National holiday, yay! Time to get some carving done. Showed my little sibling the hobby of carving stamps last week and they were so hooked that they bought everything they needed to start and on Tuesday we both were carving like maniacs then ☺️ that’s when I made these stamps.

I’m working on a whole Alice in Wonderland linoprint series and have the goal to complete at least two stamps today. Let’s hope I can get it done! These are test prints of the Cheshire Cat and the white rabbit. Working on the Caterpillar today and… not sure yet about the next stamp. These are all made to fit 3,5 x 2,5” cards ( #ArtistTradingCards).

Hi fedi folk - It’s lovely to be here! I just moved from mastodon.social to sunny.garden and think it’s time for an #introduction.

I’m Bearina, 30-something from Mannheim, Germany. I make #zines, #ArtistTradingCards and have become a #printmaker recently. I also got back into #photography a few days ago which was my first hobby. I got my first point and shoot camera when I was 12 and fell in love with it before that, using my parents camera and strolling through the neighborhood. I like seeing creativity around me and love to get inspired by other artists.

#SciFi is my jam and I love movies in general. And bears! Lovely creatures.

#DeGoogling right now! Also I’m working on relaunching my website and make it more #IndieWeb friendly and #accessible but also give it a bit more personality. I want to start a blog and share my thoughts. Which reminds me: Words are hard! I try my best but not always succeed.

I’m so excited to meet new people! I toot in German and English.

I’m traveling to a Zentangle workshop near Toronto in a few weeks and someone has organized an Artist Trading Card exchange, so I made my first set of ATC’s ever! No idea why I didn’t do this before. I thought it would be tedious but it was actually super fun! These are a combination of #gelplateprinting and #zentangle. Today I custom made a little box to display them in and also covered it with one of my hand painted papers. #atc #artisttradingcards

Newest #linoprint in my collection: Jason Vorhees :) Not the happiest I could be but I loved how he looks when I color him with alcohol markers. For the red markings on his mask I used acrylic marker. ATC size (2.5 x 3.5“).

Is this something people are interested here on Mastodon?

I didn’t realize how big the ATC and ACEO communities are (and the deep cultural development). I’ll tread cautiously - much to read and learn. #artisttradingcards
