The lino printing adventure continues! Learning a lot as I go...mainly to do with how sharp lino tools are. I'm planning to use this as a book jacket for my Fairy Tale Activity Book. Next I plan to use a different colour other than blue, green and bluey-green. Off the chain.

Lino printing!
Today I finished printing the third and final colour on my first ever unsupervised reduction lino print. 'Confusing' doesn't even cover it. It's pretty much maths. 'Messy' doesn't even come close. My jumper is splotchy and my fingers are blue. But I feel quite chuffed with the result so I'm going back for more! This time I will wear an apron.
First two colours:
Ten prints made it to the finish!
