| Graphite rubbing on cotton, test print |
Graphite rubbings of the lino blocks on cotton. This effect is similar to the apron except the source is made by myself linked back in with the site. Its more subtle than ink prints I really like this. Plus its very simple to reproduce, easier and cleaner than with ink, bit less enduring. For this project I like that it is fragile and temporary, like a relic or historic object, needs to be treated with care. this is a faint, understated mark.

I like that you can see the carved marks in the print, adds texture like its been lifted from a stone or wood carving.
These two( above and below) are printed with black lino ink.
