A new project


Here are some photos from my most recent lino cutting project.  It is half of a collaboration project that my husband and I are creating for 'Around The Kitchen Table/Art Club' this month.

Here are some photos from today and yesterday.  The final should be done in the next week...cough cough...hurry up husband!!!


Using the head template on tracing paper to draw the pattern for the lino design...


This is where I started cutting...


More cutting.  I enjoyed cutting today as I was sat in the sun listening to some podcasts.  The sun is great for heating up the lino and it makes it much easier to cut...


Test prints in blue...


This is a lino that I've been working on for about a year...no joke!  It's quite funny I think, as whenever I get bored (hardly ever) I do some cutting on this lino.  I took a print from it today while all the inks were out as I wasn't sure if the textures in the background were going to show up - they did - hooray!  Who knows when it will get finished, but it's always good to have background projects in my opinion.

  1. Gillian, your lino cutting is so clean and has great movement. I just became the newest follower of ART CLUB. Thanks for leading me there.
