Happy eating too much chocolate day 🐰

I’m currently exploring Edinburgh, such a beautiful city 😍

I hope everyone is having a lovely long weekend 💖

So I kinda stopped posting for but I loved the challenge and thought I’d still do the last prompt ‘Product Story’ a little late 😅

My cat design is one of my favourites and the design I have grown into the biggest collection, and it all started as a 2am phone doodle when I couldn’t sleep 🩵

I cleaned up the design on Illustrator and since then have screenprinted and risograph printed 100s of cards (spot the tails on the back of the cards) ✨

Screenprinted two different cat print designs in lots of variations 🌈

Developed the design into my first pin badge which I got made in two colours😻

And got my latest edition of Neon Cats Risograph printed at the end of last year 🌞

I’m thinking stickers next if anyone has any good recommendations for sticker printers let me know 💖

I loved seeing everyone’s posts over the last month, well done if you managed from start to finish 💙

Yesterday’s was Details/Variant, so I thought it would be fun to show how I’ve developed my Koi Pond over the years 🎏

The first version I printed myself at on their beginner risograph course. I chose to print in green and orange and it turned out so cool, but overall I worried I went a bit hard on the orange layer so lost some details on the fish 💚

Once they had sold out I created my second version which is in my shop at the moment, I updated the design adding more details and changing some things around but if you swipe you can see the same layout on both ❤️

This time I went for Fluro Red and Light Teal and this came out so pretty, if I sell out maybe I’ll deign a new version, in some new colours 🌈

Today’s prompt is Aim ✨

My aim for 2025 is to make more prints and cards, everything feels a bit slow for me at the moment as work is really busy, but I’m hoping with the longer daylight hours and with warmer weather on the way, I can start making some of the prints I have planned very soon 🩵

Excited to do some more screenprinting and experimenting and hopefully make some fun things to share with you all 🌈

Today is day 6, of and today’s prompt is Tools & Materials, as a screenprinter I have lots of go to tools! 🎨

🩵 My trustee wooden squeegee, I have a few different sizes and my faves are from

🩵 A craft knife for making paper stencils, I actually fine this one quite hard to hold, so would love some recommendations if you have a good one

🩵 Paintbrushes which I use for my painterly screenprints, also helpful for small patch up jobs on a print

🩵 Paint, (usually neon) I have tried lots of different paints over the years, here’s a few of my faves

🩵 Silkscreen, in screenprinting you can get screens in aluminium or wood, I prefer the aluminium as I find them more sturdy, also from or

🩵 Then the most important screenprinting tool, TAPE! You can’t get anywhere without a good roll of low tack Parcel tape, to tape off areas of your screen you don’t want to print and a roll of masking tape, to tape down your acetate and print markers for registration

These are some of my screenprinting must haves, can’t wait to see what everyone else uses 🌞

prompt two is Style, I always find this question hard to answer 😅

My style is all about shapes, building them up to reveal animals, plants or structures ranging in abstractness 💙

My work ranges from the graphic vectors of my Risograph Prints to the painterly feel of my Screenprints 🌞

I am a printmaker and I love the messiness, creativity and challenges this can bring. Also nothing beats the bright neon inks, you can get using these techniques 😍

This year I’m taking part in March Meet the Maker, prompt one is Brand Reintroduction ✨

I started Abi Prints back in 2020 after learning how to screenprint at Hot Bed Press in 2019 💙

I create work from my home studio (aka half of my bedroom) in Prestwich, Manchester 🥲

Abi Prints is my creative outlet which came from a need to create physical work after spending so much time at the computer for my day job in the Animation Industry 🌞

I always try to experiment and push my style as well as my technical abilities, to create fun and unique designs based on what is inspiring me in the moment ✨

I love colour, especially neon, I find it so hard when picking final colours to choose just one, so I usually end up with two or three variations of my designs 🌈

Lovely to see so many markers posts already, I can’t wait to get to know you all better 💖

My new Christmas cards are now live on my website, I’m so happy with how they came out 🎄

Each of these cards is screenprinted with three layers of metallic ink making them extra shiny and can be transformed into a little Christmas tree decoration, in a few simple steps.

The tree at my parents house always makes me feel the most Christmassy, filled with warm white fairy lights and an amazing mix of decorations. I wanted to capture the magic in this card design and have even sprinkled in a few Abi Prints designs as baubles, see if you can spot them!

So feels like forever ago now but I’ve been on holiday and wanted to share all the amazing things I got ✨

I love my new leather bag so much it came to Crete with me, it’s my everyday bag already 💚
I had my eye on this from the last super seconds so I knew I needed to get, I can’t wait to get it framed and put it up 🩵
I love having lots of pretty and unique greetings cards in stock, so I knew I wanted to get my hands on these for my upcoming Birthdays 🤩
this necklace is so cute, I chose this strawberry necklace from all the designs and I love it so much 🍓
not technically a second but the bunny was the last one I needed so now I have the full collection, got to get them framed and put them all up and the sweetest little troll print too🌈
the cutest crochet cat, growing up I always had black cats and wanted this little loaf to remind me of all my favourite pets 😻
I grabbed one of these moon planters, straight away and love how it looks in my plant pot, such beautiful glasswork 🌙
one of my fellow champions, we all swapped items as a nice little keepsake from the event and these prints and cards I got are so gorgeous 😍

Now to get printing so I can have more seconds for the next event, also can’t wait to show you my new Christmas card design, November feels like the right time to share this right? 🎄
