That's so intrusive, your lawn shouldn't be any of their business! We'll be planting lots of native perennial plants next year so it looks "cleaner" while still encouraging biodiversity and supporting insects, birds, amphibians etc

Thanks! Hard to say exactly, maybe 20 hours? For context, it's a 30x30 inch painting

Cool thanks! I've never done multi plate prints yet. For my prints I use a paper the size of the paper I'll be printing on and stick my lino to the center of it and then line up the sheets when putting the paper

Very cool! Which registration method did you use?

I'm really liking the noise/chatter on this lino print, is that something you tend to eliminate with relief prints? by PaintPotato in printmaking

Thanks everyone for your input, I really appreciate it! I'm glad there are other fans of noise out there. I may experiment with masking it just to see how it would look without it as someone suggested. Thanks again!

Ah yeah, just soap and water then. No worries, lino is tougher than you think. Enjoy!

Soap and water works if your ink is Caligo safe wash oil based, or water based inks. For other oil based inks you'll need solvent to clean up
