I ordered mine straight away...cant wait to see it #Repost @alisonbickdesigns (@get_repost) ・・・ Are you a designer/maker trying to build a business out of doing something that you love? Then I highly recommend that you get the Dream Plan Do 2019 journal from @thedesigntrust It will help you track your business over the course of a year, with monthly themes and juicy goals to achieve. It’s bumper packed full of useful business advice completely tailored to the creative industries. Sometimes it’s hard to get going, to feel motivated or keep in track, or it just feels too scary to just do it? right? So I’m going to be part of the new monthly Dream Plan Do Accountability groups in the Uk, here in Cornwall, where local Dream Plan Do’ers will get together each month and help, support and encourage each other through the themes. If you have bought a 2019 Dream Plan Do and live in Cornwall and fancy being part of my group then get in touch.. In the meantime you can currently pre-order Dream Plan Do on The Design Trust’s website, and there is a lot more info on there about what you can expect in the 2019 planner.
