I've been wanting to try linoleum cutting (linocut) and printing again, since I first learned how in high school. That was a long time ago, but thankfully not so long that I forgot. I chose to do a layered print so I could have a colored floral background for the white sugar skull. I did a few test prints before settling on a printing style and placement I liked. After I perfect the printing, I will make more and have them available for sale in my Etsy shop. Each one will be slightly different, due to hand printing these, so you will have a one of a kind piece of art.
Every other Thursday in the 5.0 year, I will post my own Dia de la Abby creations Every Thursday in the 4.0 year, I posted my Dia de la Abby creations and occasionally tutorials with instructions on how I made my pieces. Hopefully you feel inspired by my posts just as I was by Noah's Skull-A-Day 1.0 daily project. Need more of me than just a weekly dose, follow me on Facebook, Google+ and/or Twitter..
that's beautiful. i still have my linoleum blocks from printmaking class. maybe i'll pull them out and make some new prints!
ReplyDeletei love the layers in this. the skull looks like it's hovering. since it's a sugar skull, maybe you could sprinkle it with glitter? that'd be cool!
oooh glitter. That's a good idea. I have some glitter paints that might work well for printing.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I need to tweak a few of the fine lines, but overall, I'm really happy with how it came out.
