I realise that I have rambled on for nearly 400 posts. When I first started I had no idea what blogging would be like, I just wanted to do it. Now I know what it is like, I am so glad I did. I have enjoyed getting to know so many friendly and creative
bloggers, and getting to visit so many more. It seems that every week I find another blog to add to my list. It is like all my other collections-ever growing but it all fits in somehow. To celebrate reaching 400, I am having a little giveaway. I have been printing mad since my course last week, and so have made an envelope full of little paper surprises, in the form of printed gift tags and small cards. The mushroom below is printed onto my favourite paper of the moment.
If you are interested in receiving a little package of printed goods, then please leave a comment on this post in the next week. I will draw a name next Tuesday. Thanks!
I have also been playing with
photo shop-this is the strange looking results of that, on a picture of another lino cut. I printed the lino in black ink onto lots of different types of paper, including doilies which worked well, magazine pages and maps. She was inspired by an amazing and quite creepy video called
'Numb', I saw on
this lovely blog. The video is so good, and I just loved the puppet girls. I want to make a doll of one but a lino cut was quicker. I just love the smell of lino which is an added bonus. I thought I preferred the rubber but this lino is so soft and lovely to use.

Of course, I'm always interested in anything you do, and would be thrilled to have your paper, but I just stopped by to say, hello!
(I've been preoccupied with the book and lately, I've been drawn into the world of ancestry.ca (very time-consuming, especially for an addictive personality like mine).
Hope you and your household are all well.

P.S. I'm crediting you on the inside of the book with both the photo and the fabric figures.
Congrats! I already have a thing or two of yours but gosh, yes, your work is among my faves! Pop me in. I am so loving your lino cuts. Well done. And I love the video as well. Yes, creepy... right up my proverbial alley.
Take good care.

And here your blog doesn't look a single post older than 399! To the next 400 and the 400 after that and then on. You know I love everything you do and your ability to make me feel that I have a cup of tea waiting for me here and a good chat with a dear friend. Thank you for that and for the inspiration I find here from you. It is almost funny how close we can feel to people across the world when they touch a place in the heart that is filled with friendship. Hugs from here, dear.
Hi I'm leaving a comment because I've enjoyed reading/seeing here this morning and if I happen to win that's a bonus not an intention... :)
best wishes
