Inspirational work Molly. Thanks for sharing. 🤩
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for educating me on the process and techniques. Very interesting how many ways you have to influence the outcome in contrast to melding your schedule with ink drying. Things in your control versus out of your control. I loved seeing the changes of the tree and the field. A reminder of so many things. I like the boldness the last layer added to both prints. Good wishes for their finish.
Wow, just gorgeous! You've certainly honed your skills in printmaking. Great colours, composition, use of line work in the engraving! 🌟✨
Thank you very much!
Very nice. I do a similar thing with layers of wood. I'm slowing working on Seasons of the year. Got hung up due to a Palm tree hanging off the block. Such is life - got that figured out.
Sounds great! Working with wood is very rewarding!
Amazing work Molly! I loved both of those prints and loved watching the process. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for watching Rose, I'm so pleased you like them!
Great video, I love both of the prints but i think the tintagel one is my favourite of the two 😊
Thank you Natalie! 🥰 Yes I agree, I’m really excited about the Tintagel print, feels like a bit of a breakthrough ✨
I love process videos. Well done, Molly!
Thank you very much Jim!
Beautiful. I appreciate the insight into your process.❤
Thank you! It’s nice for me to have the creation of this print documented like this 🥰☀️
A great video.. thanks for posting it and including the way you register the prints.. very helpful thank you! 🙏
Thank you Molly! Absolutely fascinating!❤
Good grief. What an amazing process. Im super impressed watching the progress, how you plan the layers, the engraving and the colors. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you! It is quite the process, it feels like magic when it all comes together!
Amazing print again and a fabulous apron, looks far too lovely to get ink all over but I suspect you are a neater printmaker than me😊
Hello Molly, this is a lovely video. Your creativity and exacting standards really reflect in your end products. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Jane! I enjoy the problem solving elements these more complex prints throw at me 🥰
@@mollylemonart You're welcome Molly and I enjoy watching the process. 😊
I love your work! Your talent is beautiful!
I absolutely loved both of these prints and I’m hoping to see them in the flesh at Bovey Tracey! (I bought my birthday present from my husband to me at your stall there last year, and am hoping to do the same this year!) I was also really impressed by your technique for registration - simple but effective!
Thank you Janet! Yes I'll definitely be taking these prints to Bovey Tracey, lots of prep going on in the studio at the moment to get ready for the show 🥰 See you in a couple of weeks!
This is really awsome 😮😮😮😮
Thank you!!
Amazing work Molly! I really admire your attention to detail 👏 You put so much hard work into your prints and it always pays off! Keep doing what you do 😁
Thank you Rachel! It’s nice when the prints turn out as you’d hoped, it rarely happens with me 😅
It's amazing all the tiny details you achieve Molly! 💚💚💚
Thank you Pamela!
☺👏🙂
Thank you so much. As a beginner, this really helps!
Oh good I’m glad to hear that!
@@mollylemonartI don’t think you realize how much you have helped budding printmakers on every level. The transparency you showed when revealing your months long struggle with the landscape encouraged me to not give up and to keep going. Thank you so much!
Molly always a joy to watch you work!
Aw thank you! ✨
The detail in the mackerel sky is so incredible 😍. Don’t your fingers get sore Molly? Not from injury, I mean pressing down as you carve and control the tool? Or are you not applying a lot of pressure when you carve, there’s so much minute detail!
Thank you Natalie! Yes my hands do get sore, I have to be careful as a few years ago I was unable to work for a while as I developed some issues in my hands from engraving... My problem is I'm obsessive with my engraving so I find it hard to stop and rest my hands!
Loved seeing the process. How long do your inks take to dry usually? 💛
Thank you! Oh it depends on weather and what colours I use, the black may dry in a couple of days but yellow can take weeks 🙈 also the more the ink is layered the longer it takes to dry which is why I’m having issues with these ones, the 4th Mackerel Sky later has been drying for 22 days and is still too wet to print on 😅
