Kilpeck Angel...in print!

You'll remember that I showed a few pages from my new sketchbook...

...with drawings of carvings from around the south doorway at Kilpeck.

Well...

...I decided to excavate and dust off my lino carving tools...

...and make a start on a series of print blocks to use in some mixed-media collages.

Here's how it went...

Sketchbook page scanned and cropped.



Transferred onto lino using handwriting carbon paper.




Marked over with a Sharpie ready for carving.




Taking the plunge!!




Nearly there...




Done!!




First pull.





How it compares with the sketchbook page.




And the next one will be "flipped" so that the image comes out the right way around!1 :-o



Ooooops!!


....after all these years...

...it's good to know we can STILL get things wrong!! :-)))))
