I have been trying out some Lino printing , firstly with a Christmas present kit and then at Artybird. I am not sure where I am going with this but it’s good to have a play. I started simple , with shapes and black acrylic paint on paper . I was quite pleased with the effect.
Last week at Artybird I tried again with inktensive blocks and a more complicated design , in fact two designs. The idea was to print onto felt.
It is totally unintentional that they look like legless birds.
Here I have tried printing on fabric with the inktensive blocks.
Not very impressive. Worse was to follow as I tried to print on felt.
What a disappointment , I think my shape was not well chosen and getting an even distribution of the colour medium to transfer to the felt seems very challenging.
Back home I tried a simple black print
I think I better stick to felting !
