Thank you! I have a whole video in which I show how I usually transfer my drawings. It‘s one of my recent uploads :)

thank you!

Also amazing emanation you have!! The cards are very nice and unique!!!!

Thank you so much 🥰💗

Thank you so much! All the materials I‘ve used are in the description but I don’t have any links because I bought most of it from a local store in germany. The block is called essdee softcut and the tools are from Pfeil. They are big brands tho so you‘ll definitely find them in online shops as well. Pfeil is quite expensive but worth the money. Essdee also has some cheaper beginner tools. Tho not as great as Pfeil they are a good option for starting out. I created several pieces with their tools before upgrading to Pfeil. Let me know if you need any more help or info :)

Thank you! Yes it’s so satisfying to pull the first print and see all the details come to life with the ink ❤

Thank you Fiona! 🥰❤

Thank you very much!

Thank you! I use Cranfield Caligo safe wash relief ink in black :)

thank you!

I have a whole video about this process, just look at my latest upload! :)

@@aryalynx Thanks!

Glad I could help you with my video! 4-color linocut sounds awesome, I‘m sure it‘ll look great! Personally I‘ve never done one before so can’t give any advice on registration. But I‘ve seen a lot of other helpful videos about the topic, there are little clips you can buy for example that make the paper line up again each time :)

Thank you!

Thank you :)

Thank you very much! They are Pfeil tools, I really like them, definitely recommend :)

Thank you! I’m trying :))

Thank you very much. Yes it worked really well! :)

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I hope the print will arrive soon and will live up to the expectations <3

Thank you very much!

Oh thank you so much! <3 I’m gonna upload a new video soon, hope you’ll like that one as well!

Thank you! <3

Thank you! No, just the smallest lino tool that I had :)

@@aryalynx thanks the reply!I have favourited your shop, your jewellry is lovely too! Keep up the good work 😊

@@everykneeshallbow8861 Ohh thank you so much it means a lot to me! <3

Thank you! I really like it, gives me nice prints. Can’t compare it to a cylinder press though as I‘ve never used one. With the Woodzilla I sometimes have spots that don’t give enough pressure but I‘ve always found a way to make it work and get a perfect print regardless. Also it’s really nice for fabric printing too :)

@@aryalynx thanks so much, I appreciate it!

I use essdee softcut :)

Thank you! I created the design digitally and printed it on paper with a laser printer. I then put the paper face down on the lino and dabbed it with a cottonball soaked with acetone (or nailpolish remover) and after a few seconds I take off the paper and the design has transferred to the lino. Hope this helps!

@@aryalynx clever! Thanks for the reply :)

Thank you!

Well I've only been actively printing since a few months so I don't really have much of a long term experience. But I'm sure the material won't stay the same over the years I think it can dry out and some materials might even crumble. I had a softer block that I used before I found my current one and I can definitely imagine that it'll get dry and crumbly as the years pass. I think it depends on how good you store them tho. I carved one about 3 years ago and it looks the same today so I think it needs quite a bit of time to actually degrade to the point it's unusable :)

@@aryalynx Ok, thank you very much for your insight. I really want to give this a try, it seems really calming, but I think I'll start with smaller stamps just to see how the material holds up.

@@PumpkinPails Sure, give it a try!

@@PumpkinPails i think this is soft lino, which is some kind of vinyl or other synthetic material. What you learned sounds right for the original, natural linoplates. I think that this is mostly a problem if you want to carve in an old piece. They become hard and crumbly, so its definitely more difficult to work with. So you want to cut fresh lino. I dont know how it effects printing with an allready carved old piece. I think it will stay allright to do so though.
