Lino print, get some ink!

I love this piece. Again using the Geli plate.

I then used a Lino I had cut to print a conker design.

I chose to stitch the white conkers, but they looked very floaty so stitching between them anchored them.

However, lesson learned from this piece. Don't skimp on materials! I needed to mix block printing inks to match my palette, but was advised that mixing a tiny so lodge of my already mixed screenprinting inks with a bigger so lodge of PVA would work just as well and save me money.

I did save money, but gave poor results, the prints were almost translucent.

You get what you pay for!
