Finished Mari Lwyd lino prints.

I finished cutting my latest Mari Lwyd lino block, I’ve been doing one each winter for a few years now. I did the proof print a few days ago and I did a little bit more cutting, not much, and now I’m happy with the block so I’ve done the first few prints off it, most of them with chine collé.  

I used lightweight tissues and metal foil (from sweets / candies) and a Pritt glue stick to apply the chine collé. I took the prints with a traditional Japanese baren using Cranfield Safe-Wash Relief ink in black onto Japanese HoSho paper.
