Year of Printmaking: February Chinese Lanterns

   

This weeks print is my monthly calendar print for February; I decided to focus on the upcoming Chinese New Year and depict some red Chinese lanterns. It's my first two colour linocut and was more detailed than I intended (hello difficult Chinese characters that try to say Happy Chinese New Year!) but I learned a lot to take into my next print and am pleased with how it turned out.

Here's a version to work as a free wallpaper for your phone (while I work on making these available as prints in my etsy shop):
