It shows. I'm learning by seeing examples.

You've got me pondering ways to add some textures to my linocuts...

@helveticablanc

I'm working slowly. Still trying to figure out the lino part. Specifically, how one prints over irregular surfaces reliably.

@RussSharek If you're not married to lino, may I suggest dabbing paint through a stencil?

I might have to abandon it for the idea I'm brewing, which would be frustrating because it's now carved and awaiting printing.

The piece says 'o pana e kon' which translates approximately to 'Breathe.'

@RussSharek Hmm, I've never used lino myself, so I don't have any pointers. The design is cool tho!

Thank you!

I have been looking at découpage and collage techniques mostly. My thought is print on thin to the point of transparent paper, then glue into piece.
