Bridget Farmer: Dry Point Etching Printing Process

Viewing new work from favourite artist's always excites me, and doubly so when they share their process too. I have previously mentioned the work of Bridget Farmer and how much I adore her bird etchings. 

Well now she has a beautiful new Pheasant Etching...


and has written a detailed post about her technique for inking the plate with various colours and the treatment of the paper and finally the printing. I find it all fascinating. Head over here to see for yourself!

Printing notebooks and carving stamps

I have restocked my Etsy shop! It's been a while as life has been taking many different and unexpected turns this year. There are some new hand carved stamps,




and I've also added 3 notebooks which I printed using my deer, sewing machine and sea urchin linocuts. I have made a few of the sea urchin ones (although none are exactly the same) however there will be only one listing each of the deer and the sewing machine notebooks.






Hope you're enjoying a great week. C xo
