A while ago I experimented with making a pattern from a block print. The theme is ”Nice red things”

#Linocut #reliefprinting #printmaking #pattern #surfacedesign
#redandwhite #handmade

Linocut pattern featuring a coffeepot, cup, sausage, flower, hearts, cherry, apple, milk carton, spoon, fork, mushroom and a strawberry all in a strong red colour

The lino block, inked and ready for printing

Paper on top of the linoblock. The paper is rubbed with a wooden handle

Only structure remains.

Over the last year I've set up space to make the tiles I always wanted to have on building projects in the early 2000s, with rich colours and a clean, solid feel. (2/3) #tiledesign #arquitectura #boldcolors #tile #ceramicglaze #surfacedesign

Since I’m sharing 2025 work for #artAdventCalendar, another thing I did this year was make a large collection of repeat patterns, like this Velvet worm repeat pattern! Putting more invertebrate linocuts into surface design!

These adorable, caterpillar-like blue velvet worm from New Zealand (Aotearoa). Velvet worms (phylum: Onychophora) are named for their velvet-like texture and somewhat wormlike appearance. 🧵

A repeat pattern made with my linocut blue S-shaped velvet worm, resembling a many-legged caterpillar with two antennas and a pattern of spots. Along its length there’s a central darker blue stripe. The image is repeated and reflected to make mesh of nearly interlocking S-shaped velvet worms against a deep raspberry purple background.

I like to take shapes, gestural motifs, and colours from my abstracted paintings and rework them into surface designs. This one is Ruska 2 v2 Blue, as printed on cotton percale in 2023. (I ordered it from CottonBee, and it is available on other fabrics via Spoonflower.)

A broad view of an abstract printed repeat pattern in blue, green, teal, and grey. It has a swirling water and leaves feel to it.

A close-up of abstract printed fabric design. It is of overlapping transparent lozenge shapes with a somewhat leafy and watery nature. Colour palette in pale blue, grey, dark green, blue, and teal.

As described this is a half-drop repeat pattern made with my beetles linocut. My print shows, from left to right, top to bottom: Goliath beetle, Calligrapha verrucosa, blowout tiger beetle, Fruhstorferia sexmaculata, Phaedon oviformis, Reindeer beetle, Ceratophyus martinez, Erythrus ardens.

The species is not only dimorphic with different male and female forms but also the females are polymorphic (that is, they come in different forms) and with mimetic forms (mimicking other species). This one is the Female alcanor form (with the swallow tails).

the anemone from its predators and parasites and nitrogen excreted by the anemonefish increases the number of algae incorporated into the tissue of their hosts, which aids the anemone in tissue growth and regeneration. The fish even aerate their hosts with their movements and may lure anemone pray with their bright colours.

& babies develop inside their mother until large enough to be born, in batches of 4–6, as colourless miniatures of the parents! Peripatoides novaezealandiae is a species complex of velvet worms in the genus Peripatoides, found throughout NZ. My print was made based on photos of P. aurorbis, but all the P. novaezealandiae have no morphological characters that distinguish them.

In high-density, these grasshoppers can be considered a garden or argricultural pest who eat grain. Their food consumption raises with temperature. On the other hand, grasshoppers are edible and looking to the future, people are starting to think creatively about protein sources with less environmental impact.

Saw the Woven Histories exhibit at MoMA and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the textile arts. #Weaving has the largest representation, but there was also #SurfaceDesign, #felting, #basketry #metalwork and more.
