I'm laughing because, as a novice, every time I believe I'm wrapping my head around linocut along comes Holly and shows me something else!
I've been battling with multi-colour reduction cuts recently (massive tear rate) so my reaction to the first half minute of this video was _"Whaaaat....?"_
😂
(P.S. I totally love Handprinted and buy all my supplies there. Faultless customer service. 👍)
Thanks for this demo, very helpful!
Excellent tuitiorial!! Simple, clear, accessible instructions.
Ii rarely comment on videos but I really appreciate this video! I have been doing Japanese wood block printing since 2018 and have been giving linocut printing a go. WIth wood cuts, I always printed in a single color. I wanted to be able to color block and this really gave me a good idea of the jigsaw technique. I figured lino would be less time consuming than wood block carving and while its similar, it can be more nuanced! Wood has a certain pushback of pressure when carving but the lino materal is so delicate that you have to be extra careful. This helped me a alot! ready to try out multiple colors now! thank you!!!
Very good - thanks for the tip.
Great tutorial. Thanks.
Wow, what a beautiful design you made. Flowers 😍 (i’ve just got to 3:25)
Thank you!
Another lovely video thank Holly. A question, when I've used a Sharpie to mark my design (on silk cut grey lino) I've had problems with it transferring to my print. I use Caligo Safe Wash. Have you had this problem?
Curious about this too… I looked it up and sharpies are water resistant, maybe using a hairdryer and rubbing over would help? Otherwise try a water proof pen like the uni pens or posca maybe.
So lovely! I'm just beginning to play with using lino reliefs (not sure if this is the term) for use on fabrics. Is there a similar concept that can be used for this? Thanks!
Yes, you can lino print onto fabric. You'll need different inks and the printing process is slightly different too. We have a video on it: czcams.com/video/dJ_ph9lSu1k/video.html
Oops! My poor wording ;) Is it possible to print two paint colors onto fabric at a time in a jigsaw way? Or, is it better to create two or more partial stamps for each color and then try to apply them?
Of all the linocut artists, you've made me feel the most free and confident. Thanks Holly!
@@cphilips66 It's probably easier to print them separately. Because you'll be placing the block face down on the fabric you'll be able to see where it goes
What about using scissors to cut out the shape before separating it with a scalpel?
Hello, it is possible to use scissors but we wouldn't necessarily recommend it. You want a nice crisp cut to ensure that the pieces slot back together perfectly.
Can you use the basic grey Lino?
The hessian backing and the lack of flexibility of traditional lino makes it quite tricky for Jigswas Linocut. It is better suited to something more flexible.
