Mono prints

 I had some ink left on a plate from lino printing so I did a few experiments with mono printing by tracing over the Caroline Lamb profile and ant image..

I used this one to take off the ink for the ant so the ant is dark and the profile image is set underneath from a previous print, it was an accident, but a happy one of contrasting images.

This one is the profile layered with the ant image.

I like the light, ghostly effect on this one, it's the second print so the ink is less.

This is the first one so a bit more defined.

This is the print I drew on the back of to pick up the ink. It's quite heavy and distorts the facial features but still an interesting effect.
