It’s for the farm’s new logo, as its old one was like… hand-drawn and not very clear. So Farmsister was like… listen I want a woodcut or something, of a sprig of red clover, here’s a sample image, do you know how do to that, and I was like, well, I’ll try, i took a linocut class like three or four years ago, so let’s give it a shot.
So I dug out my supplies, which took some heroic searching but I did find them. I had, like, stamp rubber, kinda? IDK. Anyway, I also had a set of linozips, so I could carve effectively.
And I sat down and I used pencil lead to transfer the image (forgot to reverse it, w-ev), and then I carved it, and then I printed it a bunch of times, and took photos of the best prints, and then I Photoshopped the crap out of it, and voila!
New farm logo.
Cute, eh?? I thought so, anyway. :) (this is the web resolution version, and there’s also a version without the frame around it.) (maybe you can see where i used photoshop to make the frame go all the way around, as I forgot to leave it when I was first carving the image so it was originally only around about half of it.)
