or you could be lucky and get the one I posted onto Ebay

Earlier I cut a linocut I wasnt happy with into smaller pieces. ("Chrysanth")  Here is another.

"Bloom"

2.9" h x 2.9" w [7.5 cm x 7.5 cm].

I experimented by wiping colour into the cut areas of the block (with cotton bud), then I inked up the rest of the block in brown-black with the roller. Printed with dampened paper on the press.





I quite liked the texture of the pink and the green intaglio. I enhanced them later with a pale wash of watercolour.





One of the pieces will be for sale on Ebay.

1.Collage and image blocked in with thin paint

2. Blocking in more colours

3. Colours, including darks and lights, with a bit of 'drip'

Wanted larger areas of colour and less detail, also enriched the colour values.

Mosaic

Have had a few setbacks. Because my calculations were out (despite the computer - must have been my measurements) we ran out of tiles. So am still waiting for them to arrive.

We have completed 3 of the six panels and for the last couple of days we were grouting and polishing. The excitement got the best of people and I had a phone call yesterday to tell me they had installed one of the panels! I was a bit taken aback because I was not ready for it to go, but its up and I am excited to see the rest of them.

Workshop

 Had a lovely time with the ladies at Ryde Art Society. We had two days of photopolymer printmaking (solarplate). Here are some photos of the weekend.
