Today I packed up an edition of fourteen little lino prints to send to Boise, Idaho, USA to the lovely Wingtip Press for this year’s Leftovers print exchange. The Director, Amy Nack has been organising this for five years now and attracts miniature prints from all over the world. This year’s deadline is April the 15th.
This linoprint is based on some small sketchbook drawings I did of petroglyphs, paleolithic rock carvings, in the Karakoram Mountains in Pakistan a few years ago. The original carvings are possibly 10,000 years old . The petroglyphs are mostly of animals, mainly the ibex.
The image is 10 cm square and printed onto handmade Japanese lightweight paper with black oil-based relief / litho ink.

So expressive.. I love the way your life seems to be steeped in the creative Rosie 🙂
Thank you, Helen. Credit though must go to the Paleolithic artists who carved the original 🙂
This is really beautiful. Love the clear lines. Have a happy day! 🙂
Thank you 😀
Lovely! I remember that day, wandering around looking for petroglyphs. What a great trip!
It was wonderful. You and Amy were so patient, being frogmarched around snake river while I stared at a load of rocks lol 😀
We sure wanted you to take in all the sights of the area. Too bad no rattle snakes surfaced. Maybe you’ll see some cool snakes and rock art in Pakistan!
hahah that’s bonkers!
Oh I hope so. I saw the rock art last time I went but no snakes! Lots of camels though
How about a camel with rock art tats? 😀
