Dear Chicago House,
There is nothing like cold day (again) to go digging through an old box of treasures in the basement. Look what I found today, some old linocuts designs I carved many moons ago. What’s more I even found some prints I had made of them
Here is a linocut of some swirly flowers
and the prints
A lino cut of jumbled letters
and the prints
I used sheets of linoleum and removed the areas I wanted to show as white on my designs. The following video gives a really good overview of the techniques …although I find the design she used to illustrate the process rather macabre!
Miss Chicago teen has created quite a few linocuts at school but using a polymer material as the carving base…it is very easier and quicker to carve. I’ll post her designs another day!
Love from
