Background.

The colour shown here is much too dark, but I wanted to see if this rather busy background of flower images would work for this new project. The size of the SoftCut was supposed to be 15 cm x 20 cm, but unfortunately it's a little smaller in each direction. I wanted to fill a 30 cm x 40 cm page completely, but it won't be quite right, so I might have to put a solid margin in somewhere.  In a much paler colour it might not be too obvious, anyway it's only the background with a lot to be printed on top. I've used a stamp pad and ink here which is why the image is rather blotchy, but the final print will be made using linocut ink giving a much denser coverage.
