Back to the Lino.

 With another exhibition coming up soon, I wanted more Botanical prints from which to choose pieces for the exhibition . Here is the start of a Bottlebrush lino cut.

 It isn't going to be easy to get the spikiness of the flowers, but I think that this method will work.

            It's looking O.K so far, but removing all the surrounding lino will be a challenge.

                 I think that the edges are too straight and even, but a test print will check that.

 
  Not too bad at all really. Just a bit of a rough edge work needed and I'll be set to try a 'proper' print.
