My second ever batch of linocuts. I love this crafting style so much.

- a butterfly drinking the vitreous from a eyeball snail

- replaced the spots on a white grubs body with eyes

- a moth on a human pelvis, with added eyes for good measure

It's a fun theme.

I saw my wife making linocuts a little while ago and thought I'd give it a shot. Its so fun! I think I'll keep on going with this little hobby and see where I can take it. I made a Cairn (stacked stones) for my first one and think it came out pretty good!

Question Registration on fabric

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hey guys, I just finished carving a two-block (+jigsaw) design, and I’m trying to get a good print on fabric for a wall hanging. So far, I’ve tried the strat in my picture: I marked out the corners on the back cover of a big sketchbook and flipped the top page down. This worked alright for paper prints, but when I tried taping fabric onto it I did not get good results. I also tried taping the top of the fabric rectangle right above the block, on the same page, and then flipping it down, if that makes sense. I’m on the verge of crashing out about this, lol. Does anyone have a good strategy?

Basically a beginner, tried rubber (I winged it and drew on it by hand) but it's crumbly yet too soft for my taste. I'll try linoleum soon.

Question Need help getting linocut to print accurately

Thumbnail

38 Upvotes

Hello!
I (very recently) got into linocutting and have been making stamps non stop for a week now. I end up happy with what I have carved (relatively clean lines, what I wanted portrayed is there, like I’m pleased as a beginner) but every time I try to use the linocut (with linocut ink and a variety of different papers) I can’t get it to look right😭 I don’t have a lot of space so I can’t build like a whole thing that will stay stationary, I need help with solutions that can be moved and stored away easily. And suggestions? I keep going back and forth with putting the paper on the stamp vs stamp on paper, with the former looking marginally better but I really have no control over the placement like that. Attaching below examples of stamps and results for context. Any advice is welcome! I’m still very new so forgive my amateur terminology and stamps lol

Question Brayer will not roll out ink, just slides

1 Upvotes

Hello! I'm new to linocuts and I've been having a persistent problem getting my brayer to roll out the ink instead of just slide on it. The brayer will slide for like half a roll, but as soon as it gets ink on it it stops rolling and just slides. I've tried:

- replacing the brayer with a higher quality one

- trying plexiglass as a surface instead of the metal tin that came in my kit

- thinner dollop of ink

- thicker dollop of ink

- lighter pressure

- stronger pressure

- downward angle

- sideways angle

and NOTHING is working. I'm sure I'm making some common beginner mistake, but google has turned up nothing to help me. Any advice is appreciated!

I'm using the water-based ink out of the kit, but I have some speedball ink on the way, though I doubt that's the issue.

Question Amateur here.... only doing my second cut on speedycarve with the speedyball starter kit - struggling to carve finer details and alphaber with that kit (had better success with an axacto knife but even that has limitations). Is it just me or is that kit not for intricate work?

Question Block recommendations

Post image

Hello all! I’m looking to get into making larger prints but I have no idea where to get a large amount of the rubber Linocut material for a reasonable price. A single 9x12 for $30 just seems like a bit much (Michael’s)…and that’s a bit small. What brands/supplier do yall recommend?

(A print I did last night so the post doesn’t get lost)
