This is one of the post that I’ve been
promising – or threatening – to blog for a while. The more I get into lino
printing the more I realized that my old lino cutters were become inadequate.
Without sounding too much like Goldilocks, the small cutter was too small and
the next one up was too big, which made everything I tried to cut look clumsy.
However through LinoCutBoy’s website I found a lino cutter that was everything
I’ve been looking for. It’s is a dream to cut with, it glides over the lino, I
don’t get cramp in my hands and I haven’t slipped and cut myself once! If that
isn’t a reason to love these lino cutters I don’t know what is. Oh I forgot!
They’re beautiful as well.
I was trying to make a stamp to use for
cards and since coming back from Falmouth everything I create seems to be
taking a nautical theme. I was so eager to see what the design I had thought up
looked like in lino form I missed out the ‘E’ on ‘I’ve’ so if anyone asks I’m
simply going to reply ‘I wanted it to sound like a Pirate was saying it’. I
hope that’s a clever enough and convincing lie.
