This weekend I’m participating in Alberta Culture Days. Saturday I get to do a free foam printing workshop sponsored by the multicultural association. It should be a lot of fun and it’s geared towards all skill levels so if you are in the area stop in and say hi and take in all the fun events!
As I mentioned earlier I was invited to exhibit my art at the final day of the Epcore Riverfest. A celebration of the North Saskatchewan River. This was the first year that Fort Saskatchewan has participated and they wanted a local Artist presence to add to the exhibit.
I was originally supposed to set up inside the pavilion but the weather was nice and the exposure was better outside so I had a gorgeous albeit chilly location and got to meet with some wonderful people as they took in the beauty surrounding us.
Here are a few pictures and pieces of the day.
Big thank you to everyone that came by for a look, sale or chat!

As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been working away on a new series of Block Prints inspired by themes and imagery in the Bible. I’ve been focusing primarily on animals and plants of significance.
So far I have done the classic Lion and Lamb, Eden tree Pomegrantes, Soul Mates, Sparrow and a Honey Bee.
Here’s a peak at these new blocks and two test print and reveals.
You can see lots more of these by following me on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/milke.amanda/
Once the print run is done I’ll be listing the prints for sale in my etsy shop and by direct message. What’s your favorite so far?
Cheers!

As I was hunting through the studio over the weekend looking for something else, I came across my stash of block printing supplies and thought I was long overdue for a new run of prints.
So I spent the weekend carving out some blocks. Here’s a look at the new pieces, I have a few more in the planning stages that I hope to carve out soon and then maybe this coming weekend I’ll have time to do a print run.
Cheers,
Amanda
