I am pretty chuffed about the final layer. I’ve never done this many complete layers on a reductive linocut. I kept them very thin. The end result is well worth it and I’ve learned a lot.

Layer 7. I thought that masking was a good idea this far along… Only two more layers to go. Really. I mean it. Only two.

The first layer of this reductive lino celebrating EM pinball machines…I love beginnings! It never looks like much at first, but it’s all about the evolution. =)

I spent today printing a new version of this puzzle block.
It’s hard to see it here, but I used Cranfield silver ink to add some shine and dimension.

“Vintage Crockery at the Blythe Cricket”
Reductive linocut. 18” x 24”. Oil-based ink on paper.
This is my first try at pushing for more and more colors in a reductive. It took about 3 months to compete. The last pic is the lino at the end!

The Rabbit: X-tra Large.
Block print. 11” x 14”. Oil-based ink on paper.
I carved a tiny rabbit. It was so popular that I carved it again…much bigger. =)

“Salt Marsh at Portage”
9”x12” oil-based ink and watercolor on paper.
I carved this linocut when I was traveling in Alaska. I almost lost my carving tools because I left them in my carryon bag!
The pic is our little cabin in Seldovia, Alaska.

Final layer! This reductive linocut celebrated an amazing day in November last year when LPod, our resident orcas, passed by Vashon Island, Washington. They spyhopped, slapped their tails, backstroked, and amazed us all.

Layer two of this lovely reductive linocut. I always feel compelled to try different colors as I go along….so my series of twelve ends up as a series of 7 and 5…. I can’t help myself.
