smallhobbitThis month's Dare to Dabble session was lino printing - a simple, if slightly messy craft.
We were all given two pieces of lino, plus tools for cutting and pens to draw the initial pattern:
My first attempt was a small tree - you can see some of my sketch lines. The carving wasn't as easy as I expected, but I soon got the hang of it.
This was then inked (the messy part) and the inked tile placed on paper/card and rolled over to produce:
I moved onto the larger tile - I forgot to take a photo before it was inked
And I made a Christmas card - the one on the right is called 'snowstorm'
Then, with some time left, I tried a different design
To make some gift tags
They finished drying overnight and here are my final results, which I'm rather pleased with. It's not a craft I'd take up independently, but I would definitely do it again.
