Linocut Printing: Cutting a Block for Blind Embossing

Here I am cutting a block to make a blind emboss and will show the results in a future video. The glass baren I am using comes from Thomas Petit thomaspetitglass.com/ You can buy my registration devices for press and tabletop use (standard size or order a bespoke device) at my website shop at www.lauraboswell.co.uk/shop.php.

Your moon has a very Australian Aboriginal look to it. Lovely piece.

oo so pretty! I always use acrylic ink that comes with a dropper so i can just put out a few drops and rub it on with a rag, no spirits needed :D i'm always worried using oil based things will break down my lino ; u;

Linoleum is a oil based material, so you dont need to worry about oil based products breaking it down. it withstands just about any spirits or solvents you can think of, just dont soak it in them.... lol.
