Periwinkle Ink
Southampton, Hampshire
I am a self taught linocut artist, working from my home studio on the sunny south coast. I love to create hand carved ink stamps which can be used to create your own recyclable wrapping paper and gift tags. These are also great for creating your own unique invitations, journals, scrap booking, product tags, the list is endless!
Having lost my job in Finance during covid, I turned my hand to linocut and printmaking. Despite always having flair for art from a young age, I never in my wildest dreams would have thought I could turn my creations into a career. Yet here we are; every cloud has a silver lining! I'm loving being 'my own boss', enabling me to work the hours I choose, and fit my business around my busy family life with 3 young children and a partner who often works away from home for long periods.
I take inspiration largely from the natural world, flora and fauna, and I am always open to new ideas or suggestions of ranges I can create.
I am passionate about making my business as eco-friendly as possible, and aim to send out orders in recycled/repurposed packaging wherever possible. So much so, I have friends/family and members of the local community who save their packaging materials for me to reuse!
I hope anyone who orders one of my stamps enjoys the unique element of owning a one of a kind, hand carved item and can feel the love and care that went into creating each one.
