I have been taking part in the 100 Day Project on Instagram #100dayproject. Sometimes I just need an impetus to create and I find that doing something every day is really good for me. Apart from, say, eating crisps every day. These envelopes will eventually make their way around the world, containing mail art for my colleagues on IUOMA.

In an ideal world, I would have access to a printmaking studio, with all the wonderful equipment I need (an etching press being top of my list).
As it is, I just have my kitchen table and a gelliplate. But what fun there is to be had with this little square of jelly. If I get stuck for ideas, a session of gelliplate printing really frees me up.
I’m sure there are lots of techniques I haven’t yet explored. This set was inspired by Vorticism, London, The Last of Us and airborne toxic events.
I purchased a batch of vintage postcards from ebay and a group of them turned out to be a description of one man’s odyssey around Europe in the late 60s. It was very poignant to read them. The more boring ones will be used for mail art; such as these which are altered with oil paint.
I did a little painting over the Bank Holiday weekend. I don’t really have a plan, or any clue how to paint, but it’s nice to play with colours and texture.
