What do you think? Please excuse the wonky camera angle... the image is a proper rectangle in real life. Rather than the usual white I chose some gorgeous coloured paper with a slight texture to print my carved lino on this morning as a bit of an experiment. The different colours go beautifully with each other. I'm thinking it would be lovely to have a set of different carvings on toning papers as a series.
The ink is still drying on this one... I love this olive green paper. I used the back of a wooden spoon as a brayer. I do have a fancy baren but my spoon is so much better! I don't know why that is, maybe it's because it's how I learned to do it. Maybe one day I will have a proper press... something to dream about. Or should I say, never lose hope ;-)

these are so sweet. I love the colour of paper you chose. They look great.
thanks, glad you like them :-)
You've inspired me to have a go, it's something I've always fancied doing but I'm not sure I can capture the character of a living creature the way you do. I might try an inanimate object! Yours is lovely and I love the idea of creating a series - look forward to seeing the rest.
that's great! i'd love to see what you create too.
