I finished carving my latest Mari Lwyd linocut this morning and pulled a couple of proof prints, which are the first to be printed and give you the chance to check out the image and see if the block needs any more work. I’m pretty pleased with it, I will cut into a few of the thinner lines that are so small that they’re holding the ink and coming out black, but that’s a quick job, so I’ll be getting ready to print the edition sometime soon. I might think about adding some chine collé as well.
This is based on some sketches I did at night at the Gower Wassail and Mari Lwyd celebration at Hen Galan.

The background with the shadows of the people is super impressive as well
That is so rad (a phrase showing my age) kinda makes me want to make a lino cut/print at some point.
Thank you, please give it a go, it’s a great medium 🙂
