Two Little Snails (2011)Linocut
by Kate Goetz

Two little snails
on a dewy track
carefully balance
homes on their backs

This limited edition linocut was originally intended to be part of a series of illustrations for verses I wrote for my daughter. I only completed four linocuts in this series and will not be making any more.

The verses, along with ten accompanying non-lino illustrations have now been turned into a book — 'In the Garden' — published and selling through Amazon.

This is the first time I am offering these original limited linocuts for sale. They are intended for a children's room, nursery, etc.
------------------
This work is a multi-layer reduction linoleum print, hand-carved from a single piece of printmaking linoleum, and hand printed in several stages, on a manually operated etching press.

As a result of the process through which it's made minor variations are possible. Colours may also vary slightly, depending on the software you are using to view the image.

Each print bears its number within the edition and the artist’s signature.
