NZ Fretwork

I have decided my next piece will be based on some New Zealand fretwork.  This is actually based on a photograph from my home business Backyard Letters and represents a letter 'O'....but that is another story..

Not sure which building it is from, will have to check - I love the old fretwork designs.  Still trying to get my head around the negative/positive space.  I've traced the design onto the lino in preparation to begin cutting later on this week...I am thinking perhaps I should have used a bigger piece of Lino, not sure?


will keep you posted..

  1. I know all that negative / positive space gets confusing with printing - fun just to see how it turns out though - have fun - look forward to the updates xx

  2. That 'O' is from a ceiling rose in one of the buildings in the old Thames Mining School. I was meant to be paying attention during a class trip, but got a little side-tracked. It's coming along beautifully Jane and, like Cherry, I'm really looking forward to the updates, I think you're sooooo clever xx
