I decided to experiment in combining a solarplate etching with a linocut. I drew the roses on glass and then exposed it onto a light sensitive plate. I developed the plate, inked it and then printed it on fine printmaking paper using my etching press. I then cut out the border in linoleum and printed it around the solarplate print. PHEW! It was tricky to get it lined up correctly but I think it came out pretty well!
I like the added color that the linocut brings.
