I printed up another lino block portrait with chine collé, this time with just a small fragment to highlight the moon; my last post showed a lino print with much more chine collé. I like to use shiny metallic foils, mostly from sweet (candy) wrappings. Unfortunately, fewer and fewer confectionery companies are using foils these days, switching to shiny crinkly plastic, which really isn’t suitable. Luckily there’s an old-fashioned sweet shop in Swansea Market that still sells foiled sweets and chocolates so I can get my foils there. Husb is happy…I don’t really like sweets and chocolate much, so he gets to eat them.
