You can't do this on a mac...

A few weeks back my eyes were opened to a wondrous way of creating images. Linocut!
I knew so little about it that I was surprised to find it was based on real lino, the stuff you find on manky kitchen floors. You cut into it with special gouges - it's really tactile, you feel like you're doing proper work. I'm a bit obsessed with black & white images, and magpies, so this is what I did first off.


 

Anyway, cut to today and the Allotment brief. I thought some veg - related linocuts wouldn't go amiss, so I photocopied half a red cabbage...
