Red-Winged Blackbird - Linocut Print
This is my first attempt at chine colle. I thought the rw blackbird would be a good bird to try this out on.
In case you aren't familiar with chine colle, what I did here was carve my linoleum block to make the black areas, applied ink as usual, then carefully placed the cut bits of red Japanese paper (with glue on the back of them) face down on my printing block in their appropriate areas. I then pressed the block to the paper, simultaneously gluing down the red bits and applying the black ink to the paper. Voila- blackbird with fancy red shoulder epaulets.
