This tube of ink dried up years ago, but it’s still accessible from the bottom. I used a screwdriver to reach enough ink for a postcard or two. Outdated bank cards are very useful for spreading the ink around and softening the hard bits…
The linocut castle is a bit wonkier than intended. I’m almost pleased with the portcullis. There might be a watercolour sky and more clouds added later.
I was watching Jack’s shadow walking in a meadow when the rest of us were all over the pavement. It took a while to get some photos, passing traffic kept hiding the subject.
Making test prints on the hottest day of the year isn’t a good idea. I wanted to know if the little dots looked like a road surface, so I began inking quite early. This hasn’t captured the idea I saw while walking, but it’s OK.
There are many tasks to do today but I knitted instead. The project will become too big for three needles so I’ve added more. They’re slightly bent from being stuck under a heavy item for too long. They still function well.
