Here are my greetings for the New Year, sent as cards.
They are woodcuts, two plates. The orange/red colour was printed first. The black colour is the Schminke “Aquadruck” black relief ink diluted with extender kindly lent to me by Connie at East London Printmakers. Her extender was from the Caligo range, and was slightly whitish. It seemed to work better than the Schminke version.
The gold star is punched out of some golden wrapping paper I received last year.
The paper is Fabriano Unica, cut to size on the marvellous electrical guillotine.
Happy New Year!
Lovely work overall. These cards are especially wonderful.

Thank you Daniel. It was fun to play with the ink colours to get the sky.
I appreciate your writing-ink reviews, especially the one for vintage Quink.
Many thanks for visiting my website.

This is really beautiful. I like the faint blue of the shadow. The lines look nostalgic and festive at the same time. Have a happy new year!

Thank you so much. “Nostalgic and festive” is exactly what I was aiming for, so it makes me happy that you saw it that way. Happy New Year and thank you for your encouraging comment.
