Geese Linocut Print


Geese - 10 x 10cm linocut print on white Grafia paper

I found a little pencil sketch of geese in one of my old notebooks and decided to develop it to test the two beautiful Swiss-made cutting tools HWEM bought me for our wedding anniversary. They are blissful.

This is printed with Red Ochre Charbonnel Etching Ink which I've discovered I like even better than the Sanguine for lino prints. I've also printed the geese on a lovely cream paper but as there is no sunshine today, it was hopeless trying to take a photograph of it.

Doesn't seem much to show for all the time I've been spending in the studio, but some prints are still drying, a couple of monotypes were less than wonderful and I'm still working on a drypoint etching. I'm still having a ball.
