Prints and printing

 

Fiona has been experimenting with how we might turn some of my wee Scotland inspired watercolours into cards. As you can see from the photos above and below I think she has nailed it.


I will probably take some of these back to Scotland so we can sell them at one or two of the art-craft markets if we can book a spot.

Local people have been collecting brown paper cutlery sleeves for us. They are aware that we use them to print our peace weather grams later in the year. However, because we have quite a stash I have decided to print 50 "but first kindness' weather grams so that they can go out into the world and spread the message. A few photos of the printing process from today follow.






In this rainy weather, and because the paper is not very absorbent, the printing will take a week or more to fully dry. So they will rest in the studio for a while before being packaged up and sent on their way.

    So happy to see your beautiful watercolors showcased in cards. What a lovely collaboration. You are both so talented! Your amazing floating floral photos would be wonderful cards as well IMHO. It always puts a big smile on my face when I see your peace and kindness projects. Thank you for sharing!

  2. These are wonderful, but I’d have a hard time choosing … perhaps you could bundle a boat set of three and a cottage set of three
