Yellow owl workshop into lino prints?
A while back I had a little fettish with lino-printing, and made this, inspired by Michelangelo and Leonard Cohen, 2 Cor 4:7-10 and 12:9 (melancholic that I am - written under it is the line "there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in"), but little else, in fact nothing else.
The plan way back then was also to come up with a few lino cuts I could use in making cards. I try to make cards these days, because even if I do happen to find one I’d like to buy with something remotely appropriate written inside, it’s a silly amount of money - that and I over-rate my own abilities in that I often pick a card up and think to myself ‘I could make that’, but there are often just too many “ifs” after that thought, like IF I had those scissors and wire and fabric like that and watercolour lessons and ... not to mention if I’d thought of the idea in the first place ... So making cards always seems like a good idea, until I actually have to sit down and make one to send someone tomorrow, then I am scratching around looking for something to put on it.
Anyway, I have been eyeing off these rubber stamp sets from Yellow Owl Workshop (click the link and scroll right) for my card making efforts in a swanky stationery shop nearby, and I have recently had this brilliant idea that I could copy some of them into lino cuts (excepting maybe the Eiffel Tower) and make my own. But this could be a disaster (I think a lot of the detail is probably too fine), or merely one of those passing fancies.
