More Lino Cutting.

Even with a cut finger I forged ahead and started to really get moving with cutting out the image.
 
 Here is the first print, just with a grey stamp pad, to see how things are looking. Over all I'm quite pleased.  The seed pods are a bit out of proportion, being a little too small, but perhaps they're a lot further back than the flowers!
 This is the piece of lino with the ink still on it. I left the blank piece of uncarved lino in the top right hand corner on purpose as I thought that I might carve something like an insect there, but I'm not sure if I will or not. Easy to remove it if I go ahead and don't like it however.
                                     Now to clean up all the ridges and bits that are too high.
