Whorl Stone

 

Here's a little linocut I just finished. It's just about 90 x 80 mm.

The paper is nothing special; just 110gsm cartridge. The ink is Flint water-based black.

I didn't remember until I'd already started cutting that I hadn't finished flattening and sanding the lino, so there's some speckling apparent in the solid blacks. Ah well, I'm sure it won't be the last time I make that mistake.

Am I happy with it? Well, I'm never 100% satisfied with anything I make, but I will go this far: I've done worse, could be better.
