Linocut #1

This is my first linocut.  I did a couple of more since but will post those later.
I am still in super practicing mode but what I like about this whole thing so far:

• It´s not too hard to do
• A printmaking techique I can easily do at home
• Handwork
• I have original prints and everyone is a little
  different from the one before.
• Easy clean up with waterbased colors
• I enjoy the cutting (even if it takes hours).
• Experimental value
• To work with one or just a minimum of colors

The Downside:

• That the print results are not very good if you use heavy paper (and I love heavy paper).
• I can´t cut as filigree as I would love to.
• It seems hard to have a  second lino layer accurately fitting onto the other ( 2 color print).
  I have to find a way to have everything better registered.
• It´s probably just a practicing thing but  I dislike when the tool slips off and accidently
  cuts thru other lines. At least not into body parts.

Anyhow, I do enjoy it very much so far. Let´s see how far I will go with and what else I can learn.
