B&W Hare and Bridge

Printed in just black and white on white BFK Rives paper!

The Hare and the Bridge

I wanted to try something a little different with the linocut other than just print it in black and white so I decided to try printing it on gray paper with two colors and white chine color paper. I do like the soft look that the white paper has given the print. Now it's sitting under some books to see if it will go flat!

More 3 Way Rabbits!

I've been cutting away the linoleum on my first rabbit piece, adding a bridge in the background. Here's my plate so far, inked up. Sometimes the plate is more interesting than the print itself! But still I don't think it's quite finished so perhaps I'll add some finer details or try adding some chine colle when I make the print........what to do!

Pink Lotus

I went to our local botanical gardens the other days with some friends and my camera and we found that the Japanese garden was full of beautiful pink lotus flowers. So luminous in the sun! It was a pleasure to find such photogenic models!

More rabbits!

Hey, who's eating my flowers??

3-Way Rabbits or Rabbits 3 Ways!

I've always liked rabbits. Who doesn't? (unless you're a gardener!) I've decided to do three works with rabbits, each a different method. I'm starting with this black and white linocut and see where it goes. It's my serious, resting rabbit! I've started with a simple drawing as a guideline and still have some thinking to do before committing to a background. I couldn't wait to get started so here I've made a few cuts with my linoleum tool.
