To test images- I print the plate/Lino on a sheet of Mylar film. Then overlay on top of your print. You can move it around and see if you like it.
Let it dry and save the Mylar image for future experiments.
Thanks for the tip, I have printed some onto Mylar now ☺
I really drawn into this image, beautiful ink color.
Thank you, Sharon. I made the ink myself. If you have walnut trees growing in your area, it’s quite easy
