I did some more drawing on my new Mari Lwyd linocut, it is almost finalised, and I got on with some more carving today. I rarely complete the drawing before I start carving because I often want to change some of the design when I see it starting to take shape on the block. Some printmakers make very precise designs but I like to allow for some spontaneity when I’m printmaking.

What a creepy subject
It’s an old Welsh tradition, with echoes back to the Celtic goddess Epona. Some people find it quite scary, others funny. I think the Mari Lwyd is a good laugh, I guess you have to be there 🙂
😁 having Welsh in my blood but knowing nothing, this was enlightening all the same
It had almost died out by the mid 20th century, but has had a revival this century
