Four cards printed with smiling snails wearing red Santa hats. One snail is colored black and green, one is black and brown and two are black and white

Wanting to create a little whimsy with Speedy-cut, stamp ink, and tinted with watercolors.

There are so many wonderful elements to this print. I love the sun flowers but the submerged tiger and reflection in the water blows my mind! We'll done.

Black and white print of happy snail wearing a Santa hat. Chatter marks from the cuts into the carving block can be seen around the snail.

Test print for a Christmas card. Will try tinting the prints with watercolors.

Block print of a sunflower with red-orange petals with light highlights, brown and yellow center, green stem, and light green leaves set against a dark background with dark leaves. The colors are splotchy in parts.

First reduction, printed from background to foreground instead of light to dark colors. Didn't turn out like I hoped but I still love the background leaves contrasting with leaves in the foreground. I'd like to replicate that part in future prints.

Is this a multi block or reduction print? The placement of the details in the individual colors is making my head spin a bit. It is beautiful!

This reminds me of Mrs. Frisby from the Rats of NIMH! It is a lovely print.

I like the sense of movement in the first on the left. It feels really strong. I also like the blue showing through in the lines of field in front of the tree in the bottom right image. It produces a cool effect. Well done on all of them.

Side by side makes me prefer the cream. Can't say why... Regardless, they both look beautiful.

That sounds promising! If you try it please share how it turns out for you. I'm curious...

I've found I had to wait. When I rushed, I pulled up some of the ink.

My experience is the drying time varies the type of ink and environmental factors. Some printmakers add drying agents to their inks to speed up the drying process.

I like the teal background. It stands out and maintains a high contrast that shows some of the finer details of your design.

Wow Deb! This print is wild. My eye sees so many subtle, intricate, and contrasting elements. The shading around the edges of the fruit blows my mind. It's beautiful.

Beautiful design!

This print is wonderful. The strong composition and vibrant colors really pop! But I really love how the shadows turned out.

Nice designs! They both show well on the denim. The wider cuts on the oppossum create a bit more contrast which is nice.

Beautiful d sign. Looks like it should be on a postage stamp.

This is a few years old. It was my first (and only) jigsaw linocut print. I worked remarkable well. #linocut #printmaking #slavaukraini #sunflower

Great! See you there.

Does it include a march up from Capitol Lake?

That feels like a cliff hanger. Where is your press going?

Test print of an unfinished project. I transferred a beautiful photograph of mine wanting to capture the beauty. #printmaking #printsky #linocut #testprint #unfinishedproject

It has great movement!

I love the combination of colors you used in this print.

Beautiful drawing. I look forward to seeing the print. (And thank you for sharing your pictures of Argyll.

Definitely successful.

I love the visual effect you created with the combination of pattern and colors.

Hello Lenny. I moved over for the same reasons. I'm a fellow member of Linocut Printmakers. I hope to see some of your prints here!
