Thursday 10th March

Today I completed my sewing on the typography. I then went on to create a lino which i will print and experiment with in my research book. The motif contains leaves which is a common imagery in fairy tale books. I have already started drawing leaves when creating some typography but I feel it isn't as strong as I wanted it to be so therefore I will be using the technique of printing. The lino took a while to create as I want just to leaves to print onto the page, rather than a negative image of them, which meant I had to carve the whole background out to leave the leaves raised. This took a while as it was so time consuming so I will begin printing in the next few days.
