Lino Ladies -
A Print Artist Collective
The Lansing Area Printmakers Collective (Lino Ladies for short) is a group of 11 artists who use the linocut as a starting point for our artwork.
Challenge # 2 - Spring Fever
Challenge # 2 came early in April when we were all more than ready for spring. Specs were to create a print on the theme Spring Fever (thoughts of the virus lingering on), using two or three colors and 5 x 7 block(s).
A reduction linocut. First the light green was printed over the whole image, then areas to stay were carved away, and the same block was used to print the darker green.
Kate got this far, and then real spring arrived, making it impossible to stay indoors and finish carving!
The bees are back! The background of the print uses encaustic techniques.
