Wind in the Willows Linoprinting

Here are some linoprint ideas I did for the wind in the willows book cover competition.

The process for creating the prints is:

1) Draw my design onto the lino

2) Work out which parts I want to be printed (in this case in black), the other areas will be white.

3) Cut out the parts that I want to be white

4) Ink up the design

5) Place a piece of paper on top of the print

6) Put them through the printing press

7) The design has been printed

I did the last print at home hence the poorer quality of print due to not using a printing press. I 'm thinking about experimenting using different colour inks or adding colour to them using photoshop.
