"Elizabeth's Walk"
a Portfolio of Linocuts.


Linocuts start with a flat piece of linoleum and a drawing. Those parts of the image that will remain the white of the paper are carved away, and the parts of the image that will pick up ink are left flat. Ink is rolled onto the linoblock and a piece of paper is pressed onto the surface of the lino. When the paper is pulled away, the image has been printed from the ink that was on the flat surface.

Printed at Stone Cold Press and available at
The Birches Gallery and Drumdancer Arts & Crafts,
Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador Canada, and from this website.
