New ideas and new prints

Its been a busy couple of weeks for me. Half term meant that i couldn't go into the studio but that didn't stop me creating and i managed to do 3 lino cuts at home ready to take in on Tuesday just gone.
I could only do half a day on Tuesday as i needed to go home and feed our puppy. We have a 17 week old Dachshund puppy called Jedi. He is pretty awesome. We've never had dogs in our family so this is a new thing for us. Jedi has settled into our family really quickly and the kiddos absolutely love him.
I do think that i am the favourite though since i feed him and spend the most time with him.
I have even painted him and gave the painting to my husband.
This is Jedi -

 And the water colour i did.

My husband really loves it and has hung it in the hallway already!.

I had a bit of a nightmare on Tuesday as someone had been messing around with the press that i was going to use so i didn't get half the things i wanted to do done. So my final Humming bird i printed on my lunch break on Thursday. I didn't even manage to take many pictures as i had little time. But here is one of my final prints.

What i loved about doing the Humming bird was that all the prints are different. I really love the effect and they all look like they have movement in them which is what i wanted to achieve.

On Tuesday i did manage to do some relief printing using a barren and some thin Japanese paper which felt lovely and didn't need soaking.

 Above is my Poppy pod print.

 At home i managed to start wrapping my Tree prints ready to sell.

 Then this was one of my new designs that i did in half term. It is so far my favourite.
Dandelion Clocks

 I used my own Hawthorn inks which i got as a gift for Valentines. I printed this is Paynes grey with a touch of Burnt Umber.

The print came out really well. I am very happy with it. I just can't wait to do some more of it when i get a bit more time.
I will be wrapping some of these up this weekend to sell.
