I’ve made the first cuts on from the first lino block of the project I’ll be working on for the next couple of months. I’m experimenting at the moment, trying out different ideas and ways of cutting into the lino. This is a small detail from a drawing I’ve done. I’m using Flexcut tools andContinue reading “The First Cuts.”

Another of my Mari Lwyd artworks from the archives that I’m posting up to her night, Hen Galan on January 13th. I did this in 2019, working from an original drawing, cutting into grey traditional lino and printing using the technique of chine collé.

Stripy Shiny Skull
Here’s my Mari Lwyd linocut for this year. I cut the block a couple of weeks ago and did some proof prints at the 9-to-90 Creative Community to demonstrate the chine collé technique.
