That lino print, and how it’s coming along…

But first…
Dulltown, UK/Europe: Today’s existential angst is centred around the sound of the word, barnacle.

Doh! This morning I have had a migraine jumping up at me and demanding my attention, so I shall make this a short post and then go and have a lie down with curtains closed and eyes shut.

Here’s a quick update on how my latest lino print, mentioned a few days ago, is coming along, (click here). The design has been added to and improved – the lino is now marked out and as you see I have made a start on the cutting.

I do like those pointy bird-beak style blades one can get for one’s Swann-Morton scalpel,  it’s the type of cutter I use most. The red sticky tape on the handle is so that I can spot it amongst all the other stuff cluttering up the bench.
This picture shows the lower part of the block – it’s  looking alright so far, don’t you think?
Hm, I’m reasonably optimistic…

Sorry, that’s all I can manage this morning.
See you tomorrow dear reader.
