These family camping t-shirts are sure to be a hit!

I used @speedball_art screen printing ink and a squeegee I got off of Temu. The press is completely DIY made out of steel and wood. I wish I could say I had a template to share but it was made up on-the-fly.

Who knew trying something new in front of people for the first time would be so fun?

Back in May, I participated in the last @snaginthevalley, and I made a bunch of art in 3.5 hours, including this multi-plate print! It was the first time I've ever made a multi plate print so my expectation was low, and the results greatly exceeded expectations! Always best when trying something new to let go of expectations and enjoy the process!!

There's a lot of room for improvement for the next one, and I'm so thankful to @embermuninnart for creating and running Snag in the Valley for the last four years💕

Moral of this story is - trust your vision, learn as you go, don't be afraid to make mistakes!!

Last night I was looking at buying a screen printing press from Vevor and was humming and hawing about the price and delivery time. Then I thought, hang on. I can weld!
(Thanks to @bccwitt @ufvtrades @skilledtradesbc )

So I went out into the workshop around 9 pm, searched through all the rusting odd and ends my brother left years ago, and got cutting and grinding all the rust off. Then I welded them together without a plan, but all the belief that it would work out. I finished around midnight.

This morning I added the wooden platen, which had to be a few different thicknesses of boards glued together. I can officially say I've recovered from being scared of using the table saw after my plexiglass incident a few weeks ago.

This press had its first test run this afternoon, printing the side one of a double sided t-shirt for an upcoming family reunion.

Satisfying peel and reveal featuring California Quail.

Inspired by a trip to Oliver, BC for an artist talk and workshop at @tinhorncreek with @ampersandartrental. I'll be heading back in September and I hope to catch another glimpse of these social birds.

Printed with @speedball_art super graphic Black.

I did a little shopping Opus to pick up some more Pebeo LINO ink and then I couldn't resist the urge to buy a Winsor and Newton fineliner so I could get another pack of their watercolour postcard packs for free!

Maybe next time I won't carve this big of a lino in one sitting...

Maybe next time I won't carve this big of a lino in one sitting...

It can be hard to keep up with the demands of being a creative, while also managing everything else that comes with life: figuring out what to eat everyday, cleaning, laundry, life admin, exercise, family obligations, and who knows what else.

On top of that there's this overwhelming feeling of feeding the Instagram algorithm while desperately trying not to compare yourself to other artists and what you perceive as them being more successful than you. It's all a ruse. We aren't competing with each other, we are competing with ourselves. This platform has created an invisible pressure to perform, and put out a never ending stream of content. For some people that may not be a challenge, but for me as a neurodivergent person, I spend an incredible amount of time editing, doubting myself, re-editing, reading what I've written over and over again before posting. It's exhausting. It's not manageable long term. I always burn out - and that's where I am right now.

I've decided to share about this challenge to tell anyone else out there also struggling with this problem that it's ok to take a pause to reflect and regroup.

Do iguring out what works for you is more important than some algorithm and "going viral". I don't have an answer for what works, I wish I did or I wouldn't be back here every few months ranting about the same problem. I think a part of it, is how the app updates and then you have to figure out how to do everything all over again. It feels like I'm on a hamster wheel and can't get off. Trying to follow trends, stopping and starting to set up camera angles... ugh.

Share what you want, when you want. Make what you want, when you want. The people who like your work, will stay with you and the people who follow you for one thing are going to leave if you don't keep producing that same content on repeat.

Follow your heart, through down your phone and make something without recording it!

I have exciting news and I don't know how to share it so here it is -> I'm collaborating with @opusartsupplies and @pebeo_officiel!!

What does this mean for the both of us? It means I get to explore and create with their products(might be completely different to my normal work), and share a discount code with you!

Use code: MOLLYGRAYART at checkout to receive 10% off your purchase! Code is valid once per customer so be sure to stock up on all your favourite supplies.

For this bright and colourful piece I used
Pebeo Colorex watercolour ink and Pebeo Acrylic marker in black. I am absolutely obsessed with the vibrancy of colorex watercolour inks and the matte finish of their acrylic markers!

I've added all my recommended supplies in my bio link.

What should I make next?

What I learned this past Thursday at @snaginthevalley.

@speedball_art has two types of oil-based relief printing inks(I didn't realize this until Thursday night). One of them is water miscible and cleans up easily with soap and water, and the other does not. I bought a little set last year and decided to take it with me for the event. I didn't realize that it was the kind of ink that does NOT clean up with soap and water so I had to improvise on the fly. I scraped my ink plate between each layer, and wiped off the brayer as best as I could. I was very happy with the result, but not being able to clean at a live event was challenging!

Printing screens come in different mesh counts and are used for different inks. I just grabbed one of my screens and didn't think about it before heading to the event. I was using @pebeo_officiel opaque ink, which requires a lower mesh count, and I had a high-mesh count screen. The result was that the ink couldn't fully permeate the screen and I had to hand-paint the image. I think I might have ruined the screen as well...

Lesson learned:

Always test your materials before a live event. Making mistakes and improvising in-person is actually quite fun because people get to witness problem solving in real-time. There's no delete and restart button.

Ok I've lost my train of thought. Happy weekend everyone!!

I am sure @maximuskblack will be making a full video of her time @namtaartmaterialsassociation with @pebeo_officiel, but in the meantime, here is a glimpse at the 36"x 96" lino matrix puzzle created in part by artists all over Canada and the US.

I'll be back to posting my regular mishmash of drawing, painting, welding, framing, printmaking and any other medium that tickles my fancy.

This is a European Bee-eater which is a migrating bird that can be found in France. True to their name, they eat bees and wasps, catching them in flight.

this is my last reveal video before sharing the final collaborative giant Lino puzzle put together by @maximuskblack for @pebeo_officiel . The finished piece is 3ft x 8ft, made up of hundred of small linocuts made by people all over North America.

In a time with so much turmoil, being a part of this community project helped me feel connected to people I've never met, who live across Canada, and the US. I am grateful this project came to me at a time I was struggling, with a broken thumb and gallstone surgery looming, it gave me something else to focus on.

Thank you Max, thank you Pébéo, and thank you to everyone who watches my content and participates with comments, encourages me to keep making, signs up for my workshops and classes, buys my art, and hires me for commissions. I appreciate each and every one of you!!

I don't drink anymore, but I can say, if I was in France, I would enjoy the occasional glass of French rosé. Miam Miam

It may look like I'm busy right now but the truth is, I carved and printed these pieces 2 months ago!!

At the time my thumb was broken and now it's healed, mostly anyways.

1. It's only 10 seconds
2. You get to see the joy of revealing a hand printed piece of art
3. You'll be inspired to make your own linocut prints
4. You get to see my face in unflattering positions
5. You have officially supported an independent artist, well done you!!

If you've been following along, the last few days I've been sharing the 8 small linocut prints I had the pleasure of carving while my thumb was broken! It was a big challenge with a short turnaround time, and so many people across North America came together to contribute art for @maximuskblack's big community lino project with @pebeo_officiel for @namtaartmaterialsassociation. At the end of the 8th reveal, I will share the final piece that Max put together!

If you've been following along with these lino puzzle prints, we've only got three to share before the final reveal of @maximuskblack and @pebeo_officiel giant community lino project that was created for @namtaartmaterialsassociation 2026 conference.

I got to see a photo of the final piece today, and I was smiling ear to ear knowing that I played a small part in completing this community artwork. I am looking forward to finding out the final number of participants, from how many provinces, territories and states provided art to make the 3 x 8 foot piece!

I think it's important to show that not all prints come out as planned. This one was really challenging to get a solid print for some reason. Why? I don't know. Too much ink, not enough ink, too much pressure, I smudged it when I put the paper down weirdly, I looked at it wrong...

When working with new products it often feels like you're starting all over, and in a way, you are. Different viscosities, humidities, papers, pressure... there are SO many variables. There are so many variables with printmaking, that often when a printmaker finds an ink they like, they swear by it, and won't try another. I have to admit, until I met @maximuskblack I was one of those people. I had the ink I liked, and used that ink only. I even bought a bunch of other kinds of ink on sale last year, but have been too scared to try them.

If you're just starting out with relief printing. Be kind to yourself. It's a medium that you never stop learning!

Personally, I am grateful to be expanding my knowledge and skill of products.

Reveal 2/8 for pieces submitted for @pebeo_officiel 's community art project for @namtaartmaterialsassociation

Wild French mushrooms!

About the materials - Pebeo ink is water soluable but once dry, it is permanent, which means you can add watercolour to your prints without the ink bleeding! Previously this was only acheivable with oil based inks. The clean up is super easy too, just water!

The brayer has a good weight, rolls easily and evenly, for smooth application.

The paper is thin yet durable. It's much thinner than what I'm used to printing on so it did take a little getting used to.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with these tools and materials, and grateful to @maximuskblack for involving me in this project!

How unbelievably unnatural is it to stand in front of a camera and look directly into it?!? I'm sorry that I can't take it seriously. I'll try again with another piece.

I had so much fun making this postcard submission for Art Mail- the global watercolour gallery created and hosted by @winsorandnewton

To join in, all you have to do is purchase any Winsor and Newton product from participating art stores around the globe, (in BC, that's @opusartsupplies) in the month of May, and you get a free pack of postcards. In the pack, there is a pre-paid postcard that you art on, and then send it in the mail. That's it! You art will end up in London as part of a huge global watercolour gallery! You don't have to be a professional artist, you just have to make art using their product, and it's great watercolour and gouache! I think it is such an innovative global community building project, which is why I am blabbering on about it. Truly an ingenious idea from their marketing department.

I've been wanting to draw and paint these figs for a while and I'm really happy with how they turned out. I made a high resolution scan to possible get digital prints made at a later date with my other fruit watercolours. What fruit should I do next?

I am so excited to start sharing about this HUGE community project that includes artist that span all of Canada and the US!

Thank you @maximuskblack for reaching out to me months ago to be a small part in this top secret @pebeo_officiel project that will be revealed in its entirety this weekend at @namtaartmaterialsassociation

Over the next few days I will share "the making of" reels and posts. There will be lots of peel and reveals!

If only things were this easy IRL, amirite? LOL

For serious though, I'm prepping to paint my @winsorandnewton postcard submission that I picked up last week from @opusartsupplies !!

I decided to stick with the fruit theme I've been working on lately, and drew a bundle of figs. I like to start my watercolour pieces with a fine line ink drawing for a more illustrative feel.

You can get your pack of postcards free with any purchase of Winsor and Newton purchase for the whole month of May. It's a great incentive to try something new, or get back to a forgotten medium. This is not an affiliate post, I just think it's a really cool project. Once you finish your submission, you mail it(for free) to London, England, and your piece becomes part of a global exhibition! How cool!?!?

If only things were this easy IRL, amirite? LOL

For serious though, I'm prepping to paint my @winsorandnewton postcard submission that I picked up last week from @opusartsupplies !!

10ish years ago, I bought these Setacolor fabric paints on Granville Island, at a place that no longer exists.

Yesterday, I was talking with @maximuskblack about Setacolor fabric paint and I wondered if they would work with screen printing, so today I dusted off the paints I had and went to town on upcycled Jean patches.

The answer is a resounding YES! Not only do they work, they have an incredible shelf life. I've had these paints for 10 years and not only are they not dried out, they work wonderfully!

Now I will use one of these patches to mend @philprajoux torn jeans.

1. You get a spoon designed just for you.
2. You develop fine motor skills.
3. You're using sharp tools which makes you look tough and mysterious.
4. You get to walk around flipping a spoon for no reason.
5. You start to build weird callouses that make handshakes awkward, leaving the recipient wondering what would cause such rough skin.

More over, carving spoons with @flexcut.tools Carvin' Jack makes me feel like anything is possible. With a bit more practice, I could go on nature walks and leave the forest with faces engraved into living trees to spook the next generation, and that feel me with glee.

For some reason I'm really into drawing fruit right now. Something about the bright colours make me happy. What about you?

While my thumb is about 80% back in business, my desire to become ambidextrous in my art practice has only just begun.

So far I have 20 small pieces made using my non-dominant hand. As my thumb is getting stronger, I find myself reaching for everything with my left hand, but choose to sit in discomfort to use my right hand. It's slow, painfully slow, but the progress from one piece to the next is encouraging! Would you be interested in fruit art? Let me know!!

Happy Friday! I have a stupid cold! But I managed to do some plein air spoon carving this afternoon. Will have to bring a phone stand next time.

This is my second spoon using @flexcut.tools spoon blanks with their multi tool carving set and carvin' jack 2.0.

The design is made to be comfortable to hold for ambidextrous use.

As a printmaker, there's nothing more satisfying than peeling the print to reveal the work! When there's multiple layers, each layer has the potential for an irreversible mistake so the reveal is that much sweet when it works out!

This is my 5th ever reduction print, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I'm so used to working from dark to light with acrylic painting, so having to think from light to dark is very confusing.

What to see more reduction printing? Let me know.
