CATT PRINT: Projects

Middle child got me this lovely whale pot, this cornflower will grow too big but I liked the way it looked like a spout of water.

Last of the Iris, all flowers have been cut and collected now.

Crocus doing well.

Enjoying my writing desk even more, smells like gardening.

Yeah, more greenhouse.

More bulbs are starting to flower, and soon my journal writing desk will be very colourful and making me very happy!

Been a while.

I need to get my shop back online.

Did some normal prints too, then packaged them all up and popped them in the postbox, all done for this month!

Printed off the final sets of postcards at the Riso studio this morning.

The studio has been getting out of hand, stuff on every surface.

Still cat-sitting this one, also, it's my birthday today!

Crocuses and the bulbs are doing really well.

Cat sitting this one over the weekend.

Making a special envelope.

VERY NEARLY FINALLY!!

Worked on the Riso code until I got to here, a generator that spits out two files, one for each colour.

Things are definitely growing in there!

Swapped studio for the day.

I swear I'm not sure where to put half these photos.

Pretty sure this "Studio and Life" project should just become; Daniel's Gardening Blog.

I swear the pink "pops" a lot more than this.

Had a chance to organise the Riso studio a bit, grabbed myself a label maker and labelled up the paper we have.

Some of the seedlings are "leggy", that's probably bad, and it means I've been a bad seedling parent, but at the same time I don't like seeing the seedlings growing all sideways and everything.

The Iris Harmony bulbs are doing well, not sure what I'm supposed to do with them yet, but you know, here they are.

I've been down to London the past few days, and took a moment to pop Tate Modern on the first evening.

I got the rest of the asemic writing plotted to send off to the Patreon supporters.

Grabbed some new brush pens and had a go at some asemic writing for the Patreon supporters.

Snowy and misty morning to start the day!

Finished the brush postcards for #ptpx2025, and stamped the back of them, just going to let it all dry before moving onto the next part.

Ooooooooh!!!

More experiments with the brush, really loving how the ink goes down.

First pass at the #ptpx2025 postcards with the brushes, I think it worked out pretty good!

I also loved how the light hit the Vestaboard today.

Perhaps some more stamps for the "Cattaloguing" system.

Hello!

3d printed some small clips to help the seedlings keep upright as the deal with the swing between sub-zero temperatures and back.

Got myself a nice big stamper, 13 alpha-numeric thingies, oh the things I can stamp with this.

Got myself a whole bunch of brush pens, should be fun.

Quick tests for next months' Patreon "rewards".

Same again, spending time in the greenhouse, but in the light this time.

Did some hanging out in the greenhouse this morning, and a little bit of repotting.

Made a small little zine about the dots and printed it on the Riso printer.

These are the two final dot designs for the A5 artworks I'm sending out to my Patreon supporters.

Tidied up the Riso studio a bit and put some shelves up to hold all the stuff.

Made some code based geometric abstract Christmas tree riso cards to send to people.

Wanted to show off the whole dither patter by feeding a gradient into the code and getting a nice demonstration of how we add and remove dots from the pattern to build up shading.

Drew a sort of diagram of the 12 dots used in the dither pattern, these 12 dots are turning into the motif for this bit of the project.

Started cutting up the "dither" POSCA cards so I can send them out to the #ptpx25 crew.

Working on some wintery Yule envelopes to send Christmas/Holiday/Yule/New Year cards off in.
