A few weeks ago, this column told
about H. E MacEwen and his limo
leum block prints. The suggestion
was made that this was good way
for one to produce distinctive
Christmas cards. Other subjects
suitable for reproduction in this way
are bookplates and any tpye Of pic
ture commensurate with the ability
of the artist.
The process is quite simple. and
a few detailed suggestions given here
should enable any one interested to
do creditable work in this medium.
Choice of subject for the first print
is important 1t should be simple
and should, so far as possible, be in
outline There should be either a
border Ca plain line will do or some
parts of the design should reach
out to all corners. This is neces-
sary to support the paper. Good
artistic composition would normally
determine the arrangement OF the
details and probably provide for this.
If there is no lettering involved
the picture may be sketched direct
" on the linoleum surface. Either
mounted or unmounted blocks may
be used although if the prints are
to be run in a regular printing press,
type-high blocks must be used.
However, it's possible to buy some
heavy, so-called battleship linoleum,
cut off piece of the desired size
and glue it to a wood block to
secure the desired height. II the
prints are to be made by any method
other than a commercial printing
press, mounted blocks are unneces-
Sary.
White surfaced blocks make it
easy to sketch the design on the
surface, but otherwise are not par
ticularly to be recommended. II
any lettering is involved use a good
quality tracing paper available in
sheets at stationerS) on which to
work up the design and then ce-
ment 1t face down on the linoleum
with rubber cement, cutting directly
through the tracing paper,
Cutting may be done with nothing
but a sharp knife, but one or two
additional tools will help. What
ever is used, the tools must be kept
sharp. Work with a small sharpen
ing stone beside you and keep a
razor edge on your tools.
| The first cuts should be made
around the edges OF the areas which
will remain and then the portions
| between may be removed A slant
| ing cut should be used along the
printing areas
Remember that linoleum has a
tendency to crumble when unsup-
ported, and the above method OF
cutting will offset this.
Fine linked lines may be produced
/ but it is more difficult to secure fine
