Great for woodblock, monotype and what have you.=20 Jeanne N; ------------------------------ From: "Jeanne Norman Chase" Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2001 09:44:44 -0500 Subject: [Baren 12752] Re: Newbie with questions Marilynn Try to use lino plus wood. I mix the two sometimes. If I want to get a = grainy effect for the background I use wood. But if I need an additional = fine line perhaps I will use some lino.=20 In the Baren 7 exchange, the print was mostly wood, but for the design = pattern around the edges, I used linoleum. So if you are a bit hesitant re; wood, try both. You can get some neat = effects that way. I guess then it wood be called a lino-woodblock print. I have seen some very professional lino cuts done. Printing is printing. = It is the love of the process that is meaningful. Jeanne N. ------------------------------ End of Baren Digest v14 #1269 *****************************
