So here's my tag,it's based on the three Billy Goats Gruff. I made a lino cut, which I've included an image of, as it's hard to see on the final tag. I printed it at home, rubbing the paper with a spoon, and the back of a clothes brush, hence the rather irregular ink coverage!
I scanned the image and printed it out small enough to be stuck to a tag. I added the words 'Trip-trap-trip-trap, over the rickety bridge', although my brige looks a rather solid stone affair!

Awesome! I love lino cut printing and it's a very clever interpretation of tales of the riverbank. Blessings!

Wow, what a fabulous lino cut - I just love the image and it looks so good printed as a tag.
You have created a lovely lino cut for this weeks theme. A very clever tag.
Absolutely brilliant Jo. I've got a friend coming to do a Lino cut workshop for a few of us at my house in August. I love the effects you can get.
Hope the pressure is off now. How did the assessment go?

Still waiting for assessment results! The moderator is in tomorrow so maybe this week?
This is such a clever and artistic interpretation - the troll certainly looks as fierce as I remember it from my childhood days.
How clever to make your own lino stamp. It made a great tag and you can use it again and again!
What a fabulous lino stamp...love your take on the theme! Great tag!!
Great image Jo, I used to love making lino cuts for printing at school to me back in my memories seeing your tag :)
