Naive Flowers - Lino Cut

Yes, I thought I’d try my hand at Lino Cutting which is something I haven’t had a go at since I was in school. In fact, the piece of lino I used was something which had been kicking about in one of my materials folder since I was at school – so I guess I liberated it!! The background is made of rollered oil paint but I did use printing ink on top.  I do remember using a great big heavy press which I don’t have the luxury of using here, so pressing the design across was a process made up of pushy scrapey things and brut-force!! In the end though, I got some nice solid colour, albeit a little embossed looking!!  I quite like it that way actually!

Coming soon………I am about to create some greetings cards!! Keep an eye out!!
