I'm putting this down for the moment but here's my latest Safe Harbours idea. It doesn't have a name yet. Once it is done I will print it in December hopefully.

Now sure what I'm doing next!

Agnetha is desperate for Olive to play with her. Olive really doesn't want to.

Here's a good photo of my new print "Weathering the Storm".

It is an edition of 24, printed in six colours on Fabriano 5.

Finished editioning my print! The white layer was much better after I remade the screen.

I will take a proper photo tomorrow.

Agnetha earlier.

I'm printing in a minute. If the next colour goes well then it's plain sailing.

I made sausage rolls. There was an overabundance of pastry!

Here's the first colour proof of my new print "Weathering the Storm".

It looks pretty good but I might make the last screen again to see if I can get the lines a bit thicker.

Colours are good.

Making screens again this evening. They are all done so I will be printing tomorrow!

Had a disastrous evening yesterday with new emulsion. None of the screens were any good and I broke the glass. Wonderful.

I have just done a test exposure with the new emulsion and got a 4 minute exposure time with the LED UV lamp. I'm pretty pleased with that!

This emulsion should be much more hard wearing than the previous one.

Working on something new...a new Safe Harbours print.

This is a work in progress but I'm happy with how it's going.

Buying music on @subvert.fm and testing the app!

It's really good. Can't wait to be able to upload my music on there.

I had to get this @giantclaw.bsky.social album I did not have digitally.

Had a great Way Out West cocktail on Sunday at the Cabinet Rooms in Winchester. It’s an old fashioned with mezcal as well as whiskey.

OK I'm now putting them down for a few weeks!

I will come back to these in December, hopefully. And print in January.
