Last Batch of Original Lino Print. Hence limited edition.

There were quite a few people stopped at my stall and had a look at this print at my first market - Fairy Floss Markets early this month. People who knew the whole process of making Lino Print will appreciate this. I started carving this when I first started involving in blogging. Linoblock was one of a few things I played around. Hence this is a very special to me.
Early stage of "Please Don't Eat Me' in Lino Print.
Unfortunately only 2 prints (in black only) turned out to be the only presentable ones.
Yeah, am very fussy and precise on whatever am doing when comes to art.
Only 2 available to be purchase at madeit.
This is how it looks like when it's done. Just a step before applying the ink.
All hand craved. Hand inked. Then hand pressed (if that's the right word ;)
before hand print them on quality paper. A lot of work but I enjoyed making them.
6 more of Trees to go.
This will be my last batch of my original lino prints. It contents a lot of work and it is time consuming. It can be quite challenging when you have the little one on your feet with all the tools laying on the floor (with your dirty hands too).

Sneak Peek Shots

Yes, am still alive and I have not gone with the wind as yet. ;) My week has been v full on. Peanut seems to be more alert these days. She took up a lot of my time and energy during the day. and I tend to feel tired after dinner (she has gone to bed by then). So it is good to finally get the chance to post something.

It's time for some sneak peek shots over here again.
was playing with some lino print again.
had this block craved by myself when I first started this blog.
always a fan of making all things handmade or/and handprinted. :)

Please Don't Eat Me (8 x 10 inches) in lino print.

It won't be on sales online at the moment.
Please leave a comment if you like to purchase one.

Tree of life (8 x 10 inches) in lino print.
Only 7 copies available to be purchased. They are all original lino prints.
It's not an easy process to make from home,
especially having my newborn laying around where am working.
So, I won't be making them in the near future again.
Please leave a comment if you like to purchase any of them.

Yes! Missy Minzy has greeting cards' version too! :)
The only 100 pieces of 5 x 7 inches giclee greeting card!

Greeting Cards... :)

In the wood series No.4 (8 x 10 inches)
Taken from one of my original sketches..
and No.4 is just one of the execution.

By the way you might be wondering how come some are not available to be purchased etc. There's 2 more weeks before Fairy Floss Markets' arriving (on 3rd October). Hence the busy-ness and won't have time to list and etc. Busy expanding my current range and so is building up my stock for my first market!! :) Be happy for me please. :)

Will be unveiling more of Minzy Girl's series tomorrow. Do remember to pop by if you like to know what she's been up to in Missy Minzy's World, tomorrow. :)

Sketches for the day
I have been looking forward Thursday to come since early of this week. Cuz am excited about Kirsty from Kootoyoo's every Thursday fun! :)

Thank you to those who stopped by and left a comment or 2 in my blog last week. It was fun and I thought hey this is one of the way to connect and make new friends since am 'working' from home! And you will definitely see me hanging around at My Creative Space more often! :)
Some of my tools
A glimpse at one of the Lino Print
Another glimpse at Lino Print 2
The Aftermath..might have to give them another wash later..
Anyhoo, it is day 40 of my 3 months challenge today. The goal is to create an art a day multiply my day. That explains why you have been looking at quite a few or whole lots of black and white drawing/sketching in my blog. So there you go...these are just some of the things am producing to sell in the near future.

Just been having difficulty coming up with a proper name for the E-store and wasn't sure what to do with PayPal since am a very newbie. Or am I thinking too much?

Please make sure you head onto My Creative Space for other creative talented people out there. Am not sure about you but I tend to get all goose bump when I read some of the amazing blogs and admiring their amazing works they have done. Teehee! :)

Challenge Day 3: LinoBlock Print

I had fun having a go by using variety lino colors today. I have also discovered what are my favourite color/s during the whole process! Aha! I might give another go using different colors (not that I have many choices!) now that it has been used once. Based on my experience, the frequent you use the linoblock...the more character the linoblock's color print is. I enjoyed my day very much today. ^_^

LinoBlock Printing Round 2

This time I tried with a foam roller. Black color mixed with green to create a very solid black. :) I also get to try the new paper I bought few weeks ago. LOL
I told you I will get there. More mission to be accomplished for this week.

Experience from this exercise:
Better quality paper. Dry quicker.
It definitely brings out the beauty of linoblock's art and lino ink! :)

LinoBlock Cutting & Printing-Round 1

I have always like linoblock cutting. The smell of the block. The fun of craving them. The joy of rolling the colors. The strength of making it sure the colors are even. Personally not sure this 1st round's result is sufficient. That said, it is always a good thing to share what have I been up to. I will work on it more, as I have bought varieties paper from the art supplies. I believed it would be a better effects. Hopefully the inks dries quicker next round. :)
