I think everyone's gotten theirs by now, so please enjoy the linocut I designed, carved, printed on cards and sent out for February's International Correspondence Writing Month :)
[Image Description 1: A black linocut print featuring a moth with sparkling star eye patterns on its six wings and surrounded by a starburst of lines and small stars. End description.]
Some process and more details under the cut - including the other stamps I carved to go on the envelopes and inside the cards!
Please enjoy my chaotic printing station and my beautiful stack of shelves, baskets, and my baking racks being used as a place for all the prints to dry (well, most of them)
I also carved individual stamps of the starry eyeballs based off the eye shapes in the moth's wings. I love love love love how they came out, and also had a lot of fun with the variety of little star stamps I made to embellish things with.
[Image ID 2: A photo of my kitchen table overtaken by a precarious stack of wire shelves and racks that are covered in drying prints. In front of the drying prints is my printing surface where the ink, roller, and the linocut are visible.
Image ID 3-4: Photos of the envelopes used to send the cards, they've got stars stamped on the front and a large starry eye stamped on the flap. The eyes are two different variations of a similar design and match the eye pattern on the moth's wings. End Description.]
For funsies, please also enjoy how gorgeous this design came out on brown paper
[Image Description 5: Another image of the same print, this time on brown paper intead of white]

Heyo, friends! Have this thing I painted yesterday, as a result of wondering what would happen if I mixed charcoal with liquid oil medium :]
Mild cw for blood/graphic imagery, but it's really just some abstract-ish red splatter lmao
The charcoal I used was really roughly ground (I put my charcoal scraps in a little box together with a rock and shake it up every once in a while), so it gave me some really nice texture when I mixed it with the oil medium! The eyebrows and the darkness around the eyes are good examples, as I haven't used anything else there :]
This is honestly just a mindless, self-indulgent scribble (I painted it with a butter knife lmfao-) , but I figured it would be fun to share in case someone might find my little experiment interesting ^-^
I'm thinking about finishing it, but I'm not quite sure how I would do that lmao. I might add in some painted flowers, poppies could look very nice, I imagine!
Spur-of-the-moment experiments aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡
Yours truly, Stickbug 🪲

A little mixed media New Year's card I made for my great aunt. I know it's only halfway thru December, but I have to send this with another thing across the US & I doubt it'll get there in time for xmas, so I went for the next thing. Also I don't remember if I've ever done a new year's themed card before so it's like a little enrichment activity for me.
