Monotype on Kozo paper. I’m enjoying this process — nothing planned and but a rectangle of black ink to work from, it’s all in the moment.
This is a repeat pattern I made with my linocut print, on beautiful Japanese papers, about the milkweed plant, beloved of the native pollinators. Well-known for its appeal to monarch butterflies, it is also a favourite of the many different native bumblebees and insects like this small milkweed bug.

2025 is het jaar van de torenvalk. Nog steeds een van de meest geziene roofvogels in Nederland, maar ook de torenvalk heeft het steeds moeilijker in een verschralend landschap. Daarom dit jaar extra aandacht voor, en onderzoek naar deze karakteristieke jager.
Ik maakte een prent van de torenvalk en doneer een deel van de opbrengst uit de verkoop ervan aan @Sovon om hun belangrijke werk te steunen:

My final #GelliPlate #monoprint for the day. A façade in #Osaka
I printed one of my photos, transferred it onto a gel plate, painted it after it dried on the plate, then brayered a layer of white and transferred it onto a background paper I had prepared previously. It's on Daiso rice paper intended for practicing calligraphy.
I'm so happy I can finally do this! It took so many attempts over the past weeks that now my brand new printer complains about toner!

Today, finally, finally some #monoprint success.
I was desperately trying to get my laser printer photos to print via the #GelliPlate and it succeeded! The missing ingredient (besides conditioning the plate with baby oil, having the printer print 3 times onto the same paper, and lifting the print very fast) was to switch paints. Amsterdam oxide black did the trick.
I left the print to dry onto the paper and peeled the plate off the print.
Also experimented with a posca pen.

Here’s a simple repeat pattern with the strawberry linocut I made for my print about plants which benefit from insects. I think sometimes simple is best on textiles and I have been thinking about hand printing some strawberry fabric. You can find this one in my minouette Spoonflower
collection too.

Happy birthday Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), #chemist & x-ray #crystallographer whose x-ray diffraction images were instrumental to discovering double-helix structure of #DNA, made important contributions to #carbon & #virus research, was 1 of the great scientists of the 20th century.
Watson’s bio lead some to (inaccurately) joke, “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.”
Happy birthday to pharmaceutical #chemist Alice Ball (1892-1916) who developed 1st effective treatment for #leprosy. Though her life was cut tragically short, her research saved 1000s from exile & painful, ineffective lifelong treatment for leprosy, & she was a trailblazer for both women & Black scientists.
Ball studied #chemistry at UW earning a BSc & 2nd degree in pharmacy 2 years later. She published “Benzoylations in Ether
Happy birthday to #astronomer Vera Rubin (neé Cooper, ‘28-‘16) & her discovery that angular motion of galaxies deviates from predictions, 1st evidence for dark matter, now known as 5x as common as matter & the stuff which dictates dynamics of galaxies & evolution of our universe! The Nobel committee waited 3 years after she died to reward another for the theory of dark matter.

SpoonflowerI've been trying to transfer images from a laser printer onto a gel plate, and then onto a background paper.
Today I finally had one successful failure where I got the image onto the plate, but after that I failed to get if off it without messing it up.
I got annoyed and tried something else. This print here is a partially successful transfer using a magazine page.
Still not sure what I'm doing wrong but it's time for a break.
At least there's progress.

Some of his findings are subtly alluded to in the layout of the pea flowers, like a Punnett square depicting a cross between two pea plants heterozygous for purple and white blossoms.

I’m working on a new pottery surface design technique. New to me, at least: they have been doing this for many hundreds of years in Asia:
Carving a clay stamp, firing it, then using it o stamp the clay while it’s still a little bit soft. It reminds me of the thought process when printmaking.
I’m going to use a celadon style glaze to bring out the texture and beauty of the porcelain clay.
