Introduction

Hello! So this is my blog! The idea is to put up pictures of what I have been, am doing and will be doing.

A few months ago, I bought a book on printing. Jill was at nursery that day and the postman arrived with my parcel from Amazon. It was sunny and I was sat on my sofa in my sitting room with the sun streaming in and I felt inspired to create my own hand printed things. I started off doing potato prints but they didn't really look right somehow. So, I tried lino and stencils and I'm really liking the results. It has been fun but not easy. Finding the right paints was the most difficult.
I've done quite a few things and will be posting photos of these hand printed things as I go along. So please look around and give me your thoughts and comments (and orders too!) and help me as I venture along.

The next step is to set up my own website selling my stuff! (with an e-commerce developer as a husband, I'm hoping that will be the easy part! :P)

Every print is different. Every item is one of a kind. It's a messy job, but I love printing by hand!
