Last night I decided to try doing a linocut print, so tonight I did!

For my “return” (I did printmaking in high school), I decided upon Manfreda variegata, commonly known as the Texas Tuberose, a member of the agave family.

I used an unbacked linoleum, which explains the mediocre edges on the prints, but I’m excited to do more this summer! Overall, I learned I can do finer details next time, the linoleum needs to be backed to make the printing process easier, and that I need to work on my ratio of black to white.
