  1. My new printer is fabulous!

    It doesn’t do the full-bleed greeting cards I’ve made, nor the full-bleed 11x17” prints. It does other sizes, but not those two.

    But what it does do is gicleé pigment printing instead of the dye-based ink I was using. And I can now make prints at larger sizes than I was previously.

    So I’ll be shifting my future work toward 16x20" limited edition print runs of 10 (with optional frames) instead of the 11x17" runs of 30.

    We’ll see how that goes.

    The ink is cheaper in the long run, I’m told. And I’ve been stuck in a “must-make-new-stuff-constantly” cycle for a while now, and I hope that perhaps this will help me slow down and concentrate on quality instead of quantity. It’s a huge step forward for me, and I think it will elevate the caliber of the presentation of my work.

    The print quality is still amazing, and while it’s subtle there is indeed a different character to the appearance of the prints. Maybe I’m imagining it, but there seems to be less “translucency” to the image? I dunno. It’s just more substantive somehow.

    It will be a long slog to “retro-format” cards without the wrap-around over the spine, but I have to wonder if that might make them look more like actual “art cards” instead of mass-produced items. I’m excited about it.

    Onward!

  3. Mother's Day in the UK falls on the 30th March this year, which is less than two weeks away. We were enchanted by these beautiful cards by Welsh artist Bonnie Hawkins. We hope you love them as much as we do :)

  4. It's less than two weeks until the Spring Equinox (Ostara), the date when night and day are of equal length. It's wonderful to see everything gearing up for the year: we're watching birds chase one another in courtship (and territorial disagreements!), green shoots beginning to appear on shrubs and trees, and early Spring flowers blooming!

    So here are just a few of our favourite cards of the season :) Art by Samantha Symonds, Rachel Blackwell, Sam Cannon and Amanda Clark.
