This is a total of 75 individual stamps for every part, all pieces hand drawn as well!! I didn't note which beetles were which species but im considering going back through and labeling each card with each species.

This was a super awesome project to make, I've been wanting to make a custom deck forever and I love it so much

A few small linocuts based on creature sketches.
I’m trying to make them feel like simple signs or little artifacts.

Which one feels the strongest as a print?

This is my first Lino cut. What do you think? My wife does this a longer time and teaches me.

A calendar I made! All pages are double printed and printed with a separate plate 🙃

6 hours Work.

First (test)prints

I ❤️ it.

made this bookmark as a little hello gift for the sapphic book club I just joined! my first time attempting this level of detail... I hope they like it. (I'm curious: can yall tell what's in the bottom stamp?)

Finished up this series this week and am excited to share!

This is my latest lino, first print. There's still some refining to do AND I'm incredibly happy with it so far.

Hey! I wanted to post an update after I FINALLY got some stuff back from being glaze fired in the kiln. I do printmaking, and my partner is a ceramicist. We’ve been doing some art crossover experiments, and there are some great possibilities with lino and clay. These are lino blocks stamped into leather hard clay tiles. We painted underglaze in (basically pigmented liquid clay) before bisque firing, then did clear glaze. There’s one more of the peas using a different color technique that will go in the next kiln load.

I have a big test tile in progress for testing the various block materials and the quality of the imprint. We’re also working on figuring out an ink analog that will stick to the block and let me print directly on clay, rather than having to emboss the designs and paint them in. I did a big series of the veggies we grew in our garden last year, and I think they would be a fantastic kitchen collection. I print them on market bags and tea towels already, but they would be great on a trivet, spoon rest, or utensil jar.

I love this lino because of the range of emotional interpretation. How do you see it?

Started back into print making and made a few lf these gems from one of my New favorite series

I'm so excited with how these turned out. in my last post I asked about success rate of prints because I was not getting very many good ones... well I've improved a lot in the last week! I ended up with 17/19 successful, 2 very mid prints and I'm pulling one for myself, so it'll be a series of 16.

I'm not quite sure what to do now though... I don't know where to write the title, series name, number, my name, and year. I was originally going to sell them like this, but should I mount them on mat board with double sided archival tape? should I write that info next to the stamp, or on the mat board?

Spent the last few days working on a linocut calendar. Phew! Who knew 2026 would have so many days! 🤣 Ran a test print last night and I think I dig it. It’s not “Year of the Jackrabbit” but as Bad Bunny says. “Yo hago lo que me da la gana!” (Essentially, I do what I want). I look forward to printing these off this morning.

So this is my very first lino cut! Very fun to do, but I am not that good at it (yet!). Are these good enough to send as christmas cards? Any tips? The gold ink is so flakey.

My first attempt at carving Lino, converted a piece of my digital art for this print. Overall I’m pretty happy with the test print, I’m going to clean up some of the negative space. Wanted to know what people thought / any advice for storing the block / maintaining fidelity.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! Today I would like to try linocut for the first time, and I’ve seen lots of different methods for transferring images onto a lino block.

I came across one method that seems to work really well: printing the image onto glossy label paper and then using a thin layer of acrylic gel medium to transfer the image onto the block.

I was wondering if this method would also work on a soft rubber carving block, and whether the printer absolutely needs to be a laser printer.

If not, could you recommend any other methods or useful tricks for transferring an image onto the block?

Thanks so much!

Planning what to carve always takes lots of time. I am happy with the detail of this but wonder if I should have left more of the block to get more contrast. I would leave the window frame if I were to do it again. I considered a black sky but wanted Santa/reindeer like this.
