lino cut
I decided to carve my way into the holiday season with a printed Christmas postcard. I am posting a complete sequence of the process so you can see the steps involve and enjoy it as much as I did.
Wishing you, all the best for 2010!
and when I say all, I mean it.
Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!
The short version: After having the design ready and knowing how I wanted it to look, I traced it onto the lino cut boards and carved out the "white" areas. Then it was a matter of inking the board, printing one color at a time and letting it dry.
To give it that final touch, we -C and myself- applied gold leaf (imitation) to the star on top the tree and voilà!
