Linogravure ~ I like it

I like the term linogravure.  It's french for linocut prints, but it's reminiscent of photogravure. 

 

I'm planning out some printing projects.  I'm going to be working in linocut.

One series is the cherry tree in its various twisty forms and denizens.  Fox, deer, barn (ok, not a denizen, but a recurring motif).

 

Some as reduction prints, especially if I want to play with the green (lichen) and pink (blossoms) combination.

 

Other subjects:  my cryptids, like my chimera cat-bird critters.


Probably better suited to bw with color added.
