Improving my skills on printmaking. ❤️

Hello hivers, an happy Wednesday to you all! 
It's a sunny hot (but fortunately not too hot 😁) day here, the Sun is shining on the sky and we can breath the summer air all around. My furry friends Nanny and Bimba are sleeping in a corner of the lab after a morning spent playing together and with me too. Bimba, around 3 months old, is living a new "adventure" every day, for example a couple of days ago she decided to jump on my palette while I was working on a painting and one of her ear and part of her face became green. I immediatly cleaned her (and she was not so happy), but she looked like a sort of Hulk-cat. I started to pay more attention to her while I'm working on something, but I'm pretty sure she'll find a new way to give colors to her body. 😸 

As I wrote before, since some days I'm trying to improve my skills on printmaking and this morning I worked on this linocuts:

In the following pic you can see one of the first print tests close to the plate I made:

To make it I use a adigraf block because at home I had a tube of lino color not oil based and so the print tests I did with a linoleum block was really bad, while the ones I did with this adigraf block gave me the result I wanted.
I also took some pics while I was making this adigraf block so you can see some steps of the process too:

Now I have to adjust some little details, but when I will be ready I'll print a limited edition of these ones to add to my Artfinder shop. ❤️

I hope you like it!
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia

Wow. I've never seen anyone doing linocut on Hive. I've seen several works at exhibitions, but never live. I like the outcome. Well done Silvia! ❤️

Thanks so much, dear @erikah ! I love to work with linocuts (even if my skills are a little basic :D ). Along the time I made some little rubber stamp to use on my paintings (like little clouds, waves and others) and some other ones using  adigraph to hand print thanks cards for my customers. I'm very intrigued by all kind of printmaking, but at now I can work just with this kind because it give me good results even without a printing press.
