Lino print experiments

I have frequently used this print block on the left in my book projects and I decided to extend its use by adding another design that would link with it.

Height 4"

The blocks were printed onto black paper using white gesso and, after drying, coloured with washes of acrylic ink, coloured pencil, gel pens and gold ink.

A couple of extra prints of the new block were used for greeting cards

... and this one is a paper cast, sealed with gesso
and painted with acrylic and gold inks
