SOLD! Silent Frozen Exhale, #Draw365.187 © Julia Forsyth

©2012 Julia Forsyth, Silent Frozen Exhale, block printing ink hand-printed on bleached mulberry paper, 8" x 10"

 

Silent Frozen Exhale is linocut print inspired by Spring Noel's "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" photo: flic.kr/p/aZJiYF. She captured this owl in a quiet winter moment of silence. The collector and I really liked this unique image and were so excited when Spring Noel gave me the okay to use her image as the photo reference for my commission linocut.

 

Usually owls have their eyes opened, but I liked that this barred owl looked like he was super-deep in thought. Shhh....

 

To see how I transferred another barred owl drawing from the paper to the block, here ya go: youtu.be/qTfp-Qgy8WY

 

To see how I got all the paper off the linoleum block once the another barred owl drawing was successfully transferred, here ya go: youtu.be/EASccCIIhfI

 

Curious to see how to carve a lino block? Take a look here: youtu.be/I5QuEq8pKnQ
