Transparencies/ linoprint and mulitiples

the beauty of lino print is the ability to create multiples and experiment with colour and composition all from one  original block. however here I have photocopied the lino print I made on to both acetate and tracing paper and then experimented with composition and layering. I think the above image has a depth of colour with the black over the red. its also a bit 3d effect around the edges.

This is a layer of three images, ( hard to photograph as the light catches the reflective surface of the acetate. I think it would work better with two layers of acetate with out the tracing paper as that makes it a little too blurry. again was thinking to create a kind of art deco style feel where an image of women stretches out in a row like a dance troupe or an endless reflection of mirrors. I think this effect would be better created by cutting around the images before layering
