My recent creative urges (must be this spring-like weather) have led me to dig out my old lino-cutting stuff. The knives look like they might still be up to the job, but the actual lino tiles themselves pretty much crumbled to dust in my hands – that’s how long it’s been since I printed anything! And I was so disappointed when I went to Hobbycraft to replenish supplies – in the whole huge warehouse of craft-related paraphenalia, the only item they could supply me with was a roller! Oh, and paper. Hopeless! Thank goodness for the internet.
My most favouritest thing of all when I was at art college (apart from the cider drinking and the discount at Top Shop) was screen printing, but it’s something I’ve never attempted at home… until now! Well, no, not NOW now, but soon. Probably.
Maybe I can satisfy my urges in the meantime with a spot of potato printing until my supplies arrive.
Oh, and I’m very excited about this book that’s due out at the end of the month…
