    <title>Folksy : Mandy Benton Printmaker</title>
    <link>https://folksy.com/shops/MandyBentonPrintmaker</link>
    <description>All of my lino prints are cut and individually burnished by hand.  I love the almost meditative process of carving and the boldness of a single block print onto beautiful handmade papers. 

I am inspired by the natural world and the people around me, with words/text frequently playing an integral part in my work.

      <title>'Hello There Spring' Lino Print</title>
      <description>The starting point for this print was the welcome sight of the returning primroses in my garden and a definite feeling of the beginnings of spring.  

On from my initial sketches, my final design was transferred onto lino which I hand cut and then hand burnished onto a gorgeous off-white Japanese HoSho paper.  The paper measures  approx. 28cm x 39.5cm, with the printed image itself measuring approx. 15 x 20cm.

The print comprises a base layer of two &#8216;sweeps&#8217; of primrose yellow, over which is printed the main floral image in a mid green, reflecting the colour of the plant&#8217;s foliage.

Each of this open edition is numbered, titled, signed and dated 2021 and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube.  On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl.  (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

      <title>'September in the Garden', Lino Print</title>
      <description>My &#8216;September in the Garden&#8217; print was inspired by the bounty of plants with their array of shapes, colours, patterns and textures in our garden this autumn. 

Having sketched and played with the layout, my final landscape design was drawn onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut and burnished in a black oil based ink onto a beautiful handmade Nepalese paper.  

The saffron coloured 'Lokta' paper offers a stunning backdrop to my design, with the inconsistencies from paper to paper in terms of thickness and texture an integral part of this print&#8217;s charm. 

The printed image measures approx. 30cm x 20cm with the paper measuring 38cm x 25cm approx.

Each of this edition of 30 prints is numbered and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

Please note that the listing is for the print only; the wooden hanger in the photograph is used purely for display purposes.

      <title>'Christmas Cactus' Lino Print on Lime</title>
      <description>This little print was inspired by my grandma&#8217;s Christmas Cactus and particularly by the contrast of its stunning pink flowers against the lime green of my kitchen wall. 
 
The print was made in two steps, with both flower and leaves carved from a traditional hessian backed lino.  The flower was printed in a rich pink oil-based ink and the leaves printed separately using a dark green ink pad. 

The paper, a beautiful handmade Nepalese lime coloured Lokta, measures approx. 10.5cm x 17cm. 

Each of this small edition of 8 prints is numbered and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you in a cello with a back board, ready to present as is or to frame with the mount and surround of your choosing.  

Fairly small in both size and price, these prints make a lovely easy to post gift and what lovelier thing to arrive in the post than a joyful little burst of colour?

This print is also available printed onto an off-white Khadi paper.

      <title>'Christmas Cactus' Lino Print on Off-White Paper</title>
      <description>This little print was inspired by my grandma&#8217;s Christmas Cactus and particularly by the contrast of its stunning pink flowers against the lime green of my kitchen wall. 
 
The print was made in two steps, with both flower and leaves carved from a traditional hessian backed lino.  The flower was printed in a rich pink oil-based ink and the leaves printed separately using a dark green ink pad. 

The paper, a beautiful handmade off-white Khadi paper, sets off the vibrant pink perfectly and offers a more muted alternative to my version on lime paper! The paper measures approx. 10.5cm x 15cm, roughly A6 size.
 
Each of this small edition of 5 prints is numbered and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you in a cello with a back board, ready to present as is or to frame with the mount and surround of your choosing.  

Fairly small in both size and price, these prints make a lovely easy to post gift and what lovelier thing to arrive in the post than a joyful little burst of colour?

This print is also available printed onto a zingy lime green Lokta paper.

      <title>'A Year in a Suburban Garden', Lino Print</title>
      <description>This print, depicting aspects of my suburban garden throughout the year is, to date, the largest I have made.

The print acts as a perpetual calendar, with no dates, just the name of each month paired with a pertinent image to represent what can be seen in the garden at that time.  The name of the print, my signature and a decorative border are all carved and printed as part of the image and included with the print is an identification list of the months, paired with the relevant plant name.

Over the course of the summer using my own sketches and reference photos, my design was drawn onto a traditional hessian backed lino and slowly carved.  The finished lino was then printed onto a lovely off-white Japanese HoSho paper, measuring approx. 28cm x 39.5cm.

Each of this small edition of just 10 is printed in a mid-green ink. Each print is numbered and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

      <title>'Spring has Sprung', Lino Print in Sage Green on Natural Lokta Paper</title>
      <description>This print is a celebration of the abundant and most beautiful spring blooms in our garden; magnolia, daffodils and cherry blossom.

Working from life, photos and sketches, I transferred my finished design in pencil onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut and burnished onto a beautiful handmade Nepalese 'Lokta' paper. The inconsistencies from paper to paper in terms of texture, thickness etc are a big part of the charm of this beautiful surface.

The paper measures approx. 25cm x 37cm with the printed image itself measuring approx. 20cm x 30cm.

Each of this small edition of just 10 is printed in a beautiful soft sage green oil-based ink.  Each print is numbered and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

Please note that the listing is for the print only - the hanging frame is not included.

This same design is also available in a lovely soft pink ink.</description>

      <description>This print is a bold, stylised depiction of the seed pods of an honesty plant.

The paper measures approx. 19cm x 25cm, with the printed image itself measuring approx. 14cm x 18cm.

      <title>'Catching Up', Lino Print</title>
      <description>This print came into being after the loveliest of days with my two dearest friends; a day full of laughter, tea and coffee, shared stories and possibly a cake or two!  For me, this print stands as a reminder, no matter how busy life is, of the importance of friendship and of staying in touch with those special people in our lives, the people with whom we have shared history and who just 'get' us!

Sketches made, photographs studied and composition decided upon, I transferred my design onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut and burnished onto a beautiful Japanese 'Hosho' paper.

The paper measures 39.5cm x 28cm, with the printed image itself measuring approx. 30.5cm x 20cm.

Each of this edition of just 20 is printed in a lovely raw umber oil-based ink. Each print is numbered, titled and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly in damaging the print).

Please note that the listing is for the print only - the frame is not included.

(Please also see the small edition featuring touches of gold and silver leaf).

      <title>'Garden Guardian', Lino Print in Raw Umber </title>
      <description>This print was inspired by a lovely bird feeder in our garden.  The Green Man rests against the wall, nestled amongst the ivy with his outstretched hands full of bird seed for the garden&#8217;s many feathered (and sometimes furry) visitors.

I have worked on multiple ideas around this same theme, with &#8216;Garden Guardian&#8217; the second version to come to fruition. (The original 'Green Guardian' has been discontinued).
 
Having decided on my final design, it was transferred onto lino which I hand cut and burnished in a lovely raw umber ink onto a beautiful Japanese &#8216;Shirakaba&#8217; paper.  The paper measures approx. A4 size, 21cm x 29.5cm, with the printed image itself measuring approx. 17.5cm x 26.5cm at its widest parts.

Each of this edition of just 10 is numbered, signed and titled and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you flat on a backboard.

      <title>'Autumn Logpile II', Lino Print in Raw Umber</title>
      <description>'Autumn Logpile II&#8217; is a variation of my original &#8216;Autumn Logpile&#8217; lino print.  This newer version is very slightly smaller, with the printed image measuring 17cm x 26cm and made in a darker, raw umber ink.

Each of this small edition of just 10 has been numbered, signed and titled and is printed onto a lovely Japanese Hosho paper of approx. A4 size, 21cm x 29.5cm.  As each has been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you flat on a backboard.

Please note that the listing is for the print only. The wooden hanger is for display purposes only.

      <title>'Spring has Sprung', Lino Print in Soft Pink on Natural Lokta Paper</title>
      <description>This print is a celebration of the abundant and most beautiful spring blooms in our garden; magnolia, daffodils and cherry blossom.

Working from life, photos and sketches, I transferred my finished design in pencil onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut and burnished onto a beautiful handmade Nepalese 'Lokta' paper. The inconsistencies from paper to paper in terms of texture, thickness etc are a big part of the charm of this beautiful surface.

The paper measures approx. 25cm x 37cm with the printed image itself measuring approx. 20cm x 30cm.

Each of this small edition of just 12 is printed in a beautiful soft pink oil-based ink. Each print is numbered and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

Please note that the listing is for the print only - the hanging frame is not included.

This same design is also available in a lovely soft sage green ink.</description>

Each print has been hand-burnished in black ink onto beautiful vibrant handmade paper and is one of an edition of just 10.

      <description>This little print features a bold depiction of two roses in bloom, with the message 'Sending Love'.

Each print, one of an edition of just 6, has been hand-burnished in black ink onto a beautiful handmade paper and features a hand-painted sweep of watercolour, offering a pretty pink backdrop to the printed image.

The paper measures approximately 11x15cm, with the printed image slightly smaller.

The print will be posted flat on a greyboard backing and would make a lovely, easy to post gift for a special someone, whether in celebration, commiseration or just to say 'I am here and thinking of you'.

      <title>'Glad all Over', Lino Print in Black on Lokta Paper (VE1)</title>
      <description>My 'Glad all Over' prints are inspired by the stunning gladioli flowering in our garden.  They make a most striking addition and of course, the perfect subject matter for a bold, joyful print.

Having made a number of sketches and deciding on a simple strong representation of both the blooms and text, I transferred the final image onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut and burnished in black ink onto a beautiful natural 'Lokta', a stunning handmade Nepalese paper. The inconsistencies from paper to paper in terms of texture are a big part of the charm of this beautiful surface.

The printed image measures approx. 20cm x 30cm with the paper measuring 26cm x 39cm approx.

Each of this edition of 30 prints is numbered, titled and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

Please note that the listing is for the print only; the wooden hanger in the photographs is used purely for display purposes.

This print is also available in a soft purple ink.

      <title>'Autumn Logpile' Lino Print in Terracotta</title>
      <description>This print is a celebration of the beautiful patterns, lines and textures to be found within a satisfyingly well-stocked wood store.

Each of this small edition of just 10 prints has been hand-burnished in terracotta ink onto beautiful handmade Lokta paper, with each piece signed and numbered.  Having been printed onto a handmade surface, slight variations from print to print will occur. This is all part of the individual beauty of a handcrafted piece.

The printed image measures approximately 20x30cm with the paper measuring approximately 25x38cm.

The print will be posted wrapped in tissue and rolled within a tube. On its arrival, please remove it from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may speed up the process - please do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way, as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print.

Please note that the listing is for the print only. The wooden hanger is for display purposes only.

      <title>'Hag and Heart Stones', Lino Print on Hosho Paper (VE2)</title>
      <description>This little print was inspired by two particularly lovely stones gathered from holiday walks. It&#8217;s always so satisfying to find a heart shaped piece and I just love the idea of the hag stone as an ancient protector; legend tells how only good things can pass through the hole, whereas evil is trapped inside&#8230;
  
Having decided on the simple composition, I transferred my drawing onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut and burnished in a rich black oil based ink onto a lovely piece of Japanese handmade paper. 

The paper measures approx. 14cm x 20cm with the printed image itself at 10cm x 15cm approx. (roughly A6 size).

Each of this edition of 30 prints is marked as the second variable edition (VE2), is numbered and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you in a cello with a back board, ready to present as is or to frame with the mount and surround of your choosing.  

Fairly small in both size and price, these prints make a lovely easy to post gift and what lovelier thing to arrive in the post than a little bit of luck and love?

This print is also available printed onto Lokta paper (VE1).

      <title>'Mightier than the Sword', Lino Printed Sketchbook</title>
      <description>This little sketchbook is perfect for recording ideas, notes and lists and for making sketches on the go! 

The kraft paper front cover features a hand cut lino print of one of my earliest original designs, &#8216;Mightier than the Sword&#8217;, with my 'Mandy Benton Printmaker' logo on the reverse.

The book is A5 in size (148mm x 210mm), with blank 140gsm pages.

Due to the slightly textured cover and the fact of the design having been hand printed, variations in the print will naturally occur from book to book.  This is all part of the beauty of a handmade piece.

      <title>'Spring Tulips', Lino Print in Orange on Natural Lokta Paper</title>
      <description>With sketches made, cut up and re-assembled and the text and final layout decided upon, I transferred this design onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut and burnished onto a beautiful handmade Nepalese paper. The inconsistencies from paper to paper in terms of texture, thickness etc are a big part of the charm of this beautiful surface.

The paper measures approx. 25cm x 38cm with the printed image itself measuring approx. 20cm x 30cm.

Each of this small edition of just 11 is printed in a lovely vibrant orange oil-based ink, echoing the colour of one of the varieties of tulip depicted.  Each print is numbered, titled and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece.  

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

      <title>'Glad all Over' Tea Towel</title>
      <description>This 'Glad all Over' tea towel features an enlarged reproduction of my original linocut, digitally printed in purple ink onto a lovely natural, unbleached 100% cotton fabric.  

The design replicates all of the soft lines and 'imperfections' of my original print, with the tea towel generously sized, measuring approx. 47cm x 81cm, with a handy little hanging loop stitched into the seam.  

Who says that kitchen essentials can't be works of art too?

Your tea towel will be posted folded, with a paper band surround.

30 degree wash recommended.

      <title>'You are Lovely', Mini Lino Print</title>
      <description>This little print was made in two stages, with the hand-carved linocut message 'You are Lovely', printed in a deep purple ink over a loose pale pink watercolour sweep of a heart.

The paper is a beautiful off-white 'Khadi' paper from India, which measures approximately 15cm x 11cm.

Each of this small edition of just 8 prints has been signed and numbered and having been painted and printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you in a cello with a back board, ready to present as is or to frame with the mount and surround of your choosing. 
 
Small in both size and price, these prints make lovely easy to post gifts and the loveliest of messages to arrive in the post, like a heart warming hug in an envelope!</description>

      <title>'Cyclamen Persicum', Lino Print in Black on Rose Lokta Paper (VE2)</title>
      <description>This print is inspired by my fabulously blousy Cyclamen Persicum plant.  With its big, bold shapes and lines it lends itself beautifully to reproduction in print form.

Having sketched and planned and decided on a simple strong representation of the plant, I transferred my final drawing onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut and burnished in black ink onto a beautiful Rose &#8216;Lokta&#8217;, a stunning handmade paper from Nepal.  

The deep pink is a nod to the colour of the cyclamen flowers, with the inconsistencies from piece to piece in terms of texture, forming a big part of the charm of this beautiful surface.

The printed image measures approx. 20cm x 30cm with the paper measuring 26cm x 38cm approx.

Each of this edition of 10 prints is numbered and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

      <title>'Hag and Heart Stones', Lino Print on Lokta Paper (VE1)</title>
      <description>This little print was inspired by two particularly lovely stones gathered from holiday walks. It&#8217;s always so satisfying to find a heart shaped piece and I just love the idea of the hag stone as an ancient protector; legend tells how only good things can pass through the hole, whereas evil is trapped inside&#8230;
  
Having decided on the simple composition, I transferred my drawing onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut and burnished in a rich black oil based ink onto a lovely piece of Nepalese handmade paper. 

The paper measures approx. 12cm x 19cm with the printed image itself at 10cm x 15cm approx. (roughly A6 size).

Each of this edition of 30 prints is marked as the first variable edition (VE1), is numbered and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you in a cello with a back board, ready to present as is or to frame with the mount and surround of your choosing.  

Fairly small in both size and price, these prints make a lovely easy to post gift and what lovelier thing to arrive in the post than a little bit of luck and love?

This print is also available printed onto Hosho paper (VE2).

      <title>'Grandpa's Goodnight' Lino Print</title>
      <description>I love to incorporate text into my prints and much like its companion piece 'Grandma's Wise Words', it's the writing that is the star here.  The words are interspersed with little sprigs of restful lavender, perfect for a night time rhyme!

Sketches made and a final design decided, this image was transferred onto lino which was then hand cut and burnished onto a lovely creamy Japanese Shiramine Select paper (measuring approx. 21.5cm x 26.5cm) with the printed image itself measuring approx. 15cm x 20cm.

Each of these prints (the first printed from a variable edition of 50) comprises a base layer of pale purple touches for the lavender sprigs, over which is printed the main image in a dark purple, with both colours in oil based inks.  Each print is numbered, titled, signed and dated. 

Having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you in a bio-degradable cello with a back board, ready to present as is or to frame with the mount and surround of your choosing. 

This print would make a lovely gift either for an adult or for display in a child's bedroom or perhaps an amusing and unique new baby gift!

      <title>'Wild Beauty', Lino Print in Black on Lokta Paper (VE1)</title>
      <description>My &#8216;Wild Beauty&#8217; prints are inspired by the beautiful little wild areas of my garden, comprising a joyful mixture of poppies, foxgloves, forget-me-nots, redcurrants and pumpkin plants. 

Final design decided, my sketches were transferred onto lino which I then hand cut and burnished in  black ink onto a beautiful natural &#8216;Lokta&#8217;, a stunning paper handmade in Nepal. The inconsistencies from paper to paper are a big part of the beauty and charm of this handmade surface.

The printed image measures approx. 20cm x 30cm with the paper measuring 26cm x 39cm approx. 

Each of this edition of 30 prints is numbered, titled and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

Please note that the listing is for the print only; the wooden hanger in the photographs is used purely for display purposes.

In addition to this version of &#8216;Wild Beauty&#8217; (VE1, black on Lokta),  VE2, in dark green on Lokta and VE3, dark green on Japanese Hosho are also available, each in editions of 30.</description>

Final design decided, my sketches were transferred onto lino which I then hand cut and burnished in a dark green ink onto 'Hosho&#8217;, a beautiful soft white paper handmade in Japan.

      <title>'The Last of Summer', Lino Print </title>
      <description>This print is a celebration of the transition between summer and autumn in the garden, with the beautifully contrasting jumble of old and new.

The plants continue to be plentiful, though many flowers are starting to fade.   The grasses remain strong, with the developing seed heads bringing an architectural beauty into the mix.

This print is one of an edition of 30, printed in a process blue oil-based ink onto a beautiful Japanese 'Hosho' paper.  

Each print is numbered, titled and signed and having been printed by hand onto handmade papers, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece.

The paper measures approx. 28cm x 39.5cm with the printed image itself measuring approx. 20cm x 30cm.

      <title>'Glad all Over', Lino Print in Purple on Lokta Paper (VE2)</title>
      <description>My 'Glad all Over' prints are inspired by the stunning gladioli flowering in our garden this year.  They make a most striking addition and of course, the perfect subject matter for a bold, joyful print.

Having made a number of sketches and deciding on a simple strong representation of both the blooms and text, I transferred the final image onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut and burnished in a purple ink onto a beautiful natural 'Lokta', a stunning handmade Nepalese paper. The inconsistencies from paper to paper in terms of texture are a big part of the charm of this beautiful surface.

The printed image measures approx. 20cm x 30cm with the paper measuring 26cm x 39cm approx.

Each of this small edition of 10 prints is numbered, titled and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

Please note that the listing is for the print only; the wooden hanger in the photographs is used purely for display purposes.

This print is also available in black ink.

      <title>'Time is Precious' Lino Print</title>
      <description>Who hasn&#8217;t, whether as child or adult, blown dandelion seeds into the wind to find out the time? The seed head is gone in a trice, and the older we get, so it seems is time itself&#8230;

Having sketched and planned the bold shapes and lines of the design, my final drawing was transferred onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut and burnished in black ink onto a beautiful natural &#8216;Lokta&#8217;, a stunning handmade Nepalese paper.  The paper is thin but strong and looks just beautiful with the light streaming through. 

The printed image measures approx. 20cm x 30cm with the paper measuring 25cm x 38cm approx.

Each of this edition of 50 prints is numbered, titled and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur.  The textural inconsistencies from paper to paper also add to the beauty of what is a unique, hand crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

      <title>'Grandma's Wise Words' Lino Print</title>
      <description>I love to incorporate text into my prints and much like its companion piece, 'Grandpa's Goodnight', it's the message and so the writing that is the star here.  I loved carving the large sweeping text and the bold roses too, the addition of which offer a nod to my grandparents' much loved garden.

With sketches made and text and images decided upon, I transferred my final design onto lino which I then hand cut and burnished onto a beautiful creamy Japanese Shiramine Select paper.  The paper measures approx. 21.5cm x 26.5cm with the printed image itself measuring approx. 15cm x 20cm.

Each of these prints (the first printed from a variable edition of 50) comprises a base of pale salmon pink for the blooms, over which is printed the main image in a dark green, with both colours in oil based inks.  Each print is numbered, titled, signed and dated.

Having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you in a bio-degradable cello with a back board, ready to present as is or to frame with the mount and surround of your choosing. 

This print would make a thoughtful gift with its ever relevant message of hope, optimism and positivity.

      <title>'Winter Warmer' Lino Print on Shiramine Select Paper (VE2)</title>
      <description>This little print was a lovely one to create.  Inspired by cosy winter evenings by the fire, my &#8216;Winter Warmer&#8217; depicts a log burner and hearth on a beautiful handmade Japanese paper.
 
Having decided on the composition, I transferred my drawing onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut and burnished in a rich black oil based ink onto a lovely piece of Shiramine Select paper. 

The paper measures approx. 13cm x 18cm with the printed image itself at 10cm x 15cm approx. (roughly A6 size).

Each of this edition of 20 prints is marked as the second variable edition (VE2), numbered and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you in a cello with a back board, ready to present as is or to frame with the mount and surround of your choosing.  

Fairly small in both size and price, these prints make a lovely easy to post gift.

Please note that the listing is for the print only; both the wooden hanger and the frame in the photographs are purely for display purposes.

This print is also available printed onto Kitakata (VE1) and Hosho (VE3) papers - as seen in the photo showing the three prints.

      <title>'The Promise of Tulips', Two Block Lino Print in Black and Green on Hosho Paper</title>
      <description>With tulips planted in the little tin bath for the very first time, we had no idea if or how many of the bulbs would come to fruition... In the meantime, the lush, green foliage was most definitely a winner and so had to be celebrated!   
  
Sketches made and text and final layout decided upon, I transferred my design onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut and burnished onto a beautiful Japanese Hosho paper. 

The paper measures approx. 28cm x 39.5cm with the printed image itself measuring approx. 20cm x 30cm.

Each of this small edition of just 6 comprises a two-layer print, the first a rich base of green to emphasise the leaves, over which is printed the main image in black. Each of the prints is numbered, titled and signed.

Having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

Please note that the wooden hanger in the photograph is used for display purposes only.

      <title>'The Promise of Tulips', Two Block Lino Print over Green (VE no.4 of 7)</title>
      <description>With sketches made and text and final layout decided upon, I transferred my design onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut. Once dry, the irregular base &#8216;sweeps&#8217; of light green were over printed, first with a dark green to emphasise the leaves and then the main image details in black.

The paper is a beautiful Japanese Hosho, measuring approx. 22.5cm x 32.5cm with the black printed image itself measuring approx. 20cm x 30cm.

Each of this limited edition is numbered, titled and signed. Having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will always occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece. In addition, each print of this limited, variable edition differs in terms of the amount and placement of the green sweeps, the alignment of the green and black layers and finally in overall paper size.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

      <title>'The Promise of Tulips', Two Block Lino Print over Green (VE no.7 of 7)</title>
      <description>With sketches made and text and final layout decided upon, I transferred my design onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut. Once dry, the irregular base &#8216;sweeps&#8217; of light green were over printed, first with a dark green to emphasise the leaves and then the main image details in black.

The paper is a beautiful Japanese Hosho, measuring approx. 21.5cm x 31.5cm with the black printed image itself measuring approx. 20cm x 30cm.

Each of this limited edition is numbered, titled and signed. Having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will always occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece. In addition, each print of this limited, variable edition differs in terms of the amount and placement of the green sweeps, the alignment of the green and black layers and finally in overall paper size.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

Please note that the listing is for the print only; the wooden hanger in the photo is for display purposes only.

      <title>'Beautiful Autumn', Lino Print in Deep Pink on Natural Lokta Paper</title>
      <description>With reference photographs taken, sketches made and the layout and text decided upon, I transferred my design onto a traditional hessian backed lino, which I then hand cut and burnished onto a gorgeous handmade Nepalese paper.  The inconsistencies from paper to paper in terms of texture, thickness etc are a big part of the charm of this beautiful surface.

The paper measures approx. 25cm x 37cm with the printed image itself measuring approx. 20cm x 30cm.

Each of this small edition of just 10 is printed in a lovely vibrant deep pink oil-based ink, mixed to echo the colour of the creeper as closely as possible.  Each print is numbered, titled and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand-crafted piece.

Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process &#8211; do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).

Please note that the listing is for the print only - the frame is not included.</description>
