A Woodcut Print For St Valentines'



Here's a very simple two colour design woodblock print I made a couple of years ago for the tartist for St. Valentines' Day. It's actually an MDF print to be precise which I find quite easy to carve but unfortunately MDF being a really soft material doesn't tolerate too many impressions before it breaks up. I used a block for each colour with this one, rather than my preferred reduction method and was kind of taken with the loose registration between the two colours.

This is lovely. I felled a particularly out of control MDF tree last autumn and have some 6 x 4 offcuts which I now know what to do with.
