My first career was in university administration but I now work part-time and have more time to spend on printmaking.
I decided that I wanted to make some delicate looking lino prints. (From the nature of the medium it tends to be rather hard and linear with large blocks of colour). I did this by using multiple blocks and overprinting colours and heavily adding extender to make the final result more translucent. I also do not completely cut away the areas where I am removing it and leave small areas to overprint to add to the layers.
