Happy Valentine's Day!



Song Thrush (ウタツグミ)
This was my first trial of reduced linocut. First, I carved the brown layer, printed and then I carved the same linosheet further more to make the black layer. This way, I can print exactly on top of the brown layer (if the registration goes well) and I can save expensive linosheet and precious time. But I will never be able to print any more than I produced brown-layer-print at a time!
It was scary and thrilling to start carving the black layer, destroying the one I have made spending so much time. In some way this is a "live art."


I hope you have a wonderful day with loved one!

    鳥の色が実際とは違っても、ウタツグミを表現されている!!!
    Tingさんにとって英国の鳥たちが身近になったようですね。
    英国にいた経験を持つ1人として、うれしいです!

  2. ヒヨ吉さん、
    バレンタインなので、チョコレートを意識してみました。
    ��年、3年と見ていると、鳥のキャラクターが見えてきますよね。
