These prints were very simple to produce. I used a foam material like ain apizza base to cut the design of the Chinese lanterns
Next you draw your design into the foam using a biro or pencil. Mix your coloured ink and roll on to your plate thinly. Put cartridge paper over the plate then with your print roller, roll up and down.Lift your paper gently off your printing plate and your image appears printed! Great fun, easy and can be done with children.
Hopefully here’s the link to my Brown hare cottage wp site where you can see my ‘Fox in a wood on a wintry night’ linocut print.

This watercolour sketch of a toadstool from the Agaric family , I found in an old sketchbook. It’s at least 10 year’s old but surprisingly it has held its vibrant autumnal colours.
Beautiful mushroom. You are quite talented.
Thank you. X I’m returning to art after many years of not having the time to dedicate to it! In fact I’m surprised that I have any time now. It’s a New Year resolution to do so much more…I’m experimenting at the moment.
How easy it is to set aside the things that make us feel most alive. I’m glad you’re getting back to it.

Thank you Sue for your encouragement! I love warm oranges and reds this time of year. I want to paint a Robin. There are quite a few in my garden. As the flowers droop, the birds flit about adding colour! Xxx
