A wee little M is for mermaid and moon print for #MerMay (the #mermaid 🧜♀️ month). It’s maybe a little bit big for #tinyPrintTuesday but I’m sharing it today.
(Kind of a shame you can't migrate Mastodon posts when you move...)
From a #TinyPrintTuesday session a few weeks ago... #linocut #blockprinting
It’s a throwback but I’m sharing my tiny 4” x 4” (with 2” x 2” printed area) asteroid linocut print for #TinyPrintTuesday ☄️

Today is World Rat Day so here’s a wee rat for #TinyPrintTuesday 🐀
Rats are very clever and make great pets though I confess I am less happy to occasionally see them visit my yard (a hazard of living in a big city). The brown rat is an introduced species here. We got a humane trap to move them, as all other rat deterrents can harm pets and wildlife and we instead caught (and released):
Another backyard visitor for #tinyPrintTuesday. I wanted to capture the slinky way foxes skulk. I’m using little scraps of lino and offcuts of paper. 3”x4”
We were surprised to see a fox in our tiny yard but it lives nearby.
I think maybe I should go even tinier!

My next backyard visitor for #TinyPrintTuesday is the classic Toronto backyard denizen, the raccoon 🦝
But, I am not even kidding, as I am posting this, I looked out the window and saw a baby skunk walk up my back steps, go between the houses and out across our tiny front garden, unperturbed by my next door neighbour who was out shovelling snow!
There’s more wildlife in this city than you might imagine.

When I wrote that people mustn’t like opossums cause there’s no emoji I heard from their fans! So, #tinyPrintTuesday is another unexpected backyard visitor, the Virginia opossum.
When I was a kid, we never saw them… but we see and hear them in Toronto today. I think there’re extraordinary. An actual marsupial in NA who carries her babies on her back, can swing from her tail and best of all, eat lots of ticks.

A wee little skunk 🦨 print for #tinyPrintTuesday and for the #printersolstice prompt contrast. Those famous white stripes on black are a high contrast warning not to mess with our more odiferous neighbours! This is another animal I have seen in my tiny backyard.
