This is the process for another linocut. I've shown the beginning concept in pencil, then the test print in black ink, and finally the finished print which is actually two-color. The red background had to be printed first and then, being careful to keep proper registration, the black was printed.
The above is an example of a bad print. You can see how the black is spotty and not very uniform. I think I got it better in the final.
Sometime, I'd love to start printing some Thistledown material with my letterpress. It's all a matter of getting the time to do it.....sigh.
This looks very good!
