illustration 1: playing with lino

lino is cool. i've never delved into the depths of lino before so this was really fun for me to try out. i bought a lino kit from amazon, because i am a woman who likes to be independent in her artwork and i really wanted to be able to do it at home. these first few tests have been kind of disappointing though. i really thought they would turn out better than they did and i'm not sure what i did wrong which is stressful. i even made a tiny little stamp thinking that it would turn out better and even that turned out pretty rubbish with only a few looking good. the stamp actually looked better on the cloth as i was wiping it off!! so i took a picture of that because it was kind of a funny/annoying/cool mistake. obviously not really wanting to do my final pieces on a baby wipe. will have to play around with lino again to try and work out what went wrong with this one, but ill keep the little dudes that i cut out for when i finally get it right.
