So what’re you reading? Ive been making these hand-finished lino-print bookmarks for when you get to curl up with a book. They have an old-fashioned, slightly gothic feel with their dark colours and distressed gold. Each one is a little bit different and would be lovely to give as a present - with or without a book. Ill be selling these and some hand-printed cards to raise funds for two charities next weekend at
The Artists & Makers Collective, David Hughes Centre, Beaumaris

If you’d like one for £7.50 plus postage please DM me.

‘The Gap’. I’ve had a couple of these small etchings of the nation’s favourite tree hand-framed in solid oak. One is a traditional black print, the other a deep mulberry pink. They fit very nicely into little corners, I must say. I’ll be taking these to the Artists’ & Makers’ Collective fair in Beaumaris on Dec 9 & 10th.

Bridges of Anglesey County… there’ve been so many short, intense sunsets-after-rain just recently. This was a quick scoot with the dog between the Telford Bridge and the Brittania Bridge on the Menai Straits just before dark

‘Ballerina Moon’ - all nicely framed up and ready for a friend. The association between fuchia flowers and dancing ballerina-feet seems quite widely known… Both the framer and his wife also knew it as a children’s game in different parts of the country

Feels good to be thinking, planning and carving lino again after a long break. These sweet Welsh Ponies from a local field printed up well on a smooth Japanese washi paper - a joy for printmaking. I’m aiming to make a series of nature-inspired prints for the Artists’& Makers’ Collective Fair in Beaumaris and other Xmassy pop-ups…

Deckle edge… (love the words) referring to the feathered edges of heavy art paper. In ye old days, paper was made on a deckle or wooden frame so these wonky edges happened as part of the process. I’m very happy with the clever framing of these etchings, in which the artwork is floated above the dark background to show off that deckle edge!

See these and a whole bunch of other pieces from the multi-talented at the Winter Fair 9th,10th December

An extremely likeable exhibition in the leisure centre, Beaumaris by local artists this week. The lighting is difficult for photography but doesn’t detract from the actual viewing. Go see if you can!

Took our visitors off to (gallery) with its sea-urchin shaped restaurant and fabulous gothic interiors. We loved the summer exhibition and were quite literally blown away by the windswept headland walks! Thank you for the idea…

It’s a rare pleasure to see my work, post-purchase, in its final setting. I love the simple framing - and what a beautiful London office space! Thank you so much Maxine for tracking down ‘the lone tree’ both in real life on the shores of Llyn Padarn and my etching from delightful emporium in Menai Bridge

A few pics from some longish walkies yesterday-Llyn Crafnant, Llyn Geirionydd and back with fine views of Moel Siabod in the darkening light. A side step up Crimpiau and a dip in the lake (not featured!) made for a perfect day 😊
