I remember doing this in school art class. There is something so satisfying about gouging and carving the lino.

Annie - this is beautiful abstract art on furniture. I love it!

[@sistersarann3819]

I just discovered lino printing myself this past year. Love your inspiration :)

[@deboracontos834]

Yes! This is brilliant. I think too often we rely on transfers, inlays, etc. but our own creativity is much more interesting and timeless! Thank you Annie, this was a great artistic tutorial. I will definitely be trying this technique. : )

[@lindz916]

I absolutely LOVE this idea! I have used carved pieces of lino on my gel plate and created some really fun prints! That got me thinking and made me wonder if it would be possible to use the Chalk Paint on my gel plate and then press it onto a piece of furniture… Any ideas? Has anyone tried this perhaps technique? I’d love to hear about it if anyone has because I think that there could be some really cool pieces created this way! I guess I could always try it out on a scrap piece of wood the next time I have one lying around. Anyway, once again, thank you Annie for always sharing such cool techniques with us all. Love your Chalk Paint!

[@AnnieSloanHome]

We're not sure, but give it a go and let us know!

[@lindalary7760]

I love this. I have all your books and loved your blue tea cup chair 👏👏👏👏

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Thank you :)

[@OwlingDogDesign]

I love it! So creative and unique

[@thezagnolis1506]

I if you do not want the hard line between lino prints, then take a ruler and take off about a1/4 inch at the over lapped edge and then you can actually overlap the lino sheets one to one, and lay them end, paint them all at once and then put them on the surface you want the print, That's only if you do not want a Blocking Look.

[@laurietowle5166]

I need to find some lino! Thanks for the inspiration Annie!

[@karenhenry9374]

You are delightful and amazing.

[@calmit23]

Great idea looks fab. Wish you had closer camera shots

[@AnnieSloanHome]

We're working on it, apologies!

[@michellestratford9753]

But as someone who can't draw, doesn't this still require at skill I don't have? Or am I missing something? Thank you for showing this to us! 🇨🇦

[@AnnieSloanHome]

It's really easy to do with very simple shapes! Even just lines produces a lovely pattern and texture

[@CharlesStone-Porter]

Could you trace a design, using carbon paper?

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Hi Charles, that should be possible!
