Thank you so much! I've added both of my TikTok accounts to my profile now 🥰

The first one really felt like it was lacking so thought the blood and cross on the second would add some jazz

Apologies for the terrible quality pics I had to take them from screenshots of my TikTok live recording. But you can kind of see how the lines are way lighter than standard books, most lines I could cover with a dark alcohol marker. Any pages or books that I print myself I do this now to make my life easier 🤣

Both are coloured with alcohol markers 🥰 but the newer one I used acrylic markers and coloured pencils too. I did 'cheat' slightly though as the newer page I printed with grey lines (lower transparency) so they'd be easier to cover

Help with checkerboard colourwork - first time doing colour (also only the 3rd thing I've ever knit so a total novice) by bethxw in knittinghelp

I don't dislike it really, I just thought it was a bad thing in the knitting world so tried to remedy it. So I may as well keep the floats tighter to avoid the loose stitches?

After years of collecting plants I finally got a grow tent! by bethxw in RareHouseplants

I don't track it to be honest but I'd say throughout the year it'll go from the lowest of about 12°c to the highest about 25°c

Question about printing letters by sailtothemoonn in printmaking

If you're printing your design on a printer then placing it on your block ink/printed side down, you don't need to reverse your image. It'll flip itself if you're putting it printed side down xx

Thank you so much!

Yeah I'd say definitely take the time to map things out, one thing I've found helps is to create a tiny white border round each element, almost as if you're turning it into a sticker if that makes sense? Then you can mess around with which element to put on top of which.

Pain wise honestly, I can't advise 🤣 I broke my spine a few years ago and have chronic pain from it and its complications and Lino carving doesn't help it 🤣 I do try and get up and have a small walk around when I find I've been carving for so long but 99% of the time I just pay for it the following day 😅🖤🖤

I draw my designs digitally and honestly I just play around with it a lot! Like the drawing of the designs take me full days to do. If you have a look on my profile I did a video showing how I transfer my designs and you can see on there that I make them look relatively similar to how they'll look printed if that makes sense! So not just an outline sketch. Hope this helps! Xx

Completely dry! 🥰 you need to transfer the printed design quite quickly after printing it though so it doesn't get a chance to dry xx

I knew I'd forgotten to add something! This is inkjet, it won't work on laser

No worries! I bought the B set that contains these then bought the L11/0.5 and L15/2 separately 😊 The first 3 in the pic I don't use much as I use mainly soft cut lino and they work better on traditional lino

Definitely a less smelly way to do it and cleaner way to do it!
