LOVE - linoleum print

Here is the linoleum cut plate that I will put below my heart image. I have decided to make it a reduction print. A reduction print  is printing up the lightest color to show of the entire plate and after printing a large quantity, then cut out the areas that will remain that color, and continue to print. Each time an area is removed from the plate a color will show, but there is no room for mistakes in this kind of printing, because once you cut the plate, you cannot return to the beginning state of the plate.

I have also begun working on a new heart image. I have made some sketches and will soon begin to work on some plates for printing!
