Bit of fun before breakfast

It has been a busy week so my ‘studio’ is a bit of a mess.  So while I would like to prepare for my day in Leicester on Monday there are other things to do. So quickly before breakfast I have drawn and cut some type high lino.  I didn’t intend to spend too long and it did feel like fun. The blocks are quite robust like ‘real wood’ that I use to engrave but of course the surface and cutting quality is quite different. The lino is generous and allows for some freedom; wood on the other hand is a hard task master … doesn’t suffer fools.

However, it will be good to see the difference while printing both with letterpress on a printing press.  After breakfast I hope to proof this little bits of fun; and return to some tidying that will take me to elevenses … Have a good day
