As its getting pretty close to
Christmas, my mom was expecting me to make something artistic for the family
for christmas presents. Being incredibly busy this term, i only had time to
make some simple christmas cards.
I wanted to make a simple print,
so i chose to use lino printing as my medium. I really enjoy making lino
prints, and they always turn out looking lovely!!
I understand that black isn't
exactly the colour we associate Christmas with, but I'm thinking of printing it
on colourful paper (maybe a pastel coloured card).
My final prints worked out really
nicely! I had a bunch of paper that i've been hoarding since the art of
university (so for a whole year at this point). I used those colourful papers,
to print my lovely stag on and I'm really happy with the outcome!
Once you have the right tools and
supplies for Lino printing, doing it at home is so much easier than hunting
down a printing press, if its just for something little like making
personalised cards, or even your own prints then there isn't a point to use a
printing press. - I used the back of my hair brush.
I like the prints by themselves,
I'm not sure if i need to add anything more to it. Maybe it could do with some
type of 'Merry Christmas' on the front but I'm not really sure if it needs it.
But I'm really happy with how
they turned out and i hope my family love them!
