I'm going to have to try it, I think. <BR/><BR/>I'm not used to visualizing in "linocut," though, so it will take some false starts, I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>Many years ago I was a fine arts major as an undergrad. I took a printmaking course and I think I would have enjoyed it if the professor hadn't been so intent on being frightening. He always made the students cry...:)<BR/><BR/>So I guess I've shied away from it all these years from those bad memories. Your work has inspired me to try it again!Susan Tomlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01532464326705599296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-40265079039873819262008-09-24T10:17:00.000-04:002008-09-24T10:17:00.000-04:00Hi Susan-Mounting is really no big deal!

I use 3/4" MDF (pressboard) because it raises the block to the height I need in my jig, but I've used 1/4" tempered masonite before, too. I've tried trimming the lino both before I glue it on and after I glue it on... I'm no more efficient one way than another. I affix the lino to the boards with wood glue, and generally leave them under a board and books overnight to make sure it all sticks well. That's it!Sherrie Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967844327055630854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-22005902666254116022008-09-24T08:36:00.000-04:002008-09-24T08:36:00.000-04:00I'm really inspired by your prints--I'd like to tr...I'm really inspired by your prints--I'd like to try to play around with something like this myself. I did linocuts way back in the day in college (over 30 years ago!), but bought ready made blocks. Is there a good source of information on how to make your own?Susan Tomlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01532464326705599296noreply@blogger.com
