These new blocks require much more careful inking than my usual ones. Still some tweaks to make, but everything's more or less working.And for the printers, (because I know you need to know!) here are the blocks:
I was planning to have these prints up in my new South African online shop this weekend, but I haven't managed to make any headway with that. Instead, I'll have them up in my Etsy shop early next week.

Absolutely beautiful! Love the colour of the fabric too!
These are gorgeous! What beautiful work!
very cool prints! I finished my first stamp this week. Only two total stab wounds to my fingers overall. =)
I love seeing your blocks. I've done a wee bit of lino printing, and I still do, now and then, but nothing as complicated or elegant as you. I've never thought about putting the blocks on a clear backing, that must help with lining up patterns, eh?
where do you get the backings?
The backings are just bits of perspex/acrylic sheet that I picked up at the art shop. Apparently painters use them for palettes. I would have preferred clear ones, but this is all they had. Hunting for a consistent supply, now!
They look beautiful! Did you start with a 12"x 12" block? Do you blot ink it or roller ink it? They are just lovely and so inspiring!
Beautiful as always, I'm glad someone is as obsessed with leaves as me.
I love the fabric colours too, very autumnal :-)
Thank you!
Anja, I roller ink over my blocks, which is why I had to be so careful with these. Blotting might go faster, so I'll give it a try!
