The colours and patterns mix together to make a vibrant new image out of the old. Recycling at it's most colourful. The beetles are each made out of a single image and named accordingly, roasted red onion beetle, puddle beetle, big red van beetle, I had fun. The collage is printed onto 160gm paper and is signed. The image measures 19cm square. stripedpebble Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:09:06 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2659169 http://folksy.com/items/2659169 Beetle collage, signed print This linocut was inspired by a dream I had. I kept accidentally feeding the goldfish with bird seed, until one day the fish flew out of the bowl and out of the window. I love the way shapes morph into new things.

I kept accidentally feeding the goldfish bird seed, until one day it flew out of the bowl and straight out of the window. The linocut is hand printed in blue green ink onto a grey blue recycled paper. It has a gold pattern on the reverse which adds a subtle sparkle and texture, and is signed by the artist. The print measures 18 x 23 cm. The print is sold unframed, a 10 x 12 frame is an ideal size for this print, and will need a mount to be cut to size. stripedpebble Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:35:35 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2717798 http://folksy.com/items/2717798 Sea Changes Linocut I love working with type, having begun my working life as a graphic designer, and with this alphabet design I just had fun. On this version I have first painted the paper in acrylics to create a bright background with movement and life before hand printing the linocut in dark blue/green ink. The image measures 30cm square, printed on 250gm cartridge and each print is signed. The print is sold unframed, but fits perfectly into a 40cm square frame, with an appropriately cut mount, and I found such a frame in Wilkinson's for around £10, which comes with perspex rather than glass, which may be a good bet if the print is bought for a child's room. stripedpebble Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:52:08 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2717834 http://folksy.com/items/2717834 Alphabet blue linocut print I love playing with letter forms, having begun my working life as a graphic designer, and with this alphabet I have just had fun.

Each of my butterflies is hand printed and unique, and signed. The linocut prints are sold unframed, and fit perfectly into mounts cut ready for 4x6 photographs. They are pictured here in a solid oak frame which came with a ready cut mount, which is available from The Range for an amazing £3.50.

I took inspiration from the illustrations of Arthur Rackham, Cicely Mary Barker’s wonderful Flower Fairies, and my own fascination with butterflies, to create three very different little personalities. The Painted Lady butterfly, suggested to me a voluptuous siren of a butterfly, brimming with self confidence, the Swallowtail butterfly fairy is relaxed in the knowledge of her obvious beauty, while the Small Tortoiseshell fairy, (my personal favourite) is the shy one, unassuming and yet possibly the most beautiful of all. The lino cuts are hand printed on to some beautiful recycled paper, it is hand made from bark and block printed in gold, giving a vintage textile feel to the print. Each fairy is sold separately. The Painted Lady fairy measures 14x15cm. stripedpebble Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:00:56 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2850274 http://folksy.com/items/2850274 The Painted Lady Fairy I designed these lino cuts as a gift for my niece, seventeen and still believes in fairies.

They always wanted to see more in the pictures than just a colour, and of course, no colour is ever just one colour. Because of the materials used in the collage, an original would fade in direct sunlight, so this is a photographic print , using heavy weight matt paper. Each print is signed.
