dusty old things.

once upon a time i liked playing with tools, mdf, spraypaint and vinyl, here are some of the things i made (i also made the mess in the background).

obsession.

us lovers of print have compiled a zine all about our obsessions - the covers are hand printed so we've been busy the past couple of weeks.
here's the first layer of the cover (design by gemma correll):
the reverse of the cover (design by yee ting kuit):
and a sneak peek at the finished cover (the second layer was printed by the hands of yee, sarah and karoline):

i'm excited to see the finished product!

lazy blogface.

i am a lazy blogger, but i haven't been lazy in other areas - i printed more typewriter cards...experience the wonders of the printing process:

actual factual.

forgot to post the card - whoops. here it is in all it's cream, coral and purple glory.

moms ftw!

more printing is happening as part of love to print. my contribution is a rosette, to be awarded to your no.1!










take a gander at the printing action!


















for once everything went to plan! the exposure was crisp, the ink didn't run, everything lined up and there weren't too many reject cards - even though my printing skills are rather shonky.

love to print.

love to print is a little project masterminded by karoline rerrie, featuring lots of girl illustrators (including my spectacular sister sarah lynch) printing mildly romantical cards, postcards and prints.


my efforts included; a 'you're my type' typewriter and a pair of smitten mittens with string that loops into a loveheart. we printed them in smallish runs of 50-200 down at birmingham printmakers in digbeth.

so far things have been going swimmingly, due to lots of hardwork from everyone involved, but especially from karoline - you can read more about the project and the other artists involved over at the love to print blog.

you can also see some prints by sarah lynch, karoline rerrie, sarah ray and me on display at:
