Test prints aren’t looking right, maybe they need some tweaking.

Beltane
Linocut of some dancers, based on photos I took in Glastonbury. They will be printed in red and yellow for next midsummer.
Green and Red
I found two offcuts from the corners of a previous linocut. Some little sketches could be tweaked to fit. The test print with an ink pad on a postcard shows there are some angles that need curving.
Red Blue Green
This drawing has been lying around for ages. Today I added the central figure. The paper has suffered various accidents but it will be ok.
Midwinter Dance
It might look more cold and blizzard-like with a black sky? Originally I was pondering the lack of snow in our future, as well as the unpleasantness of dancing in slush.

Breton dancers
Linocut, 10 x 5.5cm. Linseed ink on Japanese paper.
Breton folk
We visited the Amgueddfa Werin, (which is now the museum of history?) to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday. Unexpectedly saw some dancers and musicians from Brittany, so I have a new source to draw some circular dancing from.
Test prints
Two small lino blocks (10 x 10cm and 10 x 8cm). I found a battered piece of Japanese paper to test them on, maybe the creases will smooth out later.
