Near Completion

Over Thursday and Friday I nearly completed my linoleum printmaking project. On Thursday i brain stormed and researched an idea for the design of my plate. After much consideration I decided on having my lino print be of the inside of a pocket watch.

This was what I came up with for the design of my linoleum print. I started to regret putting so many details in the design when i started to carve this into the plate

After several minutes and mistakes, I figured out how to carve into the plate without cutting myself. I found that as time went on, the linoleum became easier to cut into and it became easier for me to carve out all of the details in the pocket watch, and I became more and more willing to put the details in. 

I am know finished with my plate and my next post will focus in detail on the process of printing my pocket watch.
